Albo will be the next jeremy corbyn

FMD you lefty cheer leaders are a sad bunch of losers, what a melt there will be here when scomo wins the next election

Solid contribution.

Pretty funny, you of all people describing others as "cheerleaders" when your "contribution" never rises above the level of content-free puerile barracking.

Cause it is protocol. Why would anyone think it is in the best interest of the Prime Minister or nation to tell everyone where he is visiting and when as it can lead to his safety wellbeing being put at risk.

Huh no it isn't protocol.

 

[Noobz0r]

Huh no it isn't protocol.

Nah man, he vaguely recalls hearing it on the radio.

Wonder what Abbott thinks of Morrison sitting on the beach while he is battling an inferno.

 

[The Passenger]

Guess that’s what happens when the idiots on the other side are just as clueless.

The difference being one side of the electorate is happy to keep the feet over the fire of the politicians who - supposedly - represent them.

The LNP sycophantic bootlicker's will go to any length of mental gymnastics to defend their inept dear leader.

Rabbitt is probably really shat off.
Which just shows that every cloud has a silver lining.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Scomo ain't making it to the next election, Murdoch will organise his knifing after this shit storm.

 

[Bombermania]

Nah man, he vaguely recalls hearing it on the radio.

LOL I don't know what is funnier people making excuses for Morrison or the couple I just saw on the tram trying to get it off then realising they had missed their stop.

 

[deanc]

TimmeT wouldn't mind some evidence of this "protocol"

At the risk of placing pennies on the tracks of the PM bashing train here, if anyone can list previous dates and destinations of Scomo and a few recent former PM's personal holidays, without extensive research, I'd be very surprised?

The security protocols in place by the department of Prime Minister & Cabinet do not permit the public disclosure of any advance or current information pertaining to the PM's personal holidays! Only the PM or acting PM can approve of exceptions.

For one thing, during the PM's regular 'official' overseas travel/visits, he/she is usually accompanied by three, sometimes four AFP bodyguards, who often coordinate with the visiting countries relevant security agencies etc.- however when the PM travels on personal leave/ holidays, depending on the destination, it's usually just one bodyguard.

Still, don't let the facts get in the way of a good story - the PM ran away, while his country was burning, he was deliberately in hiding etc. etc...

 

[TheGodmother]

I've just heard. Gillard and Rudd are at the respective boarders, on the frontline fighting the fires. Abbott is wiping their brows. I wonder how Scomo is enjoying hell?

It is differently the case that a trip to a war zone wouldn't be announced beforehand but if a leader was gong on leave then the media usually knows it and many previous PM's openly promote where they were going but in the case the PMO appears to have wanted Morrison being on leave kept quiet.

That's fine, I have no issue with that. Was just wondering if it was factual or not.

Why continue to deny it once the media got a sniff though?

That's pretty much most posts by everybody in this thread.

 

[CM86]

Not safe for anyone to know where he is!

Continued being there for days after it was reported that he was there.

Life and death!!

PMO: "Don't believe everything you read on Twitter". After telling media not to report on him.

I won't dispute your opinion, but please note the PM's 'official' travel is publicly known sometimes 18 months ahead, whereas the PM's 'personal' holiday travel is usually not well known, for the reasons I outlined...

Please say personal instead of personnel, you're triggering me.

An article by a conservative commentator.

Scott Morrison's holiday has angered Australians. Here's why

There’s a reason former PM John Howard spent nearly every summer break over 20 years at the sleepy seaside suburb of Hawk’s Nest, just north of Sydney.

I think this is the most disappointing part of this story. I couldn't give two shits about where ScoMo is while the country is burning because ScoMo's not a firefighter and the allocation of those resources is a state issue, both of which are being handled about as adequately as humanly possible given the circumstances. I'm more concerned about his role after the fires - increased hazard reductions, looking after volunteers financially, water sourcing, etc.

Bet ten bucks that not a damn thing will be done for the volunteers because "they want to be there"
