Scott Morrison career

Marshall McCluhan a devout Catholic defined Morrison's style of "pressers" as "not hot" but "cool" more propaganda than information and definitely fake News to appease the ears of the converted or his "tribe" according to Foucault. It's all just "culture wars" as far as Morrison is concerned there aren't any real material facts. 

Morrison is simply scared of losing any more LNP moderates while not ruffling the nutters in Joyce's Right-Wing National Party. He needs them all to stay inside his camp to maintain a majority government. Particularly the moderates for having moved so far right to appease the absolute extremists in the Coalition. He was prepared to kick a silent antivaxxer Djokovic out of the country but he keeps the loud George Christensen, Canavan, and others in his Party Room close. Morrison brags about one and stays shtum or whispers on the others. Yet, he is, or was happier to see the real Liberals like Banks, O'Dwyer, Bishop leave. 

Morrison is no fan of public service and leaves servicing the public up to private enterprise as reward to his donors. He shuns the ABC in favor of Peter Costello's 2GB and Murdoch's Sky. His CV shows he doesn't hold the hose and never has preferring others to do the work while he networks. That way hes Teflon and nothing has ever been his fault even when the shit hits the fan. Hot News is according to McCluhan the critical and rational analysis of facts, comparative statistics, actions in context, and history that test or are a yardstick to what Morrison says the government is doing. When applied Real News is the enemy of the Morrison Government who can fool the electorate some of the time but not all of it as Morrison constantly does.

In among a string of election campaign failures, Morrison had a regular habit of leaving or being pushed out of jobs before his contracts were finished.There were two stints that have, perhaps understandably, been scrubbed from his Wikipedia page.

The first was a period at big four consulting group KPMG in 2000, where he was attempting to start up a tourism practice.

The second was an ill-fated turn as the strategic director for the campaign of New South Wales Liberal leader Peter Debnam during his failed 2007 election bid.A self-styled “marketer” (he actually has a Bachelor of Science in applied economic geography from UNSW) Morrison instead hired others to do the marketing work, according to a number of people that worked with him in his various tourism jobs, while he focused largely on the networking.

This networking brought him into contact with Liberal grandees who promoted him ever higher, until he landed in — or rather was parachuted into — federal parliament in 2007.

rapid tests greg hunt

Any wonder Greg Hunt is getting out of Politics. His electorate is much wiser. Businesses and the Media are at fault not the LNP

Health Minister Greg Hunt has accused businesses of lying about desperately needed supplies of rapid COVID tests being seized by the federal government. There have been multiple claims from Australian businesses that they have been told by wholesalers that orders of rapid tests for workplaces have been diverted to fulfil government orders. On Wednesday, the South Australian government also said it had asked regulators to investigate reports of its RATs had been improperly diverted to other states. But in Canberra on Thursday Mr Hunt emphatically denied suppliers’ claims that orders of the scarce tests were being requisitioned by the government. “They are lying. That is why I am reporting them to the ACCC,” he said.

Whilst Labor’s policies are preferable to the Coalition’s, they fall far short of what must be done. We cannot afford the timidity shown by the two major parties who bow to pressure from vested interests and are paralysed by fear of reprisal from their colleagues as much as from the electorate. Nor can we afford the denial from Barnaby’s mob and the Pauline and Clive cults. When Labor form government, the necessity for action will only be greater and the voices demanding it even louder. I hope they are ready.

A mass experiment in Iceland found that workers with four-day weeks became happier and healthier and got just as much done. It’ll take worker organizing to win a demand like that.

He did this mainly through a 1500-word salad introduction which contained more double-speak, deflection, diversion and distraction ingredients than you’d find on a shelf of Yotam Ottolenghi recipe books.

Morrison is now so adept at shape-shifting, finger-pointing, excuse-conjuring and shameless denial that he can get away with just about anything.

Shape-shifting PM avoids blame for vaccine mess

New modelling by the Burnet Institute, due to be published on Monday, shows NSW’s restrictions will not be enough to make a major dent in the number of new daily COVID-19 cases occurring in coming weeks.

“At the current level of reactions, the modelling, which is based on the impact of the restrictions in Victoria last year, indicates the cases will not decline significantly in the coming month,” Burnet Institute epidemiologist Mike Toole told The New Daily.

But a shift to similar restrictions as Victoria had in stage four last year, would lead to a plunge in cases, Professor Toole said.

 Christian Porter wants to strike part of the ABC’s defence to his defamation claim from the court file on the basis that they contain “scandalous” and “vexatious” material.

Media organisations, including Nine, are fighting to gain access to 27 pages of the ABC’s 37-page defence, which are redacted under a temporary suppression order.

The public have a right to know as it was Porter that brought the defamation case against the ABC and the chose to withdraw it. Why now should it be regarded as not fit for public consumption?

BUT OBAMA TOLD SPIES TO GIVE CUBA INFORMATION

The media savages Donald Trump for giving Russia a scrap of intelligence about ISIS. But this order from Barack Obama was fine: "The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) will ...  find opportunities for engagement on areas of common interest through which we could exchange information on mutual threats with Cuban counterparts.”
Typical Bolt distort and then go to a yes but response. Obama's directive was public and in plain sight of the Intelligence community he didn't flap his chops in a a private divulging state secrets. Big difference but one that doesn't suit the current News Corp  White House Policy. Defend Trump at all costs. What Obama did was in clear knowledge of Congress and the intelligence services big difference.

BANNING THE PIE MAN: HAS QANTAS GOT TOO PERSONAL?

How many Qantas passengers have been convicted of assault, rape or even murder - yet are still allowed to fly? Yet Qantas and Jetstar have banned for life a man who shoved a pie in the face of Qantas boss Alan Joyce. Note, too, that there are very few flying options, so the ban comes close to a denial of a vital service.

What a pathetic defense Bolt puts up "Note, too, that there are very few flying options, so the ban comes close to a denial of a vital service." Had it been a student pieing a pro Israel speaker Bolt would be demanding they be jailed. QANTAS is a public company and on any other day Bolt would maintain and defend their right to do whatever they wanted. Today he posted Rowan Dean's comments in support of John Laws agreeing that as an employer Laws had the right to demand whatever he wanted of his staff because he was the employer. Bolt was nodding however not so QANTAS. It goes to show just how two faced Bolt is.



 Trump Meeting Contained Absolutely No Intelligence, Russia Confirms

Trump satire
The Russian foreign minister has responded to the growing furore over his recent White House meeting with Donald Trump, saying the meeting was totally devoid of intelligence.
“If there was intelligence in the room, we didn’t see it,” Mr Lavrov told a press briefing. “We may have shared some intelligence with him, but it was certainly a one-way trade”.
He sought to calm fears about US secrets falling into Russian hands. “Through our sources we get leaked a transcript of every conversation that takes place in the Oval Office. But we’re yet to see anything of substance, so Americans can rest easy”.





FAIRFAX WAKES UP: YES, ABC STEALING AUDIENCE

I've long warned the ABC misuses taxpayers' money to help drive Fairfax out of business. Finally Fairfax boss Greg Hywood says it, too: "The ABC is creating additional pressure on local commercial media by aggressively competing with the same audience that commercial media rely on by providing online content for free." Same Left-wing audience, too.    
18 Well why don't the private media companies provide the national services that all Australians need and deserve as citizens of Australia. All you need do is turn on Fox tel and free to air services and see what News Corp doesn't sell and isn't the slightest interest in supplying. Australian content for one we know Murdoch is chasing a globalized service entertainment content provided out of the USA. 
No rural content no news or information and panel content cloned from the style of Fox News. 
Don't let Bolt kid you he battling here for 'media' he's not. It's the battle to destroy news and information in Australia. When the ABC fails to have the trust of the Australian electorate to the extent News Corp has then Bolt's argument might just hold some water but now it holds none. 

 

 

SAVVA: THE BUDGET MEANT TO SAVE TURNBULL WASN'T

So was this a Budget meant to save the Turnbull Government? That depends when you asked the question: when the Budget was just delivered and looked good, or now, when the polls show it's done nothing to save the Liberals. Regard Niki Savva.
  "Fingers crossed that wrecking everything the party stands for will somehow convince voters that the L:iberals stand for something:" Bolt. This is a typical statement from an obtuse Andrew Bolt What is it he's trying to say that tony Abbott all guns drawn is about to smash the liberal Party to show what it is he stands for himself? Somehow Bolt like all paranoid conservatives from the alt-right seems to thing that QANTAS, and the BANKS are sucking up to Labor why? The paranoia just can't have them believe Australians  are for same sex marriage and that it's not just an insidious Labor political ploy. Does anybody realize  that we are the leading  backward nation on this issue. Canada legalized it over 10 years ago as did some states of the USA. Ireland recognizes it and it's not been a Labor ploy. Tony Abbott is watching his words in case the bad polls are blamed on him. He's staying stum" The budget is the government's Plan B, but what's Plan C if polls stay bad?
THIS 'FAIRNESS' IS JUST ENVY

THIS 'FAIRNESS' IS JUST ENVY

We now have a deadly measure for judging a Budget and it’s not whether it will make us better off. It's whether it's "fair". But this "fairness" is the kind that will make us equally poor.  
Col What's unfair is Bolt has gone on three days in a row on this same topic and calls it work. What it is is non productive repetition for which he gets paid. It's of no value to anyone but Bolt. Firstly the ABC isn't promoting the argument which Bolt suggests they are they are reporting the work of some philosophers. So Andrew Bolt true to form is bull shitting for a start. Secondly families aren't and have never been the universal social unit for raising kids and it isn't today. The nuclear family is less than 200 years old and is infact changing as we speak. In fact it's increasingly becoming a dysfunctional unit and is changing out of economic necessity. 
The Israeli Kibbutz never saw the family as the major socializing unit in society nor did the Chinese. The extended family in India has a higher priority than the the nuclear family for raising children. Bolt's myth that wealth is a sign of  entreneurship, hard work and prudence is just that a myth and his three days of non productive Labor is living proof of that. The growing poor are not only harder workers they are far more prudent than Bolt and as for entrepreneurship they invent more ways to make extra money than the rich. If there is any envy it's really anger because it's quite clear the idle rich do nothing productive . They  collect interest and capital gains and do if anything jobs like a Andrew Bolt which are a waste of time and energy as far as an adult male id concerned

 

Job Fears For 90% Of Millennials After Latte-Art Robot Invented  

latte art
The vast majority of people under the age of 30 are at risk of losing their job, after a scientist developed a robot that can do latte art.
Melbourne University scientist Simon Kowoski said the robot has already mastered love hearts and leaves, making the key skills of over a million Millenials obsolete over night. The robot is now working on a grumpy cat motif, which – if successful – will put an end to the careers of highly skilled operators as well.
The robot is in the early stages of growing a beard.

An initial survey of customers shows a high approval rating, with many citing factors such as efficiency, superior body odour, and not being invited to see someone’s awful band.
Mr Kowoski is now working on a baby boomer robot that can sit idly and complain despite complete financial security.

PUTIN OFFERS TRUMP HELP THAT WON'T HELP

Vladimir Putin is enjoying Donald Trump's strife: "Putin last night said he was prepared to release transcripts to prove Donald Trump did not pass any secrets on to the Russian Foreign Minister... “(Lavrov) didn’t share these secrets with us.... That is very bad of him,” Mr Putin said to sniggers from the audience."
 Bolt's turned against Abbott it would seem and is now like Trump defending Putin. It seems Abbott was unfair in wanting to shirtfront Putin. If Trump is a proven liar as was Tony Abbott and Putin is regarded as a deft one Bolt it seems a convicted one does support and continues to support the liar's club.
 
BILL SHORTEN IS LABOR'S TONY ABBOTT

BILL SHORTEN IS LABOR'S TONY ABBOTT

BILL Shorten is Labor’s Tony Abbott. He’s unpopular, the media mocks him, his rivals want him gone and … but wait, his party will win. It’s strange that the more Labor wins, the more Shorten’s critics whinge that he’s holding it back. We've seen all this before.
Tony Abbott doesn't have Party support if he did he only had it for a fleeting moment. Shorten has his Party's support and he's had it for quite some time. Bolt's frustration is in the fact that Shorten doesn't have to do anything but sit back and watch Abbott doing a Rudd with a significant singular difference he hasn't the support of the electorate or the party so he needs to terrorize it and he needs to do it now because time is running out.

Migrants Failing To Assimilate, 200-Year-Study Finds

australia flag
Migrants to Australia have displayed an inability to assimilate with local values and refuse to speak anything but their native tongue, a study covering the last 200 years has found.
The study confirms a popularly-held belief in parts of the country that migrants simply refuse to fit in.
Boat people from as far back as 1788 didn’t bother applying for passports or visas, were bent on introducing their own laws, and, in many cases concealed criminal records, according to the damning report.

–– ADVERTISEMENT ––
Chief researcher Marianne Williams said migrants have stubbornly refused to adapt to the local culture. “They haven’t made an effort to fit in, and in a lot of cases they’ve tried to impose their own laws onto those already here”.
One migrant, a chook thief in his native England, immigrated to Australia in 1803 and despite his past career and skill set, was reduced to working as a local politician to make ends meet.




 

 

 

 

 

 

 Wages flat - but not for public servants

REAL WAGES FALL, BUT NOT FOR PUBLIC SERVANTS

My editorial from The Bolt Report:
17 May Bolt is a  blind man pointing out that wages for the public service didn't fall while failing to mention that those of some 24  Hedge  Fund managers rose to $14.5 billion dollars on low performance figures. $5.9 million per day. It seems when it comes to private enterprise figures of that magnitude are fine. The man is a fish out of water when talking money. The rich are getting richer and the poor poorer and Bolt says it's the public servants fault. "Good performance, mediocre results or even downright ugly returns. When it comes to hedge funds, it scarcely matters. The 25 best-paid hedge fund managers earned a collective $14.8 billion last year.
Wage growth has been flat for 3 years that's when Tony Abbott took the helm of SS Australia isn't it? He told us he'd fixed the economy if I recall and that was BS
