The Morrison trolls he claims need to be stopped. Dutton says politician's defamation cases need to be funded and defended by us and there's a record breaking army of lawyers prepared.
With a small army of lawyers having already gouged hundreds of thousands of dollars in fees, Canberra law firm Meyer Vandenberg continues to stand over independent media with defamation threats, writes Michael West.
Defamation disaster: bid to muzzle journalists, teachers, no more than a lawyers’ fee-fest
Whether or not he belongs in the same diagnostic ballpark as Caligula or Henry VI, Scott Morrison remains a dangerous and prolific peddler of damaging misinformation, his message amplified by a compliant and complicit commercial mass media. Whether or not he buys into the delusional myth he shared with Neil Mitchell, or the myth itself is yet another of his lies, Australians should be rightly perturbed by the fact they let someone who’s either ill-suited, or just plain ill, ascend to Australia’s highest political office. Yet Morrison may survive the looming election, propped up by people like Riminton’s neighbours: “They like (the PM) because ‘he’s moderate’; she doesn’t like (Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese) because ‘he’s snarky’ and doesn’t seem to do anything. She had to be helped to remember his name,” he wrote. “(It’s) a reminder to us all that elections are decided by the unengaged.”

Do-Nothing Morrison is doing the Trump. Trump showed the world that he wasn't a business man but was the entertainer they'd known for a decade before he became President. In the ensuing years they realised how wrong they were. They got a bit of a not so perfect wall, tax cuts for the rich a war with China and a loss of trust of their once reliable allies. Like Trump Australia voted in an image of a man and in the ensuing 3 years discovered they'd voted for a fake a do-nothing PM who openly says the IPA and International corporations will be the real problem solvers of Australia. After all he does believe in miracles and is PM by accident just as Trump was President.
Still, as the PM is now arguing, he’s the underdog in the coming election and needs to come up with something – anything! – to galvanise the electorate; and if demolishing science, the notion of public good and the functioning of government itself is the outcome, then hey: you can’t make an omelette without destroying civil society, right?Is Morrison game to suggest that the vaccine strollout, quarantine mismanagement and virus spread through aged care and cruise ships was actually a bold strike by the Liberals against their own COVID policies? If polls suggest it would save Kooyong from falling to the Greens, maybe don’t rule it out just yet.

BACK TO THE FUTURE
Scott Morrison and Angus Taylor – sitting atop the party that destroyed Julia Gillard’s carbon tax in 2013 and Bill Shorten’s climate plan in 2019 – have done the unthinkable. For the first time, they have acknowledged Australia cannot and will not get to net zero by 2050 without a carbon price of some form. The stunning and politically explosive concession, which is embedded in modelling released without fanfare last Friday afternoon of the government’s long-term emissions reduction plan, reveals every household may need to pay a carbon price equivalent of more than $1400 a year. That’s because the full reduction in net emissions by 2050 that Morrison and Taylor promised the world at this month’s UN climate summit in Glasgow requires a carbon price of $80 a tonne, according to the model. Clearly, for the Coalition, such a price is completely politically untenable. Which is why the government’s plan is modelled on a far less threatening price of $24 a tonne. The irony? Gillard’s short-lived carbon price – before Tony Abbott’s government legislated to abolish it – began at $23 a tonne.

Cuts to the ABC became became an "efficiency review" and consequently "no lie", The Idependant Statuary ABC protected from government interference has suddenly become "a nobody" and any statuary protections it had vanished. English is a strange language that when twisted allows a man to publicly declare he's never lied. The problem is the MSM media allows him the latitude to bullshit the Australian public.
But when asked about Buttrose’s criticism in his latest electioneering press conference, the PM insisted the inquiry was a normal process. “There is nobody above the scrutiny of the Senate,” he proclaimed. “I don’t know why they would consider themselves an exception to business as usual,” said the leader of a government that regularly treats itself as an exception to the rule, and has done all it can to prevent scrutiny of its actions, ministers and policies.
