Abbott doesn't want his daughter in media? *pfffffffft*

Abbott's daughter gets a free scholarship worth $60,000 in some (allegedly) shady deal, pissing off her fellow students who thought there were more deserving people of the scholarship. Abbott is asked about it in parliament and declares " I think families should be left out of it". 

Really? My how times have changed.....  Here's Abbott campaigning with the daughter now at the centre of the controversy:

Update:

Whitehouse-gate is taking off. Are we not allowed to ask questions about this?

But there’s no denying that the timing is politically awkward, particularly in light of the growing number of coincidences that the ‘Whitehousegate’ saga is throwing up. 

Coincidences like these: One of the first beneficiaries of the new Whitehouse Masters of Design Course will be Frances Abbott. 

Ms Abbott announced earlier this year she was relocating from Sydney to Melbourne to undertake the Masters. The course begins later this year. 

This was backed up by the Prime Minister, who updated the Register of Members’ Interests in April this year, reporting that Frances was no longer his dependent, given her move to Melbourne to further her studies. 

Ironically, that’s the same Register of Members’ Interest which Mr Abbott chose not to update after Frances was awarded the secret $60,000 scholarship at a design college chaired by his close friend and Liberal Party donor, Les Taylor. 

The Masters Course hasn’t yet begun, but fortuitously while Ms Abbott waits for her course to start, she’s managed to secure employment… at the Whitehouse Institute of Design. 

While the Prime Minister’s office and Whitehouse are maintaining that Ms Abbott was employed on the basis of merit as a “teacher’s aide”, a Whitehouse staff register obtained by New Matilda reveals that out of 74 staff, only one employee has no defined role listed next to their name. 

That staff member is Frances Abbott. more
