Report points finger at Jami Lee Ross


Report points finger at Jami Lee Ross
Botany MP Jami Lee Ross faces suspension from the National Party caucus tomorrow after an independent investigation fingered him for leaking Simon Bridges' travel expenses.
The leak gave the media a few days jump on the story the new leader had racked up a six figure bill touring the country in a ministerial limousine.
Mr Bridges said today he accepts the report from accounting firm PWC that all the evidence points to Mr Ross, and also advice from senior lawyer John Billington QC.
Mr Ross, who is taking leave from parliament for health reasons, denied the charge and said he fell out with Mr Bridges several months ago after questioning leadership decisions.
Mr Bridges said Mr Ross was making false statements to shift the blame.
