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

the timing of this brisbane christian school story is interesting ... very interesting indeed

Me thinks PVO knew he was about to get the digit up the date from the PMO and went in hard first with some info he had

 

[pjcrows]

It was a close election that was won on preferences.

Plenty of people did reject Morrison and plenty didn't reject Shorten. The reverse is also true.

Labor should have won comfortably based on the Government's ineptness. If the people wanted to throw them out they had every opportunity to do so. Ultimately a big enough group of people rejected Shorten.

 

[Juddism]

It’s not f’n Payne.

Dutton?

Or ex PM or ex MP?

 

[madmug]

Still waiting and while you are at it perhaps explain the trillion dollar debt.





That $35 mug he and Josh were selling is useless now.

I think its absolutely priceless now.

I'm the first to admit I'm very naive, but how the fu** can neither major party take a step back for a second and think about the political points they can score from this? What % of the population would agree that it's a stupid rule? 99.9%? Who cares if it's an independent body's decision? Legislate against it. Simple.

For Albanese to shrug it off when asked about it yesterday made me want to throw the remote at the TV. Surely the PMO could have put their heads together and say, "Albo's missed a trick, let's buy some votes and announce a policy scrapping it at the Press Club". While it would be a pretty easy thing to do, it would absolutely put Albanese on the back foot; something which Morrison is struggling to do at the moment.

There are myriad policies one votes on, but freaking Albanese can fu** off with his attitude to this. Both from a moral standpoint and a political one.

Thought it was a shoe in to kick off running a campaign based on integrity. Trick missed

Gladys has no recollection and she can't check her phone because Christian Porter's son wiped it after Daryl Maguire ran over it with a tractor.

 

[Cooldude]

I can't, I just can't stand that ****ing smirk

The guy is like a Marvel villain

 

[Juddism]

Cabinet Minister!!!
Highly doubtful it is readily identifiable.

Could be just saying it's a cabinet minister...could be anyone.

 

[Maggie5]

Seems a lot of people don't smile around Scomo, no idea why.

 

[Rotayjay]

Haha - good observations.

the main thingthat strikes about these populist leaders (using the examples of Trump, Johnson and Morrison) is that for all of their near constant injecting themselves presence in the news cycles in public life, the general public overall has even less sense of who they really are, and really not many people would care to know either. They are very, very unusual people - it takes full-time facade and role-playing to pass off as being human - and even then its not remotely convincing to anyone paying attention.

Take Morrison for example, I still have no sense of who he is, really. He's not someone that I can imagine having authentic interactions with other people. As he supposedly said himself ''I'm transactional'' - that in itself displays an almost comical, and certainly inhuman, lack of self-awareness. This daggy dad persona is another example, selfies making curry, even the comments surrounding Brittany Higgins ''Jen told me you have to think of this as if they were your daughters'' (it seems very questionable his wife actually said this) but regardless, Morrison's lack of self-awareness in thinking it was a wise reflection reinforces someone who is straining to be human - but he just doesn't have it in him.

Morrison is very much who Hannah Arendt had in mind when she wrote about the ''banality of evil''. He allows monstrous things to happen on his watch, but he's never really been the ringleader. He's a joiner - a shallow, clueless bureaucrat. A carrier out of orders. And not a leader in any sense.

The only extent or position which appears to motivate him to do anything is his religious belief. And this makes him even more inscrutable to me. Although the one thing in Turnbull's memoir about Morrison which I think truly shed some light on him was how Turnbull recalled Morrison as being ''inconsolable'' after the gay marriage plebiscite result and how Morrison's own electorate had voted in favour of it and Morrison ''didn't recognise the country he grew up in anymore''.

Which leads to the other damaging thing about Morrison, is that inhabits a world very far in the past. He's not even in the present, and it shows. The world is changing very quickly, even moreso in the past three years with the pandemic. And at every single stage Morrison has been flat-footed, dragging his feet. Looking back and wishing it was 2019 again, or to some time well before then when marriage was solely the institutional between a man and a women. He lacks absolutely any imagination beyond his own personal ambition - they all do - Trump, Johnson etc. Complete empty shells masquerading as strong men.

Trump got voted out (for now). Hopefully Johnson and Morrison will follow in the months to come.

I refuse to ever vote for the LNP again until these inner city ********ers stop wearing mole skins and blue shirts.

 

[Rotayjay]

I'm actually beginning to feel bad for him... that was like watching an AFL team get hammered. Who would want to go into politics.

Nah **** him. He has done untold harm to Australia, so it's time that Australia harms Morrison by humiliating him at the election.

 

[sherb]

It’s almost as if he’s completely unfit for the role.

As though he possesses absolutely no skills, experience, qualifications or judgment that would make him able to do the job.

As though his being in the role is a result of absolutely nothing but deception, bullshit, backstabbing, back scratching and a totally poisonous party culture.

It feels like that.

He's pretty much everything an MP (and by extension, a PM) shouldn't be.

From pre-selection onwards.

Morrison’s peak was that Vic’s add. Mainly because he didn’t talk.

Channel 10 said current cabinet minister. PVO is a campaignersack, but he'll be on the money on this.

Can probably narrow it down rather easily.

• Cross out the Nats, they have a terrible relationship with Gladys.
• Then Scummos cronies and fellow happy clappers.
• Look for those with relationships with Gladys, likely from NSW.

Will be left with 2-3 names, then it's pick out those with an axe to grind or capital to gain. Payne and Fletcher are good bets imo.

payne, fletcher ..... long shot coleman (altho hes been on extended leave - and only an assistant minister)

 

[kranky al]

Yup, always possible to lose from a winning position.

I do think that more people might be getting a little tired of The Scott Morrison Show. He's not exactly an unknown entity as was the case in 2019.

I hope albo and the team dont start doing powerstances…

 

[DaRick]

The people didn't endorse Morrison in 2019 - they rejected Shorten.

Morrison's effect on the vote was close to neutral, but slightly negative - Shorten's was clearly negative.

I think the opposite will occur this time. Albo comes across as more genuine than Shorten and is really too milquetoast to inspire particularly negative feelings in people. ScoMo...not so much.

 

[Magruder]

She is a moderate. This isnt about her chasing the leadership role (she might have to do something in public which she is terrified of), this is about power in the NSW branch and being able to influence Scomo replacement.

On SM-G570F using BigFooty.com mobile app

you may also see some sub factional manoeuvring within the NSW religious right.

Albo for me has to address the rub+tug rumour first. If its untrue /exaggerated - fine, just say that.

You have issues - seek help

This is pathetic… in your mind, Albanese needs to address an unsubstantiated and likely made up rumour before Morrison has to answer for actual verifiable failures of leadership.

You’ve taken ‘but Laybah’ to new heights, kudos to you.

I'm talking about general public perception, not about some noodle incident (pun intended) that not many people actually know anything about.
