Play Nice Scott Morrison in the Multiverse of Ministries.

[HairyO]

Worst Finance, health &energy minister to go with worst PM of all time.

He killed a gas project. Surely greenies would be in favour of that?

He isn't PM anymore, you don't need to be like the stranded Japanese soldiers after WWII and keep fighting for a war that ended years ago.

No need to keep running defenses for Scomo/Libs like you did during COVID and do petty whataboutisms

 

[Sun Ra]

Pretty sure the GG handed over swearing in duties to Scomo's QAnon mate to do the honours ?

 

[BigTacoBandit]

Isn't "day to day politics" the job of being an MP? Now he doesn't even want to do that.

Except he did it to try & save seats from Teals & Greens. Not because he gives a s**t about the environment. Would have done the exact opposite if that was the way to keep government.

I voted Labor. I dont need to defend anyone. I just find it interesting that the mining lobby told him to kill the gas project (or so was claimed further up the page).

Didn't engage in it when he was in the job either

Like the worst kind of control freaks, he needs to get his hand in every cookie jar, without any actual competence and skill, so he inevitably *s things up, but then blame shifts to others because he cannot ever be wrong

Then he has to go back to controlling everything because narcissistic ego, and rinse repeat vicious cycle

If you have ever worked with a religious person who gets some control in a company this description is exactly what they tend to be like.

Malignant control freaks/narcissists gravitate towards religion because the god in their religions are also control freaks, it is an environment that suits them

Also has an access to easy victims they can play their tricks on

What we know about Scott Morrison secretly appointing himself to three ministries during the COVID-19 pandemic

Governor-General David Hurley has confirmed that former prime minister Scott Morrison was appointed to additional portfolios during the COVID-19 pandemic. Here's what we know.

Morrison's multiplying minister trick puts the 'I' in team

There's a school of thought that suggests Scott Morrison had no need for a cabinet room, let alone ministers to sit at the table alongside him, writes political correspondent Brett Worthington.

Good chance it was an onshore gas extractor who happened to be a Lib donor who got the project of a competitor killed who happened to donate only to the Nats.

 

[Festerz]

So we go from being too relaxed during crises to revelations he was working too hard?! What does it take to please you people??

I assume this is satire.

But in the off chance it isn't (or is assumed not to be by others), let's make it clear what happened here:

Of course by keeping these Ministerial self appointments secret, even from his own Cabinet and agencies, Morrison was ensuring he didn't have to do any work at all in the extra portfolios he took on at all. It just meant that that he had executive powers and responsibilities that no one else knew about.

He could (theoretically) act in his own, or others, self interest without anyone knowing. And that includes supporting the passage through Cabinet of legislation without identifying a conflict of interest (and therefore abstaining from voting) as required under Cabinet protocols.

This undermines the very principle of Ministerial accountability that underpins our Westminster system of Government where protocols and standards of behaviour of Ministers of the Crown are every bit as important as the wording of the Constitution itself.

Sneaky chance he's going to appoint himself as coach of Essendon next year?

Does coaching Essendon involve doing bugger all except taking credit for wins & blaming someone else for the losses?

Fair point, he's their next list manager

Unmasked: McKenzie's shopping trip to remember with new partner

Nationals senator Bridget McKenzie sent the Twittersphere into overdrive on Tuesday after she was photographed in a regional Victorian hardware store alongside an unidentified male.

Im surprised they stand in line for anything..

 

[Hornberger]

The GG must be sacked. It is completely unacceptable to have allowed himself to have complicit in the scheme.

He should have either written to parliament to advising of the appointments, or refused the PM request to make the appointments in secret and resigned in protest. It is complete bullshit to hid behind the line that he was merely following "instructions of the government of the day" and it was a "normal process". Having Minsters being appointed in secret is completely unprecedented and a massive breach of constitutional convention.

 

[Chief]

Pursue them both for corruption.

$18 mil.

******* hell.

What kind of charity would Hurley be qualified to run, happy clappers for endless war?

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

So Hurley is not much better than Kerr? What a slippery dodgy man.
