“the Labor Party has a plan to legislate” - prime minister Scott Morrison on the federal opposition.
this pilot election campaign launch is “a whole of ecanomy plan”. Sounds like Liberal Party polling is showing that their economic management lies still, despite all evidence to the contrary, are believed. Thanks, corporate media.
we’re gunna chieve [bodgy targets set by land-clearing accounting tricks]!! shouts Morrison. Today is about the plan, we’ll release the modelling later, he says.
foreign leader name-drop. Always a tell.
he is doing the same thing here as with the vaccine rollout, claims Morrison. Sounds like vax failure rollout polling has turned a corner, hence the launch today.
having said he will not release any modelling, Morrison claims he is “focusing on the how”. No journalist will attempt to square that circle.
handouts to the regions are “investing”. Drink. “We are past the by when and the if and now that we’re into the how” (sic) says Morrison.
it is all about who do you trust and that’s what it’s all about at the end of the day says Morrison, channeling Howard.
he calls internal Coalition hatreds “a mark of authenticity”. Shouts plan a few more times. Remember he not 5 minutes ago implied that Labor *passing legislation* is a bad thing. He, Morrison, announcing a plan is the superior governance - a legal and logical impossibility.
like ministers telling journalists that corrupt vote-buying is just politicians making and keeping promises, Morrison is pitching his vast failures and the Coalition parties catastrophic climate vandalism as success. With a co-operative media, this should work - it has so far.
we are at beached blow fish super-gulping motor-mouth stage of the presser.
regular reminder that Liberal and National Party politicians prioritise salving their voters’ consciences over the future of humanity. All this is designed to tell Coalition voters they are not gigantic fuckwits.
“we are not starting at the start” - Scott Morrison.
“states and territories environmental laws” drink.
Jane Norman, one of the entire generation of journalists who have no concept of Labor government economic management credentials at all, opens ABC News coverage by repeating, verbatim, what Morrison said - without attributing the words to Morrison.
