I wouldn't trust Morrison to get lawnmower blades from Bunnings. Pyne was tied up with all the Bottom of the Harbour stuff and even sweet Sophie Mirabella. What could ever go wrong?    A. Bot wanted Jap Ones because their little ones were so good in Sydney Harbour  during WW2.   IF you had a bit of COMPETANCE you'd be LONELY .  Nev

"Sweet" Sophie Mirabella?  *shudder*

[old man emu]

ScoMo scores big with his backflip with twist from the high moral ground.

 

[willedoo]

I suppose you can't knock Scotty for his beliefs. Like the one where he believes the 'evil one' is doing bad things on social media. But now he has a disbelief. He doesn't believe he has ever told a lie in public life. That would make him a very rare politician. They should mint a special medal for this bloke.

He has immediately disqualified himself for life as a politician, if he has never lied. The primary test for becoming a politician is the ability to tell a bare-faced lie, and make it sound like Godzone Truth.

[facthunter]

Why ask a  proven liar if he lies?. Today, everything you've done is on record.. Nev

[old man emu]

They are not lies. They were statement of the facts as they stood at that moment in time, and with the passage of time, experience has tended to alter the facts. It's only a lie if I don't abandon the earlier fact in favour of the current one. 

[facthunter]

Surely you jest?  Nev

[willedoo]

As much as I don't particularly care for too much more Scotty FM buffoonery, I fear that soon we will have to put up with another three years of his shite. I don't think having Albo slap him with a wet handkerchief will harm his electoral prospects significantly. Or in other words, I think we're stuck with the dickhead.

This confused nomadpete. I would have thought that by now he would be fluent in Newspeak.

 

The word "Newspeak" is sometimes used in contemporary political debate as an allegation that one tries to introduce new meanings of words to suit one's agenda.

Sad, but highly probable.. This is one time, I think we would be happy for Lizzy to take over... and steer the ship to calmer waters

I know what 'newspaeak ' is.

OME your explanation just seemed too convoluted for me.

Now, however, after the application of 750mL of à nice red, I am still no closer to understanding.

Modern politics is beyond me.

[Jerry_Atrick]

I think, in honesty, it is probably beyond most if us!

Jeepers. Neil Mitchell was old when I was 25.. He doesn't sound a day older..

 

Interesting clip

I was just trying to be a politician. If I have bamboozled you with what I said, then I've met one of the criteria to be a politician.  Now I'm just nicking down to Bunnings to get a white board so I can do some policy planning.

[Jerry_Atrick]

I really like this bloke...

From the news today.

"Prime Minister Scott Morrison laid his idea out most clearly in a speech to the Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry last week: “[Climate change] will be fixed painstakingly, step by step, by the entrepreneurs, by scientists, by technologists, by innovators, by industrialists, by financiers, by risk-takers. That’s the Australian way.”

The modelling subsequently released on Friday did not even pretend that this approach will achieve net-zero emissions: It gets us to 85 per cent, after which the great spirit of technology will carry us the rest of the way to 100 per cent net zero on a golden staircase of innovation.

I well remember when we were told that technology would make nuclear power safe. I even have friends who believe that it is safe now, but our government will not consider producing electricity from anything other than coal.

The reliance of technology to reduce our emissions does not stack up with what has happened with nuclear. PMT knows that but as usual he has done a lot of talking but said damn all. That is the only way he can hide the lies.

If we are stuck with him after the next election, the lies will come thicker and faster. Don't forget belief is the thing. If he believes it, then it is true. Never trust anyone who is into religion, it just proves that they are not clear thinkers, but only want to pull the wool over your eyes.

Problem Albo who doesn't know his arse from his Albo isn't up to putting forward a sensible argument against the LNP.

What about that Member from Melbourne, Julian Hill? He's a Labor lad and doesn't seem to back away from calling ScoMo for what he is.

[facthunter]

Yenn if you read only Murdoch $#1t you will know Nothing  REAL about people like Albanese. Murdoch has all the media north of the Tweed.. Nev

[Marty_d]

Albo is solid but boring.  That's why he won't win next year, the voting sheep seem to like flashy liars with no substance better than the opposite.

[facthunter]

You only know what you have been allowed to know. Everything is filtered shopped and manipulated, Or "invisibled"  You get VIEWS not news.  and even bare faced LIES. Nev

[Yenn]

I don't only read murdoch news, but I read it because we have to know what the enemy is saying.

Problem is that when you look into what PMT says you see that he says very little. It is mainly platitudes and Bullshit, bundled up to sound as if he is really saying something.
