The ScoMo Government

Jump to new
YOU MUST BE JOKING !!!!

What the hell is wrong with just gritting your teeth and lying your way through the indefensible confident in the knowledge that

1) Other Ministers in this Government have successfully done this
2) This is now the accepted political way of truth free politics
3) Of course the Government uses public funds to sandbag elections.
4) "Democratic" Governments of a conscience free persuasion are now allowed to do anything they want to achieve re election because their re election is in the interests of the country. ( Trump 2020 impeachment narrative)

But apart from all the current real politick arguments , I agree with your sentiments..
 
McKenzie will likely be shot late Friday arvo, you know so every one will forget by Monday.

Love to be a fly on the wall as she reminds Morrison it was his staff that directed her choices so what he going to give her in return for her stepping down or will she save her parting shot for another day?
 

No doubt ScoMo will learn from Howard and bring her back at a later date in a probably elevated position.
 
It's getting ridiculous
 
Noticed they are trying to get the cashless welfare card introduced nationally. Banks, woolies and Coles must be cheering.

Personally I've been sick of the authoritarianism and controlling aspect coming out of this government. There are multiple policies that are following a similar vein.

I want them gone and will commit to seeing them thrown out next election.
 
Let's see.....

We've had fires in every state with some of them seriously bad.

Flooding or hail storms affecting parts of Queensland, ACT, SA and I think Victoria (not sure on that last bit).

We've got major power transmission lines that are supposed to be standing up now lying on the ground in a twisted mess in Victoria, a not insignificant infrastructure problem.

We've got a political scandal over the seemingly simple task of how to allocate funding for sports facilities.

Oh, and a global pandemic.

All in just the past month.

I'm not blaming the government for all or even most of that but we most certainly need some leadership amidst the chaos.
 
If your worried smurf, its time for everyone to worry, maybe time for Albo to rise to the occassion.

My concern is at least partly that if the average person looks around them then what they see is chaos.

Vast areas burnt, other places flooded, infrastructure problems, political scandals, multiple high profile businesses downsizing or outright closing, disease outbreaks, flights cancelled, people in quarantine......

It's not quite the apocalypse but I don't recall ever seeing this much drama in such a short space of time and if it doesn't result in consumers firmly closing their wallets and resultant economic fallout then I'll be stunned really.
 

I've always thought that this government will just be papering over the cracks instead of repairing the structure and nothing I've seen so far has changed my mind.

Like most conservative governments, everything is ok to them as long as they are in power and their mates keep the donations rolling in. What we need now are a few casual vacancies in marginal coalition held seats (resignations to spend more time with the family etc) and Labor party wins in those seats. Labor could be only a whisker away from government if things go right for them.

Afraid it is pic of north of Buchan in East Gippsland on "Wombargo Track looking towards Cobberas".

 

Yes and apparently the report stated no problems with the money allocation.......maybe because it was run from the PMs office and cabinet, nasty business this politics.

Some how I dont think its over given the leaks have come from inside the Coalition so far.
 
Looks like Scomo is a goner.

From the article:
Voters have turned on Prime Minister Scott Morrison over his response to the summer bushfires in a sign he could be “irretrievably damaged” by a series of stumbles, including his decision to take a holiday in Hawaii.

Angry at a “pathetic” and “disorganised” response to the crisis, voters blamed Mr Morrison for being too slow to act on the threat and failing to show empathy with Australians suffering in the aftermath of the fires.
But some believe Mr Morrison can recover from the crisis if he “sticks to his policies” over the years ahead, showing he has continued support from those who backed the Coalition government at the last election.

The findings, based on focus groups run by research company Ipsos for The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, also revealed majority support for greater action on climate change despite doubts about putting a price on carbon.

The polls don't lie.

I'd forgotten to add cracking and flammable buildings to the list.

It seems that rather a lot of chickens are coming home to roost so far as the consequence of neglecting technical* things are concerned.

*Technical as in anything practical - building, medical, environmental, anything that isn't paper shuffling and rear end covering. Basically all those things which governments used to do until they decided it was too hard.
