Scott Morrison - How Long? (Part 1 - Continued in Part 2)

[masai]

Someone asked how many votes Bishop received. 11 apparently and 1 from WA - guess who?

I’m no political analyst, but Julie Bishop is probably the most respected nationally of the WA Libs, but Matthias “ Teflon “ Corman is allowed to undermine her.

Matthias organised the WA Libs state parliament campaign, last year. He stuffed up badly, bargaining a deal with One Nation, that exploded in the Libs face. As such the WA liberal party is in the gutter at present.

Back to the federal scene, Matthias is a senator for a state, but gives b... all thought to his constituents.

Why in human nature, is Matthias being dusted off for a cabinet post, but Julie is obviously being shown the “red card” ?. From my view on the grassy knoll, Matthias is a liability and a snivelling whiteanter.

And Bishop had just resigned as foreign minister. What are the odds he can hold this party together through the next sitting.

Rupert and his rags, still don't get it.

Why should the PM bring Abbott into his team, if he refuses to play by team rules ?.

Fix up your team skills in the 2nd’s, then return to the seniors when you have learnt your lesson.

 

[Hawk Dork]

Abbott would be toxic to most Australians now surely

I am not the one saying it, nor do I agree with the tweet.

Is Morrison a creationist?

The Hillsong mob certainly are, as are most Pentecostals and fundie born-agains (in my experience anyway). I don't know what his personal views are on the subject.

Jesus would be handy on a HFF

"What would you do if Jesus Christ came to Hawthorn today?"

"Move Peter Hudson to centre half forward."

Doubt he will spell them out, even Hastie has a well scripted response to avoid answering it and we are certain he is

What do they say about a Woman scorned?

The world is only 6000 years old and men rode on the backs of dinosaurs for transport

The joke when Buddy was still around was to move him to Centre half back.

When we played kick to kick in the neighbourhood all us kids would scream 'Jezza' when we took a hanger.....So not too far behind you.

 

[Freo Big Fella]

So they've now lost their two most electorally popular figures and their two best fundraisers for ... what, exactly?

 

[BlueBayou]

Glad someone got the reference

"What would you do if Jesus Christ came to Hawthorn today?"

"Move Peter Hudson to centre half forward."

The Treasurer is usually the most high profile role in the government after the Prime Minister, and Scott Morrison was probably the lowest profile Treasurer since Wayne Swan - arguably his profile was much lower because he hadn't had to deal with anything difficult.

His role as minister for immigration was higher profile, but his effectiveness in that role was quickly surpassed by Dutton (Dutton makes for a better undertaker).

So what confidence could you have that Morrison will make a better and more popular PM than Turnbull (or even Abbott)?

 

[Maggie5]

Interesting Melissa Price touted as Minister for the Environment (she was Assistance Minister for the Environment previously), which I wasn't even aware of but looking at her bio, she seems well suited to the position.

Prior to entering Parliament, Price was Vice President of Legal and Business Development for Crosslands Resources, an entity of Mitsubishi Developments which control the major Western Australian Jack Hills Iron Ore Mine.

Hmm, mining background, should please a few in the party.

Rupert and his rags, still don't get it.

Howard's judgement RE Abbott has consistently been appalling.

In his autobiography, he waxes lyrical about Abbott, praising him for being 'direct' (which he isn't usually; he's too incoherent) and 'authentic' (LOL). That despite his generally questionable Ministerial performances.

 

[Dry Rot]

So are Dutton and his mates content with this outcome, or will there be more trouble in store for our glorious new PM?

If the polls are still shit through to Christmas they'll be on the march again. Morrison will have to make some compromises here and there on policy which will be insufficiently conservative in their eyes.

It seems unbelievable now, but that was the criticism of Abbott before he was punted.

[SBD Gonzalez]

Morrison describes himself as standing for traditional family values and yet is a member of the party which, through its labour "deregulation" policies, has done more than anyone in Australia's history to break up the traditional family unit.

Anyone on less than an upper-middle class salary these days has been left entirely at the beck and call of their employer, struggling to maintain any semblance of a normal family life.

 

[Pessimistic]

I doubt Morrison abstaining from amending the marriage act will mean anything as the bill was passed and same sex couples can now marry, but if he attempted to change that then he will face a hiding.

How did his electorate vote in the survey?

55% yes.

If the Liberals reversed SSM they may as well set themselves on fire. It's not going to happen.

If the Liberals reversed SSM they may as well set themselves on fire. It's not going to happen.

It's the response to the Ruddock report on "religious freedoms" that will be the single focus of this government between now and the election.
