[Pessimistic]

Morrison speaking now.

Even the national Liberal party hardcopy PR mouthpiece, the Australian, fully knows what the Liberals election strategy will be:

Albo should condemn the Putin apologists in the US media and invite scomo to do the same

 

[Juddism]

The war is not going to matter to most Australians.

ASX. Fuel prices. It'll ****ing matter but not in a good way.

 

[Juddism]

The Pandemic brought two years of lockdowns and travel bans. Mass disruption. With a war in the Ukraine there won't be any noticeable difference to the lives of Australians despite a temporary spike in fuel prices.

They may fall in behind a clown screaming "war, war, war" if they get caught in the propaganda, but they're not going to suffer the consequences.

Just look at that press conference just completed. Morrison is "Standing up to Russian leaders, generals and mercenaries". it will make zero difference to Russia's actions, but it makes him look strong when the last few weeks has been full of stories about how weak a leader he is and how his own party hates him. From today on he's a "strong leader" leading a "strong unified team" standing up to Putin.

I think you think the Australian public are listening to him, they switched off ages ago.

He's swanning around the country using taxpayer funds to do campaigning and now he's trying a Tony Abbott on us. The public are already awake to this shit as see with the poll on national security re China.

 

[Burro]

ASX. Fuel prices. It'll ******* matter but not in a good way.

He could drop the fuel excise and cut the cost by 30 or 40 cents, but he won't because a lot of LNP friends don't pay it anyway.

 

[Gough]

ASX. Fuel prices. It'll ******* matter but not in a good way.

In terms of improving Morrison's standing I doubt it'll help.

 

[NSWCROW]

morrison : WE CONDEMN THIS !!!
Albo : So do we !!!!!

morrison : .....****

 

[Schneebly11]

Albo should condemn the Putin apologists in the US media and invite scomo to do the same

How about condemn the Putin apologists in his own government?:

Gerard Rennick - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Or condemn the member for Hughes who ensures the government keeps it's majority and was responsible for this recently:

Craig Kelly defends signing 'Russian agent' into Parliament

A rogue MP has defended his decision to escort a "self-described agent of Russia" into Parliament.

www.canberratimes.com.au

This is exactly what Albo should be doing now, but of course the Libs will attack back saying Albo is trying to "undermine national leadership in a time of crisis" even though that's what they are doing

He does that and suddenly he's politicising national security. Absurd but that's how it will be spun.

 

[DaRick]

Also, I've kept saying that Ukraine is about as analogous to September 11 as Syria was, and Australia was actually actively involved in providing air support over Syria! Didn't really cost Abbottabad anything - not that it had to, but still...

Also, to keep up the statesman image you have to be 1) reasonably stable and 2) trusted. You have to look like a steady hand at the till. ScoMo has too much of Latham about him to be truly stable, and he's widely distrusted, plus he's presided over god knows how many cluster****s, so even if he mouths the right words in this affair, I don't think enough voters will take him seriously.

The real effect on Australians will be a spike in oil prices, and that will piss off many working families. While that spike will ease fairly quickly, high oil prices played a factor in Howard's downfall too, albeit a minor one, because they made the 'felt' economy worse. I can't imagine they'd do an unpopular incumbent any good. And guess what Brisbane largely consists of? You guessed it, working families, including professionals and tradies. The latter would particularly feel it.

 

[QuietB]

Morrison is trying to get Australians to associate Australia/his government with this crisis by painting himself as "standing up for 1400 innocent Aussies who have been trapped in the Ukraine".

And Morrison does not have the best track record rescuing Australians

Australians stuck overseas 'abandoned' by their own country

Australians in India are the latest group to feel abandoned by their government amid virus fears.

He will end up wedging himself..... again.

 

[mellowyellow]

With the faux chest thumping I'd expect Morrison wil be sending troops into Russia next

 

[QuietB]

Albo should condemn the Putin apologists in the US media and invite scomo to do the same

That would be good - “will Scott Morrison call out Donald Trumps support of Russia? Does Scott Morrison agree Putin is a “genius”?”

That I would like to see. MSM will not actually ask the question though

 

[QuietB]

He could drop the fuel excise and cut the cost by 30 or 40 cents, but he won't because a lot of LNP friends don't pay it anyway.

He will. Howard did. He won’t do it until the campaign starts though - no point saving people from something they don’t even understand yet. A 10/20% drop in fuel prices at the start of the campaign is gold.

And if he gets re-elected it will go straight back on.

 

[Schneebly11]

Commentators on ABC News now while saying they're not sure how it will play out it feels as if a "9/11" moment in the upcoming election has occurred, ie a fundamental shift in the narrative of the campaign is going to take place. And made reference to how the Howard government's expected loss in 2001 was turned around due to it

9/11 was a moment because of how we all felt it could happen to us. This, not so much. It would probably take a hot war between Russia and NATO to have the same impact on Australians

 

[Pessimistic]

Howard could conflate it with asylum seekers. Will Scott be tough on Ukrainian asylum seekers?

Doubt it will make much difference to an Australia election besides the impact of higher petrol prices but Morrison could cut the fuel excise.

Not so sure about that, but wait and see. It might be a lot different in in a week or two.

 

[BruceFromBalnarring]

You know Bruce, I choose to believe this yarn, so well done you.

Baboons are truly scary things. Don't know what I would have done.

I reckon you'd have probably done the same, but with more panache.

 

[BruceFromBalnarring]

Has Morrison got his ministers addressing him as “Leader”?

 

[madmug]

Has Morrison got his ministers addressing him as “Leader”?

Don't know about that.

We do know they call him a hypocrite & a liar.

Not quite the same I guess.

 

[BruceFromBalnarring]

Did you see that press conference today with Penny Wong? “Thank you, Leader……as the Leader said….”

WTAF??

 

[carltonchelsea]

Yep.

Don't get me wrong, I loather Scummo and his cronies as much as anyone with a brain. But he will milk this for all it's worth. The media will be more focused on this than his last 3 years of f ups. I can see from the ABC News live feed he's preparing to address the nation at a podium flanked by Australian flags.

As much as I hate to do it here's a Sky News clip of snarky ass Caleb Bond. Yes he's a d*ckhead but he's revealing the Liberals election strategy.

Australia has to ‘look strong’ for the sake of the West

The Herald Sun’s Caleb Bond says it will “bode well” for Scott Morrison if things get worse in Ukraine as Australians will be leaning toward the incumbent government.
“But the only problem, really is there’s nothing we can do,” Mr Bond said.
“Having said that, we do have to try and look strong for the sake of the West, and that’ll look good to voters.”


I hate to say it but the election campaign fundamentally changed today. The Libs have the upper hand now I'm afraid.

They can’t make this last until the election and it’s a non issue in the greater schemes of our Australian electorates.
He can talk tuff all he wants, but the electorate already knows he a lying coward with zero spine and never up for the fight.
Our military is hamstrung under Lib/Nat idiocy, it will hurt him more than bolster his credentials.

Certainly the issue of the day
