Scott Morrison - How Long? Part 2

[AM]

In contrast to the scumbag, a genuine kind humanitarian.

 

[raskolnikov]

Every thing ScuMo does just reeks of classic symptoms of narcissism.

 

[Bradesmaen]

I notice since it was shown to be a Liberal Party advertisement that our "greens started the fires" friends have left despite still being online

 

[Chief]

He's winning friends everywhere.

This is a full PR campaign to plaster over the PM’s appalling behaviour.

What else from Scummo?

 

[DaRick]

I assume you are, then, also quick to dismiss information issuing from the far Right echo chamber, known as The Australian, The Daily Telegraph, The Courier Mail, The Western Australian, etc.

Think he was being sarcastic.

Agree with all and sundry here that using a tragedy to make political ads is not a good look, nor is it considered normal political practice historically.

It was sarcasm.

Ah, apologies if so to Art Corvely, I must have missed the necessary context.

See above post.

Katherine Murphy nails it here:

Scott Morrison's political ad is a bizarre act of self-love as firefighters battle to save Australia | Katharine Murphy

The prime minister’s promotional video was staggeringly objectionable and highlights his failure to lead

True. Obviously, governments will use ads in times of crisis for information, but this is self-promotion plain and simple. What makes it all the more bizarre is that it's 'promoting' a back-flip that has come weeks too late.

 

[Lethality]

Liberals donate button was even sending money to the LNP rather than bushfire victims for a while. I think they fixed it now.

 

[JP Sauce]

Haven’t seen a “SCOMO 4 MORE YEARS!” post in a little while.

 

[Father Jack]

Ah, apologies if so to Art Corvely, I must have missed the necessary context.

Don't worry, it is bloody hard to tell on here sometimes. There are some posters that have been on here for a while and I'm still not certain whether they're taking the piss, are Russian bots or both

 

[Ok Boomer]

Stick a fork in him. Poor economic performance coupled with horrible disaster management. He is done. Throwing a state leader under the bus won’t save the selfish POS.

That advertisement today was just more reprehensible conduct to add to the list.

 

[NSWCROW]

* man....

 

[TBellicious]

The chronicles of Scomo are getting increasingly despicable every day.

It astonishes me how he creates another shameful display of leadership after another.

A man with zero empathy, modesty or intelligence.

The worst PM in recent history.

 

[DaRick]

I thought when he was elected last year that he would turn out to be Turnbull Mk 2 (with more right-wing social policy), although his handling of this makes me wonder whether I was hard on Turnbull.

He's making ol' George's handling of Hurricane Katrina look decisive and well thought-out.

If I were a Lib I'd be livid. This should have been an easy win (from a political standpoint) to get enough good publicity and brownie points to win them the next election. He could have done anything. ******* anything. Hell even helping a sausage sizzle for affected families like Albo has done would suffice. Now Morrison's reign as PM is terminal and the LNP are not far behind.

 

[Nankervis brothers]

Richard Flanagan writing for the New York Times, on Morrison and the LNP's climate change denialism, the vast majority of which rings true. Excerpt:

"The situation is eerily reminiscent of the Soviet Union in the 1980s, when the ruling apparatchiks were all-powerful but losing the fundamental, moral legitimacy to govern. In Australia today, a political establishment, grown sclerotic and demented on its own fantasies, is facing a monstrous reality which it has neither the ability nor the will to confront. Mr. Morrison may have a massive propaganda machine in the Murdoch press and no opposition, but his moral authority is bleeding away by the hour."

Wow, karma bus absolutely whaling on Smoko the Ad guy now!

The LNP nailed their colours to the mast on this issue. And now it’s coming home to roost.

They are big mining, through and through.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

LNP will still get in next election.

Murdoch is organising the hit as we speak.

Who is the next PM though? That's the question.

Nah, even if his management of this was competent, it wouldn't help him much in some far-off election (case in point: Anna Bligh in QLD 2010/11).

I just hope that we don't have to descend into some sort of ridiculous NSW Labor/late 1980's QLD Nats-style farce wherein they change their leader several times in a term and just generally display shocking levels of corruption and incompetence (if we aren't at that point already) before the Federal LNP are finally voted out.

Good video, but why did you copy my avatar?
