Pt1/2 In which Scott Morrison is asked again if he's a buffoon for describing the NSW ICAC a kangaroo court, stands by his comments & proceeds to explain how state & federal jurisdictions are different. #ausvotes Pt 2/2 "I don't care if barristers & lawyers up there in Macquarie Street - I don't mean in the parliament - I mean sitting around in the barristers' chambers disagree with me." Scott Morrison has never had much truck with barristers & their jabots & all the rest of it. #ausvotes

Pt1/5 Scott Morrison still standing by Liberal candidate for Warringah, Katherine Deves, who falsely claimed children were being mutilated by gender reassignment surgery in Australia. #ausvotes Pt2/5 "I'm not a surgeon so I will rely on the chief medical officer who uses the appropriate - well I'm not the chief medical officer." Scott Morrison refuses to equate Katherine Deves' false description of gender reassignment with his continued support for her. #ausvotes

Pt1/4 "I don't accept the premise of your question." A lot of questions on the Religious Discrimination Act to follow. Basically, Scott Morrison is not implementing anything outside of the RDA. He blames Labor for it not being passed in the parliament. #ausvotes Pt2/4 Scott Morrison claims there is no evidence that any LGBTIQA+ students are being expelled. Says it's not the point that it can happen, the point is that it doesn't. Blames Labor for any deficiencies in the Sexual Discriminations Act because they wrote the laws. #ausvotes

The bond between Queensland & Victoria is much greater than we know. Qld's greatest premier was TJ Ryan. He was a Victorian. He died in office in 1921. So loved by the Qld people, funding was raised to erect this statue. There are no statues to any other Qld premiers. Queensland Premier TJ Ryan rests in Toowong cemetery in Brisbane. He was Queensland's greatest premier & the nation's greatest premier. He instigated many of the rights Australians have today. 100 years on, he is with us in these difficult times.

Pt 1/5 A train wreck in five parts. Gladys Berejiklian scoffs at Victoria as she's pressed to define essential work for the lockdown.
"Victoria did it very successfully.
"No they didn't." #nswpol #springst Pt 2/5 The media continues on the essential work definition subject. Why not suspend some government infrastructure projects to set an example for people? Gladys Berejiklian puts the responsibility back on citizens. #nswpol #springst

Pt1 of 5. "It says nothing about it telling me anything." Scott Morrison on the text message that indicated the PMO had been advised of alleged rape in 2019. Says PMC secretary investigation has been launched. #BrittanyHiggins #auspol Pt2 of 5. "I've sought to be as open and honest as I can be about this matter. I've told you everything I know about this matter." Turns to issue of culture and workplace safety in media, legal firms and elsewhere. #BrittanyHiggins #auspol

"Awh, Jesus Christ! I'm fucking Canberra bureau you dickhead!" A hot mic at today's Daniel Andrews press conference shows what Victorian journalists really think. #springst #auspol "Have you seen my job title?" Victorian journalists don't like being asked if they've done their homework. #springst #auspol

At lunchtime on March 27, national cabinet decided to enforce mandatory quarantine.Vic police didn't want to staff hotels & the then police comm understood it that private security would be used. The AFP were his 1st choice. #springst #auspol #qldpol news.com.au/world/coronavi… NSW police weren't too keen on the idea of staffing hotels either. Commissioner requested private security. That led to problems but not as severe as in Victoria. #springst #nswpol #auspol #qldpol theguardian.com/australia-news…

Alexandra Prendergast explains it was the presence of the media at the funeral that most upset her. Deb Frecklington in QT had given out the time of the funeral in her first question to the premier. Later with Ray Hadley, Scott Morrison gave out the location. #qldpol #auspol Here's that first question to the premier from Deb Frecklington where she makes public the time of the funeral. #auspol #qldpol

@DrCRowanMP has attacked @PatrickCondren for running as the Brisbane mayoral candidate in next year's Qld local council elections. Here's some stuff Australia should be aware of about the doctor of hypocrisy. #auspol #qldpol Before entering parliament, Dr Hypocrisy was the Qld AMA president during the Newman era. He advocates for Aus to return to the death penalty, a contradiction with his own profession which advocates for the preservation of all human life. #auspol #qldpol smh.com.au/healthcare/for…

The Queensland LNP's Jarrod Bleijie demands all children be detained or suspended for attending #ClimateStrike. Jarrod expects to be the Qld education minister after the next state election. #auspol #qldpol Fairly standard sort of response for the Qld LNP. If you are familiar with #qldpol, you'll be 😆 or 🙄 at Newman's failed A-G. If not, Google "Jarrod Bleijie article clerk". Would be a really bad choice for the care of Qld school children. #ClimateStrike #auspol

With thanks to @davidbewart. I've been trying to warn everyone about Adani for years. No one listens to me. One from 2014 #qldpol #auspol People keep sending me stuff about Adani which I already know. Where were you when I flagged this same stuff under Newman? #qldpol #auspol
