Hey @David_Speers

I hear you've come down with an bad case of selective amnesia, for some reason you seem to think @ScottMorrisonMP has had a 'good' year?

I've created a brief reminder of Morrison's 2020 Fuck-Ups in an Advent Calendar just for you
🐝
#auspol #insiders
Day 1: January

Morrison sparks protests calling for his sacking around Australia. Angry Australians are not happy with him going to Hawaii while Australia burned.

Remember you called it a 'misstep' Dave?

Morrison visits Cobargo
🐝
#auspol #insiders
Day 2: February

Bridget McKenzie resigns after weeks of Morrison defending her, the #Sportsrorts scandal is traced all the way back to the Prime Minister's office.

🐝

Day 3: March

Morrison announces 'bespoke' arrangements for cruise ships under the control of Border Force on March 15.

March 19 the #RubyPrincess docked in Circular Quay, 2800 ppl got off the ship & spread COVID across the country
🐝

abc.net.au/news/2020-03-1…
Day 4: April

Morrison threatens aged care homes to open up or the Commonwealth will get involved.

Morrison never created a COVID plan for aged care.

This failure led to hundreds of deaths in aged care.
🐝

abc.net.au/news/2020-04-2…
April gets two tweets in this thread bcuz the other big thing that happened this month was Foreign Minister Marise Payne appeared on #insiders

PM wanted her to announce something, so he said "pick a fight with China, that'll do"

So she did.
🐝
#auspol
abc.net.au/news/2020-04-1…
Day 5: May

Morrison accepts responsibility for a $60 billion #JobKeeper bungle.

Largest Treasury error in Australian history!

PM refused to use the unexpected windfall to extend #JobKeeper to The Arts sector, universities, casuals
🐝
#auspol #insiders
abc.net.au/news/2020-05-2…
Day 6: June

Morrison demands borders open up.

He undermined State & Territory leaders constantly, he wanted to 'snapback'.

He later took credit for the States' & Territories' world-leading success in controlling COVID.
🐝
#auspol #insiders
smh.com.au/politics/feder…
Day 7: July

Morrison sparks outrage as he shuts down Parliament while demanding everyone else return to work.

It didn't go down well.
🐝
#auspol #insiders
thenewdaily.com.au/news/politics/…
Day 8: August

When asked at a Senate inquiry, Aged Care Minister Senator Richard Colbeck didn't know how many ppl had died in aged care.

Morrison supported him.

Did I mention that Morrison never created a COVID aged care plan?
🐝
#auspol #insiders
theguardian.com/australia-news…
Day 9: September

Did I mention Morrison undermining the States?

Morrison bullies QLD Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, who was following the health advice, something Morrison had been saying for months that all Australians had to do.
🐝
#auspol #insiders
abc.net.au/news/2020-09-1…
Day 10: October

Morrison promises to get #strandedAussies home by Christmas.

He failed.
🐝
#auspol #insiders
abc.net.au/news/2020-10-2…
Day 11: November

#Robodebt class action settles out-of-court for $1.2 billion.

Morrison again supports his Ministers, no one was sacked, probably bcuz Morrison was the architect of the illegal scheme.
🐝
#auspol #insiders
abc.net.au/news/2020-11-1…
Day 12: December

Morrison is livid Boris Johnson snubbed him by failing to give him a speaking gig at UK Climate Summit even tho PM said he'd announce he won't cheat with carryover credits

Oh, how the international community laughed
🐝

There ya go @David_Speers, does that refresh your memory?

I wouldn't call it a 'good' year for Morrison by any stretch of the imagination but then I'm not a big fancy-arse journo like you

I do have a better memory than you though

Merry Christmas Speersy🎄

So, I've been having a squizz at the latest politicians' expenses claims

Not sure if you've noticed the glaring anomaly but I did @ipeaAusGov

You might want to take a second look at @senator_sam's expense claims, particularly her 'Travel Allowance'
🐝
#auspol #qt
I noticed @senator_sam claimed travel allowance for 98 nights July-Sept qtr

Bit odd given there's only 91 days in the July-September quarter! (Then I worked out she back-dated some travel allowance expenses)

Total claimed $24,676 for travel allowance for the qtr
🐝
#auspol #qt
Sometimes it's a bit hard with Senators, they're usually all over the state, committees & lots of things, so I thought I'd compare Senator Sam with all the other senators.

Yep, just as I thought, no other Senator came within cooee of Senator Sam

Topped the list

Hey @D_LittleproudMP, Minister for Agriculture & MP for Maranoa

Mind if I ask you a few questions about pests & weeds?

I've been having a squiz at the $25,341,828 in pest & weed grants the Dept of Agriculture has been handing out for the last couple of yrs

🐝
#auspol #insiders
Now Dave, on the Dept of Agriculture website it says Australia has a 'widespread' problem with pests & weeds, right?

Even has maps to show where the weed & pest problems are.
🐝
#auspol #Insiders
A search on Grant Connect for: "Communities Combating Pest and Weed Impacts During Drought - Biosecurity Management of Pest & Weed" revealed 96 records

24 were amendments, leaving 72 grants for pest & weed management under a variety of titles worth $25+ mill

For those ppl following the #sportsrorts scandal - Phil Gaetjens is appearing now before the Senate Select Committee into the Administration of Sports Grants

You can watch live here: aph.gov.au/news_and_event…

🐝
#auspol
Phil Gaetjens has just confirmed to #sportsrorts inquiry that he didn't check if Bridget McKenzie acted lawfully- he says it wasn't his job (it was)- says it was Attorney General's (but the AG didn't check McKenzie was acting lawfully)

He says he saw no need to check

Discussing proper use of caretaker conventions at #sportsrorts inquiry & $40 million being approved AFTER caretaker

Hey @MathiasCormann @JoshFrydenberg

Did you two do the figures for #JobTrainer?

I'm just asking bcuz they don't add up.

Let's take a closer look at what @ScottMorrisonMP & @SenatorCash announced today.

🐝
#auspol
$2 billion #JobTrainer announcement was split into two parts:

Part 1
$1.5 billion to subsidize 180K apprentices until March 2021

Part 2
Commonwealth training commitment of $500 million + this amount will be matched by the states $500 million = $1 billion in total

🐝
#auspol
Let's look at Part 1:
$1.5 billion subsidies for 180K apprentices

PM's media release states business will receive "up to $7000 per quarter"

Sept 2020 to March 2021= 2 qtrs (or $14K per apprentice)

180K x $14K = $2.52 billion

($1 billion more than PM's announcement)

Hey @sussanley

Today you announced another $200 million for recycling

I've got a few questions for you....just want to make sure I've got my facts right.

This announcement was made at The Pact Group, right?
Here's a pic of you, Trevor Evans & Sanjay Dayal at Pact
🐝
#auspol
Now, is that the same Pact Group that recorded a shock $320 million half-year loss in Feb 2019?

What's their annual report looking like this year?

Where are PACT getting the hundreds of millions of dollars from for this investment?
🐝
#auspol
smh.com.au/business/compa…
Is it also the same Pact Group whose Executive Chairman Raphael Geminder was seen at a Liberal Party fundraiser in in March 2019 with Josh Frydenberg & Greg Hunt?

Good morning #auspol

I thought I’d have a squizz at the University qualifications of federal MPs/Senators to see how many went to Uni and how many did a BA or Humanities degree

Just for shits & giggles to see how many got to choose what they wanted to do at Uni

🧵
🐝
#insiders
I also wanted to dispel the myth that a BA doesn't help you get a job.

(spoiler alert of my results here)

If a BA doesn't help you get a job, why did more than two-thirds of gainfully-employed federal politicians do a BA then?🤔
🐝
#auspol #insiders
I’ve done a breakdown so everyone can see the facts

My spreadsheet is colour-coded to indicate political party & any BA/Humanities degrees are highlighted in Yellow/Light Orange
