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

[Punt rd end]

Not really sure if I like this idea. Too American for my tastes

It's just a PR stunt, the new "good Aussie bloke" he is on your side, even puts on footy tips, he is one of us. Morriscum is a smiling assassin that has been in govt for 5 years and not once has he shown he is "on our side", or a good bloke.

Hillsong is such a fraud. Just a money making exercise hiding behind religion, sucking in the gullible in the process. I know a few of those gullible people myself.

See what I'd really like to know is - does Morrisson genuinely believe that God rewards the worthy and therefore if you're poor its your fault because you aren't worthy in God's eyes. This would explain a lot about how you can call yourself a Christian and make it your mission to put the boots into the poor. Leaving aside the fact this is a complete corruption of Christian doctrine it makes a great moral justification for being the sort of politician he is.
Or is it just the shield of respectability he hides behind?

There are plenty of shisters and other things hiding behind the veil of Christianity.

Julia Banks has announced she won't run again. She was a supporter of Turnbull, so obviously feels there isn't much point.

Her statement specifically cites how multicultural Chisholm is and says her voters liked Turnbull, and so did she. She blames people for holding grudges, including the media. She also says "I'm not done" and wants to help fight for equality, especially for women, citing misogyny as a problem in recent years.

Flag pin is, rather ironically, a very American thing. 'Patriotism' over policy.

I have no problem with him wearing it, but I'd rather see him doing stuff that's good for the country, rather than just saying he loves it and promoting others wearing them as if that's a key indicator of love of country.

It might be an even more pointed political thing, if the LNP plan on making a big deal about Shorten saying he'd like a plebiscite on becoming a Republic. I wonder if Turnbull will get back on board the Republic now he has some free time...

We're the patriots and the other mob hate Australia, pretty standard right wing shtick. Personally I prefer Red Emma's version.

Oi Oi Oi.

I wonder who will be the first to wear it upside down like Sean Spicer did.

Catholics are worse but that would leave very few alp leaders left

I think you need to specify & separate off the priestly class there, as opposed to your regular run of the mill, actual God-fearing good Catholic.

Liberal MP Julia Banks has announced she will not recontest her marginal seat of Chisholm in an incendiary letter blasting the “cultural and gender bias, bullying and intimidation” of women in politics.

In a blow to Scott Morrison’s attempts to heal the wounds of a party divided by the successful conservative push to remove Malcolm Turnbull, Banks revealed she had experienced intimidation and bullying both from within her own party and from the opposition Labor party.

Banks - who won Chisholm in the 2016 election with a wafer-thin margin of 1.24% after Labor held the seat for 18 years – noted in the letter she was elected “under the leadership of Malcolm Turnbull”.

She said she and her constituents had wanted Turnbull to remain prime minister and Julie Bishop to remain deputy Liberal leader.

Banks said she had always put Australia’s national interest “before internal political games, factional party figures, self-proclaimed power-brokers and certain media personalities who bear vindictive, mean-spirited grudges intent on settling their personal scores ... Last week’s events were the last straw”.

She described bullying and intimidation as a “scourge” in politics, the media and business, and warned those who would accuse her of “playing the gender card” that she will continue to fight for gender equality because women have been “silent for too long”.

While gathering signatures to force a party-room vote on Turnbull’s leadership, conservatives were accused of intimidating several women MPs and senators to support the push.

A few people have been asking about whether Labor will offer to “pair” Malcolm Turnbull during the Wentworth by-election.

There’s a long explanation but in short “No.”

 

[its free real estate]

Banks statement and the veiled swipe by Bishop (and the obvious treatment of her by her party) feel pretty momentous. This is not a good look if you want women to vote for you.

I cant get passed he's one of those hillsong *******s.

So is the new assistant treasurer.

They thought the question was about an "au pair" and didn't think the LNP needed any more.

Update on this: Chris Uhlmann says he has 3 names of people who will be called out for bullying by Banks, and they are just giving those three a chance to respond before going public with their names:

Faux patriotism and Pentacostal sky pilotry sounds a little too close to our American cousin's style of politicking for my taste. Someone needs to ask him about all this Hillsong bollocks.

I sniff another " Team Australia " wank coming on.


At least THIS pm was actually ****en BORN here....not like that other ****wit........................................

Yasmin really?

I was sleepin' like a rat
When I heard something jerkin'
There stood Rita
Lookin' just like Tony Perkins
She said, "Would you like to take a shower?
I'll show you up to the door"
I said, "Oh, no! no!
I've been through this movie before"
I knew I had to split
But I didn't know how
When she said,
"Would you like to take that shower, now?"

Well, I couldn't leave
Unless the old man chased me out
'Cause I'd already promised
That I'd milk his cows
I had to say something
To strike him very weird
So I yelled
"I quoted Yassmin on a BigFooty forum"
Rita looked offended
But she got out of the way
As he came charging down the stairs
Sayin', "What's that I heard you say?"

I said, "I quoted Yassmin Abdel-Magied"
I think you read me right"
And I ducked as he swung
At me with all his might
Rita mumbled something
'Bout her mother on the hill
As his fist had hit the icebox
He said he's going to kill
Me if I don't get out the door
In two seconds flat
"You unpatriotic
Rotten Muzzo rat"

It just translates as pleb mentality. Plebs acting as plebs help the people in power stay in power.
