He probably got Josh to do the working out for him.SMH Letters today.
“Scott Morrison has finally been sworn in to the 47th parliament, having failed to attend the first sitting week. His excuse was that he accepted an invitation to attend a conference in Japan, before he knew the sitting dates of the new parliament. Section 5 of the constitution states that parliament must be convened no later than 30 days after the last date appointed for the return of the election writs. For the 2022 federal election that date was June 28. New parliaments invariably open on a Tuesday, so to meet the 30-day constitutional deadline, it was clear that the opening of parliament would be on July 26. Morrison only had to do the arithmetic to know he would be absent from the opening ceremony if he accepted the invitation.”
Awards AO to weirdo cult leader as a final act, can't think of a more fitting finale.
Yes, they do fanatical well, don't they?Japanese cults are ******* scary, Scomo must be trying to get some tips
Yes, they do fanatical well, don't they?
As Kurt Andersen put it, America finds itself in the schitte now because it’s spent half a millennium telling itself you just have to belieeeeeeve.A cult leader becoming a billionaire is something the likes of Joel Osteen can only dream of, must be an evangelical hero that Japanese dude
At least the general sentiment in Japan is that they need to crack down on cults/religious organisations, unlike the west and all that "but but it's discrimination" bullshit
Met him once to discuss affects of Defence recruitment freeze on my workplace. He listened and asked questions and actually gave a crap. He is one of the good ones.I quite like Mark Butler

'The autopsy of the Liberal Party’s election defeat continues across a swag of electorates, but few losses have been felt more acutely than the backlash caused by the Limousine Left in the Sydney seat of Wentworth.
“We were outnumbered, outsmarted, out-funded and outshone by a campaign that looked more like a movement,” say the findings of a confessional report prepared by the Wentworth federal election committee, obtained by Margin Call.
....the document is an artefact of staggering bluntness that takes aim at numerous targets, including the grossly stubborn behaviour of the Prime Minister’s office and the tin-eared confusion of campaign HQ.
As far as self-flagellation goes, it all makes for plainly obvious reading to anyone with a passing interest in NSW politics and the old-money concerns of Sydney’s eastern suburbs.
Moments of abject stupidity litter the assessment. Unable to grasp that the Liberal brand had become repellent in the once-safe seat, party officials scattered the seeds of defeat by insisting that Sharma’s campaign lean on hackneyed and pig-ignorant material devised by campaign headquarters, as well as the reviled messaging of Scott Morrison.
“Scott Morrison was the single biggest issue identified by Liberals in Wentworth for the demise of our candidate,” said the document, signed by Wentworth FEC president Sally Betts.'
Bit more honest appraisal than blaming the media.
But yeah, Kwality says don’t blame the media lol
No I did not say 'don’t blame the media' ... 'Bit more honest appraisal than blaming the media' was my comment.
Are you battling with the concept of 'honest appraisal'?
Sums up the decade in office Asleep at the wheel on the things that matter to us all
