Scott Morrison’s Covid scam to help a third friend, Scott Briggs, become a millionaire via government contracts and fraud
Scott Morrison has recent history of helping his close mates make $million from government contracts such as David Gazard and Nine Chairman Peter Costello but the new Covid scam also involves another friend Scott Briggs. Mr Briggs is also the president of Scott Morrison’s Federal Electorate Council in his Sydney electorate of Cook.
Given Scott Morrison was sacked as Managing Director of Tourism Australia in 2006 for deliberate lies and deception in relation to the awarding of government contracts worth $184 million it should be no surprise that Morrison is funnelling as much money as he can to his friends while he is Prime Minister.

Before we look at the new Covid scam let’s have a look at the Submarine deal where David Gazard and Nine Chairman Peter Costello made a profit which I suspect was in the $millions. What is odd about the Submarine deal is that the media are now looking into the Covid scam because it involves Morrison’s friends, but the old media have never touched the Submarine scam, except for one story by the ABC in 2019, even though it also involves Morrison’s friends.
I published an article titled “France had Scott Morrison’s mate David Gazard on their payroll for the $90 billion Submarine scam. Has Morrison pulled off one of the biggest stings ever?” which sets out the background. While the submarine deal was announced in 2016 by the then Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull the contact was still not finalised until 2019.
The ABC reported (11/2/19):
A long-awaited contract for the $50 billion Future Submarine program will be signed in Canberra today by France and Australia, following months of tough negotiations and the recruitment of a high-powered lobbyist.
The ABC can reveal one of Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s key political confidants was recently hired by the French state-owned shipbuilder Naval Group to help improve a rocky relationship with the Defence department, and to secure a crucial Strategic Partnering Agreement (SPA).
“ECG Advisory Solutions“, a lobbying firm founded by former Liberal party candidate David Gazard, has been advising Naval Group since last year on how to handle the difficult SPA negotiations with Australia.
Mr Gazard, who was chief of staff to former New South Wales Liberal leader John Brogden, began his friendship with Mr Morrison when he was the Liberal Party’s State Director for the 2003 election.
In a statement, Naval Group confirmed the arrangement but did not disclose how much Mr Gazard’s company was being paid for its lobbying services.
