when he speaks about Nixon in China, take a moment to appreciate the fact that Keating was an MP in the Whitlam government.
Whitlam visited during the Cold War. The Morrison government can not get anyone to pick up the phone. Or respond to a text.
heh. Direct comparisons with the US based on fact. Press gallery journos are not equipped to process this kind of talk.
“we stole the title from them”.

portraying Scott Morrison as having done “not much” is unfathomable to me. All the lives he attacked and destroyed as Minister for “Border Protection” and “Human Services” and Treasurer. The planetary collapse he advocates for as Prime Minister.

theguardian.com/australia-news…
many things Morrison does are monumentally cruel and destructive. Individuals, households, population sectors and classes of persons are worse off, more anxious, poorer, unhappier, in despair, and dead - following decisions and actions for which Morrison is directly responsible.
ministerial decisions taken by Morrison cause real life and death impacts for people, including children, who are already persecuted, struggling, dealing with unimaginable hardships. “He hadn’t done very much” is a complete mischaracterisation of his record in public life.

scientists, activists, even notionally leftist parties have toiled away in mitigating anthropogenic warming for decades, while under relentless attack from conservative forces. This conservative strolls out at a minute to midnight, claims credit, and is praised to the skies.
Malcolm Turnbull did the same on marriage equality. He did not even NOD to the decades of struggle by LGBTIQ activists and their supporters. He regularly touts the Marriage Act amendment as his achievement, his legacy.
conservatives destabilised the global economy until it collapsed, weaponised countercyclical public spending by centrist leaders - on rescuing neoliberal capitalism - and went straight back to lying about public debt to regain power and resume trashing the world for profit.

seems journalists do not know who and what is giving Turnbull and his criticisms of Morrison so much prominence ahead of the actual Opposition. Odd.
collective journalistic wisdom has landed. The narrative is that ordinary Australians - whoever we are - have no interest in or maybe do not know who is the President of France.
so funny hearing Crabb say Morrison floated the idea of not going to Glasgow in case he failed to reach an agreement with his own Coalition colleagues [paraphrased]. No, he didn’t. That was journalists. Morrison leaked that it was about doing more quarantine.

seems Morrison is too thick to be running a raffle let alone a country and setting policy on the future of the planet. “I have a lot of respect for your country, I have a lot of respect and a lot of friendship for your people” is not sledging the country or the people.
anyway no doubt #ausmedia will put his phoney macho chest thumping in the headlines, so as to maximise his chances of re-election. They love that cheap misogynist copy.
what’s the headline, skip? Scott Morrison says… Scott Morrison attempts to… here is an audio grab of Scott Morrison chest thumping and gaslighting. An abusive bully powered the usual litany of lies, fawning press gallery, and undiluted toxic masculinity.

good morning from unceded Darug lands☀️today on #Insiders are ABC 730 politics correspondent Laura Tingle, 9fax international editor Peter Hartcher and murdoch assistant economics editor Cameron Stewart. The interview is with Industry, Energy and Emissions minister Angus Taylor.
the Australian Way or climate con job? asks Speers. What does Scott Morrison want, skip? Well, he is on his way to Glasgow to “sell” [his pamphlet]. Speers describes the raging factional hatreds as the Coalition reaching a “fragile consensus”. #Insiders
“save the day”. Drink. The KPI set by Scott Morrison, which is for Scott Morrison to not be sacked by his colleagues, is quite something. The montage is dominated by clips of Scott Morrison mouthing Morrison government slogans. #Insiders
