Play Nice Scott Morrison - How Long? Part 7 - Prosperity Theology, The Coal Man + His Bootlickers

[Magruder]

Somehow the national conversation temporarily centres around two privileged white men and their feels.

the less said about the shrill desperation of PVO the better.

But a clear Sign we are heading toward an autocratic state is the conjoining of perceived slight against Morrison with disrespect for the office Of PM.

bloke imposed himself on someone who very clearly wanted nothing to do with him. If we limit ourselves to an examination of this inciden,and therefore somehow disregard Morrison’s many transgressions, why are we not decrying an obvious and clear act of bullying?

and why are we not talking about Colbeck?

probably because its about votes, pure & simple.

Did it have a supporting link or is it aimed at 'the converted' .... when its too good to true, it may not be true.

I'd find it hard to be true. But then I remember that Trump wanted his own personal signature on CoVid assistance cheques and Frydenberg printed election material in the exact same style as the AEC so you never know these days....

Cant find any source for this - be interested if someone does?

Most of us want to talk about Colbeck, but simply, a divisive subject matter such as culture wars is so juicy for the media and players.

why is the preacher man involved in the australian of the year award anyway .... surely its ceremonial award best left to the GG

Probably does not matter if it is true or not - this election is going to be so dirty

Adam Goodes was already a household name before he was AOTY. Massive derp.

Seems totally at odds as to how he is viewed by people that actually know him. They think is a top bloke.

“An absolute jet!” - Jude Bolton, not a bad bloke himself.

have heard/read very similar things ..... friendly, decent, humble and highly intelligent bloke

This government treads on its own dick weekly wearing golf shoes.

No need to bullshit to bury them - leave that to them.

wat - that is not true surely?

I should've read the comments first...

Too true, just beware the ideologues Albo.

Oh no no wrong context. I was calling Kwality a massive derp for trying to compare Grace Tame and Adam Goodes and how they will be remembered after being named AOTY.

I don't think Goodes is a derp at all.

Again, just to clarify, Kwality is a massive derp.

This is not true. I became a citizen yesterday and no how to vote card. I had to fill out a form to register with the AEC but no how to vote card.

Telling recollection from Yasmin Poole - 22, 2021 Rhodes Scholar, Martin Luther King Jnr Young Influencer of the Year, Ambassador Plan Australia, Consultant World Bank.

“When I was 20, I visited Parliament with a group of young women advocating for gender equality.

We were told we would meet Scott Morrison. We waited next to groups of school kids. He went around the circle posing with each group.

He got to us. He asked us if we support the Sharks. Awkward silence. “Guess I’m asking the wrong group,” he said.

A minute later, we stood and smiled for a photo. It felt gross. Everything felt cold, insincere.

Later, we met with Anthony Albanese. Polar opposite. We sat around a table and discussed our concerns for 30 minutes. He asked us questions and wanted to understand.

Nearing the end, I raised my hand and said “Thank you for not treating us like a photo opportunity.” I meant it.

There were no media or other politicians in that room. Just us.

Word got out that I made that comment. An hour later, I got a call telling me that a senior Liberal staffer was demanding that I write a letter of apology.

“With a signature”, they specified.

I was told it would be shown to all Liberal Ministers.

I felt cornered. So I did it. I went to my dorm room and cried.

They cared that much about one tiny comment made by a 20 year old uni student.

Refusing to worship the PM was met with tactics of humiliation and control.

With a bit of negotiation, the letter was never sent. They didn’t even care to have it. They just wanted me to write it.

I think about that moment to this day. I remember how scared and embarrassed I was. I thought I let everyone down.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg.”

That fat * Gina Rinhart getting a gong is more disrespectful to Australia day then every single protest against it.

That waste of matter has been a net drain on this nation.

There is a (big) difference between the Australia Day Honours Awards and the Australian of the Year Award both in terms of how they are determined, how they are awarded and the formal and ceremonial recognition given to recipients.

Colbeck has been the worst performance of the whole pandemic. He just simply refuses to do his job as Minister.

Literally went to the cricket for 3 days instead of attending hearings about how his negligence killed thousands of people and still is.

And the man couldn't care less, he was born to rule, not actually Govern or work.

Worse than pond scum.

Martin Foley copped grief for being on holidays when a Code Brown was declared. Colbeck has done nothing at all, just lets thousands die and would find it hard to be on holidays, because he's never done any work.

Yeah, I should've read the comment from the AEC in reply to that tweet before I posted it.

Congrats on becoming a citizen by the way!
