Keen to prove he understands the key figures better than his Labor counterpart, the Prime Minister confidently stated this morning that the cost to pay out a former staffer to compensate for the harassment she received from one of your cabinet ministers is half a million dollars. “That’s the cash rate. Once you take into consideration lawyer’s fees, bank fees and other transaction costs it would be closer to $600,000,” Morrison clarified, quick to show off his attention to detail.

The cost of Morrison's blunder was lives pain and money unlike Albo's mistake. He generously gifted a foundation with no staff, no office, $18million+ and it's not even operational.
‘I don’t hold the hose’ ‘The election isn’t about me it’s about you’
Morrison with the team of Murdoch, Costello, and Stokes is doing what he
did to Towke, to Abbott, to Turnbull to Julie Bishop sending out
messages drawing attention away from himself insisting his past performances are, a Non Disclosure Agreement. It’s all that he’s ever done. He's never changed yelling "not me"!
One needs to ask why our MSM obliges Morrison by not reminding the Nation that "I'm not a liar" Morrison is just that, a liar! A con we have all come to know but don't need. One whose lies and blunders have cost us mega bucks of wasted money. $5bn lying to Macron. Lives lost due to his stroll out of vaccines to aged-care and others. His SloMo deployment of the ADF during the fires, floods and pandemic emergencies. Why have the media editorials wiped his slate clean before this election preferring to concentrate on Albo's trivial and costless gaffe as if that makes him less of a leader than the lying asshole of a PM we have suffered these past 3 years.
Even John Howard said "so what" but now the media are focusing on his "walk back" as just a mistaken reaction to what he first heard. The MSM seem more the Morrison Government's propagandists than a source of public information. The media in 2013 headlined "No Cuts " for Abbott. This time round it's massive "promises" of Dams, Jobs and Wage increases promises coming from a serial liar while bagging the opposition leader who that has a 25 year positive history. When Albanese was in government he delivered but that goes unmentioned and he's labelled "unknown and a fumbler. Cash for comment isn't a mindless conspiracy theory it's real and we are currently witness to it.
Morrison had a more urgent task. He had to somehow distance himself from his government to give it a better chance of holding on to power. Almost in his first breath at his news conference Morrison said his government “is not perfect” and had never claimed to be. He went on to say they had “been upfront and you may see some flaws”. Clearly, he was talking about himself. The principal flaw, of course, is far from being upfront – this Prime Minister is a past master at obfuscation, blame shifting and coming late responding to crises. This goes a long way toward explaining why the approval of his performance in the latest Newspoll continues to be deep in negative territory. In a piece of curious framing, Morrison says others will seek to make the election about him, but “it’s actually about the people who are watching this right now. It’s about them”. Work that out.

One week since prayer room allegations and barely a peep from the mainstream media. It has been a week since the contents of the Sparke Helmore investigation into allegations of misconduct by federal Liberal Party ministers in the Australian Parliament House Prayer Room by YouTube channel FriendlyJordies. Not to mention AFP raids on the whistleblower who helped with the investigation. Sparke Helmore Lawyers, which have received $162 million in contracts from the Morrison government, investigated allegations that Liberal Party MPs brought sex workers into Parliament House.

John Howards reaction ” So What”
They are madly tut-tutting today, the Coalition’s typing pool. “It was a horror,” lamented Phil Coorey in the AFR. “Unfit to be PM,” shrieked Rupert Murdoch’s most ingratiating windbag Terry McCrann in the Australian, flanked by Judith Sloan who conflated Albanese’s gaffe with the entire “Party’s complete misunderstanding of the jobs figures”. Michael West reports on Albo’s howler and hogwash masquerading as journalism.

This
has been the very style of the LNP for a decade pledges made pledges
broken "No cuts to" all broken. A pledge to deliver a better NBN. Pledge after
pledge but no bills passed. Julia Gillard passed more bills than Abbott,
Turnbull and Morrison and she was a minority government. Nevertheless Costello's CH9 broadcast Morrison's stealing credit due to the states and broadcasting promises made that have never been kept. Taking credit for a drop in unemployment due to a halt in global immigration as if they were ahead of the game.
Rachelle Miller is another a 10 year member of the LNP who worked for them is another member of Morrison's own Party to call him a "liar"
The internal war within the NSW division of the Liberals over preselections has led to a mass exodus of members, with more deserting the troubled party this year than the previous two years combined.This year 325 members have quit, while just 102 members resigned in 2020
Membership figures were presented to the party’s state executive meeting on Friday night, showing hundreds of members have resigned this financial year, which still has several months to go.
A Minor headline is given to John Howard "‘So what?’: Labor leader finds unlikely ally in former PM Howard
And this is what the Age comes up with
Scott Morrison will ramp up his economic attack on Anthony Albanese, seizing on the opposition leader’s inability to remember the unemployment or official cash rate.
PM pledges 1.3m jobs in five years after Albanese’s rates blunder
