Scotty from Marketing is addressing the Press Club today. I wonder what kind of bluster and bullshit he has in store for us? #npc #auspol
First things first, the PM has apparently put a brown rinse through his fringe on his month off work
Exhibit A #npc 
Joshy from Finance and Greg the Hunt are nodding along adoringly in the crowd as ScoMo explains that we don’t need vaccines in a timely manner because we dealt with Covid so well. For some reason he’s coined the term ‘sovereign vaccine’. #npc
I’m thoroughly enjoying the camera zooming in on his ministers’ faces as he exaggerates about the job they’ve done.
“We’ve bought Australians home.” Camera pans to @MarisePayne. Her eyes drop to the floor before she recovers and nods along sagely. #npc
“We’ve bought Australians home.” Camera pans to @MarisePayne. Her eyes drop to the floor before she recovers and nods along sagely. #npc
And alongside the “sovereign vaccine” he’s now banging on about Australia’s “sovereign interests”. Nice little dog-whistle for his racist fans, i assume? #npc
And now he’s smirking and laughing about the trade mess with China under Birmingham’s watch. Jokes that Dan Tehan will come in and fix everything up. (I have pot plants with more intelligence and diplomatic nous than Dan Tehan.) #npc
And a quick, dismissive reference to climate change without actually mentioning the words climate change. No doubt deliberate. #npc
And Slowmo smirks, blusters and jokes about @latingle’s valid question about the govt spending millions on an advertising campaign to build trust in the vaccine, when the likes of Craig Kelly and others in his gov are actively spreading disinformation abt Covid and vaccines #npc
Jokes that Craig Kelly isn’t his doctor, and pauses to allow the room to erupt. Some in the room reward him with a hearty laugh. #npc
Oh lord now he’s bragging that Microsoft is feeling confident about the prospect of Google leaving the Australian market. “I spoke to Satya [Nadella] the other day,” he snickers. [I’m pretty sure he pronounced his name wrong for good meausure.] #npc
And finally a serious answer, to a question re big businesses rorting JobKeeper, from Mark Riley: “I’m not into politics, Mark.” #npc
