The Senate committee examining the sports “rorts” controversy will ask the former sports minister Bridget McKenzie to commit to fronting the inquiry during the final parliamentary sitting week in March.
There was some speculation that McKenzie might attend a hearing of the inquiry in Canberra next Monday, when Scott Morrison’s departmental head Phil Gaetjens will appear. However, Guardian Australia understands McKenzie is not scheduled to appear on Monday and is yet to commit to a time.
