LRT Hartcher is calling it right, but he missed the opportunity to point out a common feature of Turnbull’s and Morrison’s submarine announcements - both were election campaign stops. Turnbull went on to lose 16 seats.
net loss in 2016 was 14 seats. The National Party won a single seat, and the Turnbull government was saved by Julia Banks winning Chisholm for the Liberal Party. Banks was then driven out of parliament by the wave of misogynist bullying when Morrison ousted Turnbull.
and contrary to what some press gallery gulls claim, Morrison stabbed Turnbull on purpose. Deliberately. Exactly the same MO he used to move into Treasury when Turnbull ousted Abbott. Nobody wakes up one day to discover they are prime minister. That is ludicrous illogic.
classic Morrison. This is how he treats everyone. Colleagues, global leaders, the Australian public, the NZ Aotearoa tourism industry, everyone.

good morning from unceded Darug lands☀️today on #Insiders are Guardian politics corro Amy Remeikis, 9fax economics editor John Tahoe and 9fax international editor Peter Hartcher. The interview is with Morrison government chief spinmeister and Finance Minister Simon Birmingham.
opening spiel is “going nuclear”, correctly pronounced; and “greater reliance on the US”. #Insiders
editorialising. We have been “watching economic coercion for years”, apparently. And have “sent a message to Beijing” too. Goodness. I thought the China trade restrictions on us began under Morrison? #Insiders

by characterising it as a blind trust, he is telling everyone that the political donation is an investment vehicle for his donor/s.
hey remember when Tony Abbott set up an anonymised trust to fund legal actions against Pauline Hanson.

in case #Insiders forgets to devote as much time to catastrophic failures by the NSW government as it did to a speech by the Queensland premier last week, a brief overview: Berejiklian has lost control of the people in eastern Sydney and of the virus in western Sydney.
good morning from unceded Darug lands☀️today on #Insiders are former Liberal Party staffer and 9fax columnist Niki Savva; Ch 10 co-host and columnist Waleed Aly; Guardian politics corro Sarah Martin.
Interview is with shadow minister for education and for women, Tanya Plibersek.
opening spiel: NSW unveils it’s plan to re-open. It is “high stakes” - for some - and the prime minister is cheering the premier on. Other states are anxious. #Insiders

Q: why are people dying of covid at home without being diagnosed?
Hazzard: there are people in large households who want (sic) to go on earning income.
exactly no detail on how to access your become support. The state and federal governments have set up income supports, says Hazzard, and defaults back to blaming people on low incomes in large households.
the NSW government, which has completely failed to control this outbreak, is essentially accusing low income workers in large households of killing their family members by providing for their families.

“many were surprised by her decision” goodness where is that devotion to conflict journalism now.
please do not link me to the newscorp headline. I have seen that clickbait. It will evaporate inside 24 hours.
I had no idea polling shows that approval of Berejiklian is below 50% but fondly* recall lengthy journalistic discussion about a pandemic incumbency dividend when Labor Premiers Palasczuzk and McGowan romped back in and Liberal Party Premier Gutwein just scraped back.

the re-opening of NSW is being run by a woman who does not distinguish essential retail outlets from entertainment venues.
it is her personal choice not to associate with anyone who is not fully vaccinated, which is a thing wealthy people in wealthy areas with unessential jobs can do so that’s nice for her.
handouts to business from the good people of NSW are being touted again today. These are direct vote-buying measures for the Liberal Party base. Meanwhile, the life-saving measures of test-and-isolate payments and ambulance fee waivers for covid patients are NEVER EVER mentioned.
