Play Nice Scott Morrison - How Long? Part 6 - Prosperity Theology, The Coal Man + His Bootlickers

[SSwans2011]

He's not a newly elected opposition leader hoping to scramble together a shadow cabinet and opposing for the sake of it.

He's the Prime Minister in waiting and squibbed a moment to lead.

There are about 12 people in the nation who oppose freely available RATs - 11 of them own pharmacies, and the other one is Rowan Dean.

It's a no brainer.

Taking a firm stance gives the Coalition their classic out in fairness

They're going to say that anyway!

 

[Ghost Patrol]

So on the second question, he "basically" said they should be free.

That's even worse!

Yeah, not exact words. Why don't you just watch the interview instead of throwing a tanty?

 

[Millky95]

Yeah, not exact words. Why don't you just watch the interview instead of throwing a tanty?

Saying yes with more words in a sentence is hard, I guess

 

[QuietB]

.... you posted a graph, check it out? Labour.

And you dismissed that graph with one random word pulled from IPA bingo. Go you

 

[pjcrows]

Yeah, not exact words. Why don't you just watch the interview instead of throwing a tanty?

Anything other than an unequivocal "yes" is a terrible answer.

Big difference between a couple of houses (negatively geared rentals) & 'They don't just buy a house they buy big parcels of land to build rentals. My friends and negative gearing that's what they tell me.'

With respect you dont appear to understand whatever it is they told you.

What are you on about, it's obvious what I said there was no connection between my friends and big investors they clearly aren't big investors.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

That's my point.

Wasn't in the list you gave, but perhaps it was implied.

 

[Ghost Patrol]

Anything other than an unequivocal "yes" is a terrible answer.

The entire interview gives context. You should watch it before throwing your toys out the pram.

 

[JBMAN]

Why do you keep trying to change the subject away from your claim that the people making money are usually younger or foreign? For some reason you keep talking about your mates' personal circumstances instead.

And yes, you do need Google to find some things out, because even if you were answering my question, your friends aren't the sum total of people in the nation. If my friends were all tap dancers, would it be realistic for me to extrapolate from that and say Australia is a nation with huge numbers of tap dancers?

You keep bringing up my friends.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

There's an explanation for why Albanese's response to that question wasn't an emphatic "Yes":

1. Scared of donors;
2. He's incompetent; or
3. Both

Small target attitude. He's basically going "yes it should be" in a really quiet voice.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

You keep bringing up my friends.

Okay, I see you're just trolling at this point. Have fun!

 

[JBMAN]

Okay, I see you're just trolling at this point. Have fun!

Thank f.... for small mercies.

 

[Cooldude]

So basically people are now angry with Labor for saying tests should be free, but didn't say it in the way they like

Okay

[Johnny Bananas]

Why can't you give a good faith response without resorting to insults?

 

[Johnny Bananas]

So basically people are now angry with Labor for saying tests should be free, but didn't say it in the way they like

Okay

Did he, though? He only said he had no problem with it being free. Both he and Chalmers avoided saying that a government they lead would make them free. That was a chance to take a stand and look strong on the issue, and it has been squandered.

 

[pjcrows]

So basically people are now angry with Labor for saying tests should be free, but didn't say it in the way they like

Okay

Basically, no, that's not what I'm saying.

If Albanese thought his answer(s) tonight were sufficient as part of an overall election strategy then Labor aren't winning.

 

[QuietB]

What a ****ing surprise

Morrison is to petrified to go on the ABC = free pass
Albo goes on = crucify him because his "yes" was not emphatic enough

Literally the only thing conservatives do is deflect away form their own pathetic ineptness.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Albo goes on = crucify him because his "yes" was not emphatic enough

You're exaggerating. Is Albo immune from criticism? Or is it okay if we suggest he could have made a better response?

 

[Cooldude]

What a ******* surprise

Albo goes on = crucify him because his "yes" was not emphatic enough

Literally the only thing conservatives do is deflect away form their own pathetic ineptness.

It's incredible how people are hypercritical of everything Labor does, yet the LNP can get away with literal rape in parliament and no one bats an eyelid

 

[Festerz]

He's confusing Small Target with Invisible Target.

This is not leadership. It is the equivalent of kicking backwards in defence to protect a 1 point lead with 20 minutes to run in the last quarter. Pathetic.

I'm a conservative?

 

[Festerz]

You do understand that this is a thread where the overwhelming number of posters despise Morrison and call him out constantly for his crap?

That includes me.

But I'll be buggered if I'll accept more crap just because it is a nicer hue of beige.

Simply not good enough at a time when this country is crying out for strong resolute leadership.

So to recap Shirko doesn't hold a hose and he doesn't give a rats about public health. That should be the takeaway instead of trying to pretend it is the leader of the opposition's fault.
