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

[Pessimistic]

Just buid a coal fired power station and cut back on imigration. This will win the election.

The liberals need to stop being a poor mans labour.

Which one can be achieved before an election. Immigrants will already be locked in for six months if not a year. Power plant? be far quicker to tap Musk for some batteries.
But oh deal an ALP govt got one of those so its off limits to the poor old wedgers

 

[geelong_crazy26]

The highest profile ministers of the Turnbull government:

Turnbull: Gone
Bishop: Gone
Dutton: Bungled a coup, failed, lost the immigration portfolio, will have to fight for his seat, will probably be gone at the next election.
Morrison: Survived, but easily the lowest profile of the above, has to both build his own profile and that of three-four other ministers before the next election.

Also:

Barnaby: Gone, blew his load and his reputation.

The Liberals have put a gun in their mouth and blown their brains out. All for what? Appeasing the uneducated baby boomer cohort of Bolt, Hadley and Jones and their pathetic audience? They have destroyed themselves.

The liberals have hurt themselves by being a poor mans labour that is too focused developing policies that please the political class.

Cutting power prices instead of emissions is very popular. Most australians are hurting when the electricity bill comes.

Most australians also dont like our current levels of imigration. Its keeping wages down, increasing the cost of living and making us less safe.

These 2 issues should be what the liberals focus on.

They've been in power for five years.

Both sides of government are addicted to high innovation, as it brings growth, increase GDP etc.

I’m not against it per se, but they should really make it so when people come here at least a certain percentage have to live in a regional area, or at the very least not Melbourne or Sydney.

Both cities growing too quickly won’t help anyone as the infrastructure isn’t keeping up

 

[Blue1980]

Seems many hard core right wingers have a fantasy of closed borders, dozens of coal power plants, zero tax for business, and no dole payments.

You don’t speak for the majority you’re speaking on behalf of a very sheltered minority, opinion polls all state that cutting power costs at the expense of the environment isn’t popular at all.
I don’t think you understand a thing you’re talking about to be honest

Giving that coward abbott ANY role other than the backbench - fail


Congrats scomo for managing to **** it all up by day 4

Is this the young libs or the junior IPA? Either way they are delusional.

Do they actually learn anything at uni these days?

Betcha none of these young'uns have done a days hard slog at anything except count their entitlements.

This is where the Abbottitis begins

Don't mind the idea of Abbott as special envoy (or whatever it is) for Aboriginal issues, provided his office is in the far reaches of Kakadu or maybe Thursday Island.

..........He could still keep in touch via the NBN, surely?

 

[Admiral Byng]

not many indigenous leaders seem particularly thrilled with the post either.

Thought it was a spoof until I recognised some of them.

He should have nothing to with Indigenous Affairs.
If they do have his office in Doomadgee......So he can immerse himself in the job.

I'd like to ask a serious question of those who support the right wing of the Libs and their allies in thinking. (I'm hoping for serious and sensible responses. Yes I know I live in lala land)

What does it profit the Liberal cause to marginalise the centre, the swinging voters, where the election result lies, just to appease the extreme elements of the Right?

Most Australians are either slightly right or slightly left of centre on most issues. Sometimes going back and forth depending on the issue. This is not the USA. The utter loony percentage is well down. On the whole we would never support extremist policies of either end of the spectrum. If the Labor party adopted far left socialist policies, the populace would drop off them in droves (I mean real socialist policies, not as defined by Bronny Bishop et al). The same holds true for the idiocy of the extreme right.

What the Abbott cabal has done by driving the Libs ever further to the fringes of the right is abandon the middle ground to their opposition. This is the very definition of madness.

good idea. I'd advise stopping short of Blackface though

The "envoy" thing is actually a clever idea. Indigenous Affairs is one of Abbott's passions, one of the few things which does actually interest him. He is completely misdirected and patronising in the way he approaches it, as he is in most things - but it does represent an area where he could harmlessly direct his energies.

The idea here is to distract Abbott, so that he won't spend so much time wrecking, sniping, and generally destabilising the party's chosen leadership. Leave him as a back bencher and he has nothing to do, except make mischief. Promoting him to the ministry is just plain stupid. This has the potential to be a way of distracting him, without giving him any real power to influence things.

The only problem is that Abbott is a Rhodes Scholar, and not a complete imbecile - he saw through the whole thing as soon as it was offered (unlike Baaaarnaby, who was given an equally meaningless "drought envoy" role).

Park him on Friday Island instead. Thursday Island is actually inhabited.

Man Friday in his speedos

(... pardon me while I find a bucket)

he could take ALL his friends on an uninhabited island, and still have no-one to talk to

ScoMo's next problem?

Refugee advocates weigh potential legal challenge to Dutton decisions
27 August 2018 — 12:01am
Refugee lawyers and activists have been galvanised by the cloud hanging over Peter Dutton's eligibility to sit in Parliament, with a potential High Court challenge looming that could see thousands of asylum seeker decisions overturned.

Fairfax Media can reveal that human rights lawyers have been poring over the Solicitor-General advice last week that left open the possibility that Mr Dutton may be ineligible under section 44 of the Constitution.

Came in at the end of a Morrison interview on ABC today where he was discussing Education of farmers children.

Was he discussing access due to the drought? Did anyone hear what he was talking about?

Especially as those votes 'leaking' to ON and such flow back in preferences?

The Liberal Party right are absolutely convinced they represent “the silent majority” of Australia. They thoroughly believe that “the silent majority” of Australians agree with them, and when it comes to the ballot box, will support them.

If they don’t, they’ll find a different excuse as to why. It’ll be Turnbull (and possibly Morrison) dragging the party to the left (ie, the centre), giving them no time to refocus it and put in place their winning policies.

Anything but “we’re just not representative”.

They have been emboldened by Trump and Brexit, they thoroughly believe they have the support. All the Newcorp dailies picking off people one at a time helps them out.
