New Polling Shows More Australians Want Scott Morrison Deported Than Novak Djokovic

 

 

 

Australians are getting a stark reminder about how value is actually created in an economy, and how supply chains truly work. Ask chief executives where value comes from and they will credit their own smart decisions that inflate shareholder wealth. Ask logistics experts how supply chains work and they will wax eloquent about ports, terminals and trucks. Politicians, meanwhile, highlight nebulous intangibles like “investor confidence” – enhanced, presumably, by their own steady hands on the tiller. The reality of value-added production and supply is much more human than all of this. It is people who are the driving force behind production, distribution and supply. Labour – human beings getting out of bed and going to work, using their brains and brawn to produce actual goods and services – is the only thing that adds value to the “free gifts” we harvest from nature. It’s the only thing that puts food on supermarket shelves, cares for sick people and teaches our children.

 Can this Government embarrass itself any further?

 Given the Government’s treatment of women and refugees, Peter Dutton’s comments in the Sydney Morning Herald are pure hypocrisy.

ON 10 JANUARY, Minister for Defence and Leader of the House Peter Dutton told the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age that he found it “quite remarkable” that sports stars and celebrities weren’t using their status to criticise China’s human rights abuses and their treatment of women.

If Peter Dutton wasn’t a minister in a government that has kept refugees in detention for nine years and if his workplace of Parliament House didn’t have one-third of its employees having experienced sexual harassment, then his criticism of sports stars and celebrities wouldn’t be so difficult to stomach.

But as a man who described Brittany Higgins’ rape claim as “he said, she said”, Peter Dutton is nothing but an opportunistic hypocrite.

Peter Dutton's hypocrisy reaches new low

The LNP created the laws that dictate Djokovic needs to be deported. It seems Hawke will retire with Covid before deciding and nothing will happen.

In breaking news, there is no decision on Novak Djokovic. No, that’s it. That was the lead story in most news bulletins tonight. They could have added that there’d been no decision about a range of things like the integrity commission, the religious discrimination bill, the election date, the purchase of water bombers for bushfires, the resignation of a minister… But there’s only one story about nothing you can do per bulletin…
