I know many are steering clear of Scott’s puff piece on #60Mins.
I’ll live tweet a couple of his best quotes.
I’ll live tweet a couple of his best quotes.
On increasingly unflattering opinion polls:
“Statistics are like a lamp post to a drunken man - more for leaning on than illumination.”
“Statistics are like a lamp post to a drunken man - more for leaning on than illumination.”
On declining public sentiment:
“You have to accept that some days you’re the pigeon and some days you’re the statue.”
“You have to accept that some days you’re the pigeon and some days you’re the statue.”
On knifing Malcolm Turnbull:
“You have to be 100% behind someone before you can stab them in the back.”
“You have to be 100% behind someone before you can stab them in the back.”
On the thankless task of being prime minister:
“You think you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but it’s only some bugger with a torch bringing you more work!”
“You think you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but it’s only some bugger with a torch bringing you more work!”
On being PM:
“I can wake up one morning and go, ‘I don’t feel like working today. Can I stay in bed?’
‘You’d better ask the boss.’
‘Scott, can I stay in bed?’ ‘Yes, Scott.’
Both me. Not me in bed with another bloke called Scott.”
“I can wake up one morning and go, ‘I don’t feel like working today. Can I stay in bed?’
‘You’d better ask the boss.’
‘Scott, can I stay in bed?’ ‘Yes, Scott.’
Both me. Not me in bed with another bloke called Scott.”
On whether he is popular within his party:
“I suppose I’ve created an atmosphere where I’m a friend first and a boss second. Probably an entertainer third.”
“I suppose I’ve created an atmosphere where I’m a friend first and a boss second. Probably an entertainer third.”
On the past 12 months:
“If you want the rainbow, you’ve got to put up with the rain. Do you know which ‘philosopher’ said that? Dolly Parton. And people say she’s just a big pair of tits.”
“If you want the rainbow, you’ve got to put up with the rain. Do you know which ‘philosopher’ said that? Dolly Parton. And people say she’s just a big pair of tits.”
Now Jen™️ has chimed in. What does she wish people knew about Scott?
Jen: “Eagles may soar high, but weasels don’t get sucked into jet engines.”

Short musical interlude and interview’s over. Thanks for following!
