Onya Scotty!
crises during his term, including the COVID pandemic and Black Summer bushfires.
My favourite moment during your heroic handling of the bushfires was when you tried to shake that firefighter's hand and he said "No! I don't want to shake your hand" so you lurked around behind him and said "HOwZ THe CUPPA!!!!"
We should all leave our soiled pants out for Scotty tonight.
I know I'm commenting from different country, but the following quote by a judge in Australia is always worth keeping in the back of your head if you manage to get let off a serious crime...
Having escaped the lion’s den, Mr Lehrmann made the mistake of coming back for his hat
That was a line said by a judge in Australia during his conclusion of a very high profile rape case.
The story,
Bruce Lehrmann faced charges of rape. This case was very big in Australia because the rape occurred in an office at Parliament House and the government covered it up because there was an election coming up.
The criminal trial was abandoned because the case was having a very detrimental effect on the victim's mental health.
Later, Bruce Lehrmann sued a number of journalists for defamation... And lost... So now Bruce Lehrmann is forever branded a rapist. The judge delivered the above quote during his final decision.
Every former prime minister had a lot of great things to say about Antony Green except Morrison who used a lot of words to say absolutely nothing.
He said Antony was a professional 3 times. I knew a guy who was a church minister and he talked a lot, but never really said much because he said everything 3 times. I think they teach them that at church... Tell them what you will say, tell it to them and then tell them what you just said.
There's plenty of time for Rupert and the drop-kicks at the IPA to come up with a new strategy. Dunno if they will ever come up with anything as successful as they did in 2013, though
I wonder how Gina is handling the news tonight
Oh good! Antony had his computer working again
"I won't mention pre-poll because people ARE drinking when I say 'pre poll'"
Fucking LOL
A solid concession speech. Can't imagine such a speech coming from any of the Liberal party's leaders over the last decade.
Jeez, remember Malcolm Turnbull having a drunken tantrum on election night and threatening to send the AFP after the Labor party... That was his ACCEPTANCE speech.
Eat shit, Dutton. What a shit campaign those idiots ran
an average of 10 truckloads — each containing 28,000 litres — per week
That's around 1.5 megalitres per year. A much lower number than I was expecting, by a couple of orders of magnitude. Absolutely should be paying for it, though. It's not a world changing amount of water, but it shouldn't be given out freely, especially to such a wasteful use.
It's much worse than that. the holiday in Hawaii was a lie. He was in NY for the opening of a new church.
Instead of giving a statement to the press saying "Sorry, I'm in New York for an event with my church. I'll be on the first plane home" the Government pretended he hadn't left the country and he made a stopover in Hawaii on the way home so photos could be "leaked" of him "being a dad and spending time with his kids during the school holidays".
The Australian public were having none of it.
Very few people would have a problem if he went with the actual truth of "Sorry, I'm in New York for an event with my church. I'll be on the first plane home" but hey, liars gotta lie!
