hearing Perrottet is considering giving public money to business which gasp will distort the market and also calling his handouts “investment” even tho there is no ROI to the public who pay for it.
the most salient fact about charlatans like Morrison and Perrottet, apart from their economic illiteracy, is how they happily personally trouser hundreds of thousands of public dollars in salary while destroying public institutions like universal health and social security.
the Morrison government is “letting the market develop” so a Morrison government-funded agency is investigating price gouging.
Who knew.
the price gouging profiteering “market” does not need Morison government permission to “develop” lmao do they even economics (no)

stump speech. He is angry about reporting of facts on the ground - in legacy media and on social media.
re-set comms, because polling results, which - unlike people dying - tend to focus the Morrison mind.
his government will “ensure our conomy can push through”.

I don’t want to upset anyone but if “civil unrest” flows from deporting [tennis player], it has no legal bearing on the spurious nonsense Hawke offered in his “reasons” for visa cancellation, which he was not legally obliged to provide.
press gallery journalists: hmm is this political?
Morrison government minister:
every “sacrifice” - like the many preventable deaths, just as Coalition immigration policy settings deliberately destroy human lives - is being squandered by laziness, targeted maladministration, and the hopeless incompetence of the Morrison government *right now*

if he is genuinely astonished, Crowe is neither qualified nor competent to cover federal politics. If he is faux astonished, the bias is off the scale. Image
this kind of performative wide-eyed faux naivety is so obnoxious in highly paid professionals. Morrison is a rashly destructive political leader and his inordinate appetite for cruelty has been widely documented, in the public domain, for over a decade.

probably explains why Morrison started losing his cool when asked about allocation of federal government RATs procurement.
part 2 of 2 here. Both tweets have multiple replies describing similar experiences, people saying they were emailed about “emergency” requisition of their RAT orders, imposed on suppliers by the federal government.
Morrison was conspicuously agitated when asked about allocation of RATs procured by the federal government. My guess is the “emergency” designation is legally regulated and defined and he has stretched it to retroactively cover for incompetence.

“emergency services and that includes law enforcement and corrective services” - Scott Morrison.
ten per cent is a pretty low estimate of infected and isolating workers but moving on. Morrison is blaming the extremely high transmission rates on infectiousness. Disruption to workforces are inevible.
mask is off hur hur on why he is so aggressive about schools being open. Schools open means shops open, he says. Schools open means health care workers. His decisions are based on keeping Australians at work, says Scott.

segue to interview with Sydney Festival chair is clip of Sara Saleh asking that the Festival not accept funding from Israel to artwash its atrocities.
The chair opens with a tory trope: taking the Israeli cash is “typical” and the festival has “always done it”.
Sydney Festival chair is very sorry that artists have been “pressured” into withdrawing and this is something they “never want to see again”. He is talking about the success of the boycott campaign.
the line cuts out. Hamish puts the Q as to whether the Festival enjoys the support of artists. The chair - whose line is breaking up - says the artists have been put in a “compromised” position. Not says: the Festival accepting $20K from Israel caused this “compromise”.
