Media are neglecting to hold the LNP to account for their horrendous record in government - of doing nothing constructive, while doing loads that’s destructive, and being corrupt AF

Can we compile “talking points” media outlets should raise every day?

I’ll start 🧵

When vaccination was absolutely key, and after promising we were “at the front of the queue”, we Morrison used his “It’s not a race” sound bite

.. to cover for the fact that he didn’t order vaccines

What’s with that?

Barnaby charged us $675,00 on top of his salary for 3 weeks work as “drought envoy”

The LNP is systematically dismantling Medicare

They are doing all of that and worse

What’s with that?

Stuart Robert accumulated $38,000 in excess data charges for his home internet

What’s with that?

We pay extraordinary amounts of money for offshore detention of asylum seekers on Nauru - approaching $2 billion now

What’s with that? It doesn’t cost that much to detain people. Where does the money go? Who has become wealthy as a result?
#auspol #LNPCorruptionParty
The LNP want to put all recipients of support on the Indue card

What’s with that?
#auspol #LNPCorruptionParty

Media is the problem 🧵

We have a PM who:
- was sacked from his last 2 jobs
- lost preselection resoundingly, but ended up with it by threatening to ruin someone’s life
- has his own side describing him as the most horrible person
- does literally nothing but cosplay
- has a …
- has a list of rorts and scandals that would take it’s own thread to describe, including but not limited to:

Watergate
Sports rorts
JobKeeper
Missing subs
Car parks
Reef
Robodebt
Gerry’s RATs
Tudge
Porter
Barnaby
Prayer room

.. and so on

Any one of these could sink a gov ..
But on top of this, Morrison:
- would not meet with women at #March4Justice, but said they should consider themselves lucky they weren’t being shot
- supported alleged rapists and those accused of sexual abuse
- backgrounded against victims of alleged rape

Trump: Ok boys, I’ve got an election to win, and nothing helps an incumdenant more than a good disaster

Boris: “Incumdenant”? .. Oh, I see

Trump: Sooo, anyway, what we need to do is let this thing get bad, real bad. Rupert totally thinks it is a wonderful idea .. the best ever
Boris: Umm, so sorry to interrupt sir, but won’t that involve lots of our people dying?

Trump: Totally ... sniff

Anyway, as I was saying, we need this to get bad. It will be great. We pretend we didn't know, let it get bad, then we blame China and Who and we look like heroes
Trump: So we need to:

Do nothing - don't prepare
Say it's just like the flu
Say everyone needs to get it. I dunno, talk about herd imnoonitwy ...... imnoonitee .. for 2 weeks
Don't close airports to white people till they make you

You there Peter? You haven't said anything

I, like many, have been trying to figure out what #CoronaMo is up to

What could possibly be his motivation for doing all the things he has done/not done, that were the opposite of what they should have been?

A thread: a theory, but I hope I’m wrong.
All the:
- ignoring the warnings from overseas
- ignoring expert advice
- having his own “experts”
- encouraging crowds to gather one last time
- not screening at airports
- insisting schools stay fully open
- feds intervening to allow cruise ship passengers off
It all seemed nonsensical. Surely he couldn’t be that incompetent?

Many of us rationalised that it must then be his religious beliefs to blame

What else could make someone so irrational?

And then the suspension of parliament happened.

Why is this an issue?
