Scott Morrison Really Needs To Learn Some Manners

[lyhargr_0]

Grabbing a woman's arm and making her shake his hand when she didnt want to do it, was NOT a good look, it's called assault   .... If he had done it to me, I would have had him charged with assault. He has NO right to do this to anyone

He also did to one of firies, he got up and walked out in disgust, cant say I blame him

He needs to learn to keep his hands to himself

Oh for goodness sake Icy, there are people out they dying or being badly burned, there are people out there who have lost everything they own, there are brave, exhausted fight fighters out there trying to put out these dreadful fires, there are country folk trying to save their homes and their stock, there a zillions of native animals being burned to death 

And YOU want to argue over TRIVIA    .......

I was under the impression from the media that when he was on holiday in Hawaii he should have been back in Australia helping. I doubt there would be many roles in fire fighting for a current Prime Minister and now it appears hand shaking at the front line can be taken off the list.

It appears being a full time ebay seller is not as hard as some jobs and whoever thought sending him there would be a good idea needs a rethink.

It was not about helping.  It was about him leaving the country while people are losing everything, some are losing their lives, millions are suffering from the heavy smoke that enveloped large parts of our country.  So he takes his family somewhere nice with clean fresh air. 

Not to mention that the LNP has spent the past few decades arguing that climate change is BS.  This disaster has been predicted by the scientists, but the LNP has sabotaged  any effort to reduce our CO2  emission, refused to pressure other countries.  Now he says it is not the time to talk about it.  So when will be the time?  When large tracts of previous farm land will be useless?

Two and a half years is a long time, chameleon. They'll forget about this by June. It never ceases to amaze me that voters ,not just here in Australia, will elect politicians who will make their lives harder. This lot though are out of their depth. A prime minister by accident who's totally incompetent and a front bench where half of them should be in orange jumpsuits.

I,m not so sure...........Up until now, you may not have liked them, but the Liberals where at least coming across as running a steady ship. People may not agree with their policies, but they knew what the Liberals stood for and knew what to expect.

In the last few weeks the Liberals have been tested in the same was Labor was tested by the financial crisis. In Labors case, they where under immense pressure, messed some stuff up and wasted some money along the way but they had their hands on the controls, and managed to wobble their way through the disaster bringing the country out the other side in a better state than most other countries.

We all understood it was helped along by Howard's surplus and while a lot of money got wasted ( Pink bats, cheques to dead people etc. ) we forgave Labor, because we understood the world was in crisis and the Labor government was doing their very best even when they where just making it up as they went along. ( and really, what else could they do ? )

The current Liberal government have looked to be in control and managing things reasonably effectively in regards to their policy agenda, but now they have REALLY been tested and frankly they have failed miserably. Not only have they been shown to be inept and out of touch, but now regardless of what they do, they only appear to be interested in saving their own political skin rather than effectively managing the crisis. Its a change in the way the public views this government and that runs much deeper than a single event.

I suspect that once again the next election is there for Labor to lose, rather than for the Liberals to win. All Labor needs to do now is get rid of the bumbling buffoon Albo and put one of their high performing woman in the drivers seat and election victory is almost guaranteed.

Whilst it might not be fake news, it's certainly slanted. And not necessarily news.

Besides what do facts have to do with news being called fake? It's fake if the person shown in a bad light says it is. That's the Donald's interpretation, anyway, and if he didn't invent the term he certainly popularised it.

if they had've said who  he was and that they knew him, instead of pretending that he was just a local calling in... it wouldn't look so bad

I guess they were trying to drum up some support for Morrison....  it worked for some

He was a local calling in, however you might like to spin it.

it was a set up, however you might like to spin it

The reason LNP got in was because they managed to scare voters with "ALP is going after your money".  It was simple message.  ALP actually had policies, which were needed; unfortunately real policies are complicated, they cannot be explained in 3 words slogans.  Just like people voted to get rid of the CO2 tax because they were told power bills will be less.  Yes, reducing our emissions would have cost us something, not as much as it is costing now, and this is just the start.  The costs of not acting will be huge.  Just look around the world; if there are no fires, there are floods, and 1/2 of the USA has been buffered by unprecedented storms for weeks now.  The best Morrison can say is "I am not going to panic"

Straight out of the NRA handbook when a massacre occurs. That's no fluke. It's where they get their ideas from.
How does Scummo avoid scrutiny? Accept
questions from friendly i.e Murdoch journalists. Get cornered by the ABC? Don't answer the question and call it gossip. Just like Trump does.
