Fighting Fake News with REAL 15/4/22; Morrison's Leadership and ICAC; No voters seen on Morrison's Bus;

 

 May be an image of 1 person and text that says 'Katharine Murphy @murpharoo PM on ICAC. "I have honoured my proposal. The Labor Party don't support it. That is where the issue rests." Fact check: The proposal was never introduced. Labor doesn't support if because it's been universally panned. Doesn't explain why the legislation was never introduced.'

Morrison & corporate media have imported Trump's/Republicanism and overlaid opinion in place of news and facts in Australian Politics and media. All for the purpose of hallelujah  marketing to those still undecided and uninformed voters in marginal seats. Rather than any sincere effort at factual job application. The current short term bungee recovery reflected in the unemployment stats is his only tool and it doesn't in anyway really address the living experience of the majority of Australians but dangles promises and announcements like bubbles before us which has always been the Morrison way.

1) Nope Nope Nope describes Morrison and his LNP Government in that if you don’t agree with him and everything they demand nothing will get done. What's more it’s your opposition that’s at fault. ICAC is off the agenda and it's the ALP's fault despite the fact Australians want one. It's classical  Morrison victim blaming.

2) There is no room for Representative Democracy in a Morrison LNP government even within the coalition. Negotiation and compromise show weakness and he couldn’t give a running fuck if 60% of the nation don’t vote for him or members are abandoning the Liberal party at a rate never before. How strange the same is happening to the Republican Party in the USA

3) Morrison's LNP isn’t interested in passing any bills or any suggestion of Democratic compromise. Julia Gillard did that and almost set a record for the number of bills passed. A seemingly Kumbyiah record that actually, according to Morrison, represented weakness, a loss, not a win or progress in service of this country. Unlike his strength, and conviction which has resulted in nothing.  Yes, according to Morrison doing nothing is a sign of strength and he's noted for doing a lot of that these past 3 years.

Once again demonstrating the chutzpah and audaciousness that has come to frame his style when under pressure, Morrison denied that he had broken a promise and blamed Labor for its lack of delivery. Yes, the opposition. Yes, I know they are not in power, but he said it’s their fault we don’t have one because they would not vote for the government’s model.

You Know Who I am "I'm forever blowing bubbles Morrison"

 Morrison's Promise and the bubble  $220 M to Logging Companies and 73,000 jobs . Reality that's more than double the jobs that exist today an x15 the number in TAS increasing the entire TAS workforce by 33%

Lovely! the SMH, AFR, The Australian, Age and the Murdoch tabloids are all running with a story about Scott Morrison forking out $220m in grants to chop down trees. 73,000 jobs they reckon!

  It would appear that the $1.5 billion gas port that Barnaby Joyce wants to build in the Port of Darwin doesn’t stack up on any measure, potentially laying claim the title of least meritorious pork barrels of the election campaign, writes Callum Foote.

A Darwinian survival story: Barnaby’s northern port is more of a crazy boondoggle than thought


The only genuine voter he did meet he called a " Labor Apparachnik, and Tresspasser"  for trying to ask a question in a pub with no signs up saying "private"!

If you think being on the campaign trail with Prime Minister Scott Morrison means meeting real voters, think again. Mr Morrison has sewn safety harnesses, thrown basketballs and inspected native timber. But he has so far mostly avoided the activity you would think took precedence in a re-election campaign: meeting voters.

The Promise and the Bubble: I’ll sign a Stat Dec... Only if there's a court order

However, before he signs his statutory declaration to say he didn’t do what he likely did, he should consider the fact that accusations against him are not malicious, bitter slurs or in any way offensive if they are true. Now Morrison says the only reason he would be required to sign a statutory declaration is if a court ordered him to do so.
