Is this Australia’s Most Dangerous Man?
Forget about Alan Jones, or Andrew Bolt, or even Rupert Murdoch. Australia’s most prominent mainstream psychopath masquerading as some sort of “”authority figure,” has to be, without any shadow of a doubt, Federal Opposition Immigration Spokesman Scott Morrison.
Not content with insisting that boats carrying asylum seekers should be shunned from Australia with their rickety boats turned around by the Australian Navy to face an uncertain fate, the controversial Liberal MP is now insisting that SAS forces be deployed to stem the flow of asylum seekers arriving from Indonesia.
Anyone within earshot of Mr Morrison’s hyperventilating rants on mainstream media could be forgiven for thinking that we are in the midst of some sort of national emergency. The reality couldn’t be further from the truth, but then Morrison has form when it comes to whipping up hysteria over asylum seekers.
In February of last year, Morrison sought to instil fear into the hearts of parents across Australia warning that asylum seekers could be carrying communicable diseases which could be contracted inadvertently by good clean-living middle-class white Australian kids.
The inconvenient fact that that asylum seekers who arrive in Australia face medical examinations before being released into the community didn’t interfere with Morrison’s determination to spread fear and hatred.
Twelve months later, Morrison once again singled out asylum seekers for scrutiny insisting that local authorities (the Police) and communities (neighbours) should be informed whenever asylum seekers are released into the community.
Morrison insisted that “these arrivals” (heaven forbid we should call them “people”) should be subjected to special standards of behaviour.
In broader society these “standards” are generally known as “the law”.
If this is the level of hyperventilating these clowns are exercising in Opposition can you imagine what they’d be capable of in Government?

Scott is a member of the Shire/Life Christian church in Sutherland, Sydney. TA has described him as a ‘great talent’.
I was listening to an interview with Morrison earlier. He sounded rattled.
No wonder, in the space of a week and a half his party has gone from an expected 100 seats, with a thumping majority, to about 72.
If the SAS suggestion doesn’t work, I’m expecting Morrison to announce-
*Snipers on the cliffs at Christmas Island
*Boiling oil
In response to the outrageous government policy of prohibiting work for years, Morrison will announce – no eating for 5 years.
They are longing for another Tampa. They must be rattled. I am surprised at the extent.
I don’t think all this SAS thing will go down well now that Rudd has planted the seed of fear about conflict with Indonesia.
If the SAS suggestion doesn’t work, I’m expecting Morrison to announce-
*Snipers on the cliffs at Christmas Island
*Boiling oil
*firing squad with aussie haters invited to pull the trigger.
ridicularse, how could anyone vote for that mob of DHs?
You are jokin’!
$622,000 difference!
Isn’t Slipper in court over $900 in disputed travel expenses ?
Yeah,
Buried in the fine print “includes fitouts”
Usual Leftist BS
Probably includes new gym shoes too, Wally …
How much were the “fitouts” … and what were they for?
“How much were the “fitouts” … and what were they for?”
We’ll probably never know because it would destroy the “story”.
However it does highlight the stupid way government’s account for expenditure by including fitouts in administration expenses.
what are fitouts?
“Isn’t Slipper in court over $900 in disputed travel expenses ?’
Yes
He was apparently given the opportunity to pay it back or it would go to the AFP.
He chose not to.
Isn’t Slipper in court over $900 in disputed travel expenses ?
yeps, apparently ‘a person of mystery’ made a complaint directly to the AFP which is the excuse being given for AFP action on slipper and non-action on abbott and every other politician who is allowed to repay ‘mistaken’ monies [the minchin protocol].
“what are fitouts?”
Renovations of offices and the like…
We’ll probably never know because it would destroy the “story”.
?????????????????????? Who’s ‘story” ……
BTW, where’s your evidence link?
Renovations of offices and the like…
Yeah, thanks, sreb, I knew that I should have been more specific … bit like someone else 😉
Tony Abbott and his extravagant expenses:
http://www.phonytonyabbott.com/blog/tony-abbott-and-his-extravagant-expenses
So, how does Tony Abbott, the man who campaigned at the 2010 Federal Election with a slogan of “We will end the waste” end up spending close to three times the amount of public money as the Prime Minister in six months?
The big expenses for Tony Abbott are his Office Administrative Costs and Office Facilities expenses.
But how does Tony Abbott justify his Office Administrative Costs of $202, 065.73 compared to Julia Gillard’s of $8,241.60 (that’s more than twenty-four times Julia Gillard’s expenses)?
Or how does Tony Abbott justify his Office Facilities expenses of $159,177.11 compared to Julia Gillard’s of $40,245.34 (almost four times Julia Gillard’s expenses)?
“We will stop the waste”?
Not while Tony Abbott is the Opposition Leader (or worse, Prime Minister).
Okay, so, perhaps these were just one off expenses?
No…
Oops, realised you were replying to Di … sorry … I have a good reason for but I can’t remember what it was … 😉
“what are fitouts?”
TB at Lowes
He was apparently given the opportunity to pay it back or it would go to the AFP.
Er, my understanding is that was Abbott … Slipper was not given the asme opportunity! A “mysterious someone” simply reported Slipper to the AFP … protocol now means that they have to investigate … and as turned out charge him … double standards all round …
Now these fitouts – sure they are not a figment?
He was apparently given the opportunity to pay it back or it would go to the AFP.
He chose not to.
BS, he volunteered to pay it back immediately and Finance refused.
A familiar AFP smell over Slipper and #Ashby:
http://nofibs.com.au/2013/07/04/a-familiar-afp-smell-over-slipper-and-ashby/
…But sources say Finance refused to allow him to do this. Instead, they said that — because the AFP was interested, they would not follow the protocol.
Why did they make such an exception in Slipper’s case?
Many politicians and their staffers claim too much for their cab fares. There is an example below involving Coalition MP Sophie Mirabella.
All those pollies repay — and they don’t get referred to the police.
So, Finance has made an exception for Slipper, despite the fact that the AFP investigation began because of a false and malicious allegation by Ashby…
Bloody hell! I think the link, KL, has provided blows the “fitout” theory a bit … although I would like to know what the $202,000 is actually FOR!
There is a figure of $126K with scant detail but a reference to Photo services for 2010 election of 76K alone. Very selective just to take a single 6 month period and highlight it.
What about we look at Julia in the earlier Quarter ?
But then again that might wreck the Lefties argument…………cant do that
“BS, he volunteered to pay it back immediately and Finance refused.”
Oh……………….so Murdoch has a plant inside Penny Wong’s Office…………
.
………………Oh OK !
“… although I would like to know what the $202,000 is actually FOR!”
This is looking like Abbott’s Office putting in claims later than the period they relate to. 2010 election expenses in the Period 1 January to 30 June 2011 ??????
Duh……………election was in August 2010
This is looking like …
BUT is it? If they can’t run a bloody office … how do they run a country? Especially with Hockey and Robb … neither of them very bright and both telling different tales! Add Abbott and you don’t get three versions – you get three faery tales …

Just be careful what you wish for in the Federal Election … this is just a taste we are experiencing in Queensland …
The Age survey had roughly a 50/50 cut on whether to turn boats back or not.
Is the Ord Camp the only rational answer?
But when asked by journos, abbott immediately denied the accusation
Tony Abbott denies wrongly claiming expenses from 2009 book tour:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/jul/08/tony-abbott-book-tour-expenses?CMP=twt_gu
…When asked at a press conference on Monday morning if he had wrongly claimed travel expenses while promoting Battlelines, Abbott replied: “No, I did not.”
He did not elaborate on the answer before taking the next question and ended the press conference after answering questions from two other journalists on the press club debate and the potential timing of the election…
according to tony, if its resolved, it never happened.
conservative hypocrisy = justifying and excusing own dishonesty and behaviours whilst simultaneously attacking and vilifying others.
“BUT is it?”
Who knows ?
If you are going to analyse some expenses you need to drill down a lot more than this fluff piece tweet.
A period of 6 months can have all sorts of timing difference. And you dont know “If they can’t run a bloody office”.
Who knows what protocols the APS requires before agreeing to pay them (therefore including them in a later period) ?
“according to tony, if its resolved, it never happened”
EXACTLY!
And it’s not the first time…
Tony has form in lying. Like when he lied about meeting with George Pell..
Then when they get caught out, their response is “well so what?”
They seem to demand far higher standards of honesty and integrity in others than they are capable of demonstrating themselves.
But that does tend to be a typical dog-botherer trait I’ve come to realise….
And then there are all the claims for TAs TA whilst he’s competing in sports/social events.
No expenses spared – or explained:
http://www.theage.com.au/national/no-expenses-spared–or-explained-20120116-1q3ai.html#ixzz2YKDPy7Ab
…Mr Abbott was paid about $590,000 in entitlements for the first half of 2011, according to the report, and Ms Roxon claimed about $190,500 for the same period.
But for the first time, the Finance Department has also published a ”name and shame” list of the politicians who have failed to examine the bill they ran up and check it off against their own accounts…
…A 2009-2010 Auditor-General’s report pointed out weaknesses in the self-certification system, including the fact that compliance by parliamentarians was voluntary.
Queensland Labor senator Claire Moore raised the issue in Senate Estimates and both she and Senator Faulkner advocated greater accountability.
She said each parliamentary office was like a small business with allocations for expenses, for which the member or senator was accountable, as a small business person would be…
But where did this lie come from?
Yes
He was apparently given the opportunity to pay it back or it would go to the AFP.
He chose not to.
As usual KL if we look at all Parliamentary Members expenses in different periods you can accuse every single one of them of rorting but thats tooooooooooooooooooo inconvenient for you
January to June 2010.
Look at ALPs David Bradbury

Seems the Finance Department had had a gutful of Slipper………..
”Mr Slipper knew that he was not entitled to use the Cabcharge card to pay for the hire car fare, but he did so,” the description of offences says. The former speaker – who resigned from the position last October – allegedly used the card by filling in and signing four Cabcharge dockets instead of one.
”He filled in the trip details on the dockets by showing false information,” including the pick up and put down locations and the amount of the fare.
The documents further allege that Mr Slipper travelled to wineries again in April and June 2010.

Oh you and your so-called facts TB… 🙂
Stats from 2007 and 2008 ?
WTF
“News.com.au explains 10 boat-people myths.”
How did that get in the Hate Media?
“Myth 7: People from WAR TORN* countries cause problems
REALITY: According to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship, the number of settlers – people entitled to permanent residence, including people arriving in Australia on humanitarian programs – between July 2010 and June 2011 came from more than 200 countries and totalled 127,460.
Most were born in one of the following four countries:
• New Zealand (20.2 per cent)
• China (11.5 per cent)
• United Kingdom (8.6 per cent)
• India (8.3 per cent)…………….”
Excuse me but since when have New Zealand………..China………………the UK…………………….or India been held up as examples of “wartorn countries” ?
* My emphasis
“Indonesia’s president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has indicated towing boats back into Indonesian waters is not an option”
Where did he say that ?
Good stats … especially the numbers flying in.
Tampa, when something old is new again.
A workable boat policy is going to be hard to formulate, but I’m not sure the answer is in the past.
Pollies are lost on the briny looking for policies.

Oh you and your so-called facts TB…
Yeah, I know … I was a bit hesitant for 0.00000005 second ’cause it reminded me of a certain furry Farnham poster, from way back … hope its not too long but ya can’t just post a bit of it …
I just get sick and tired of the BS … especially the fkn emails from my “friends”!
especially the fkn emails from my “friends
Really? What’s that about? I don’t think I’ve received any!
I don’t think I’ve received any!
Obviously you don’t have any friends, ToM … cheer up we all luv you we just don’t have your email address … 🙂
“especially the fkn emails from my “friends”!”
I get those too… Incredibly racist emails from my so-called “friends” who think I’m somehow going to get a laugh out of vilifying asylum seekers…
I get those too…
In a way its subliminal incrimination … when I was young and more stipid I didn’t believe that my “friends” actually believe the BS … but these days I know they do … In fact oddly enough most of the people I know these days are tories … when I was younger they were Labor … and that included my business mentor and at least three managers I worked closely with …
How times (and relationships I guess) change with time …
I’ve been stipid for a long time now … 😯
I get those too… Incredibly racist emails from my so-called “friends” who think I’m somehow going to get a laugh out of vilifying asylum seekers…
Mine stopped when I did a ‘reply to all’ and told them all what I thought of them along with some expletives. Some huffy replies came back to me and some ‘what about the children who read your reply’ guilt laden stuff. I replied again and told them that I thought seeing their disgusting emails was more harmful to kids than a few swear words that they would hear on TV every day and shame on them for such ignorant racist/hate views anyway.
Is there another grech type mole in finance and/or AFP? the [mafia like tentacles of the liberal party seem to run through every government organisation in the country]. Or, did the referral come from lib HQ ?Qld LNP who are feral. Who is being protected?
Still, it’s dirtbag stuff isn’t it, abuse of our legal systems to kneecap political opponents? So typical of liberal party operations though. Why can’ they try to govern through legitimate means eg offer up publicly acceptable policies.
http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-national/questions-over-slipper-car-refund-offer-20130110-2cikp.html
…Who asked the Australian Federal Police to investigate Peter Slipper’s 2010 travel claims?
It’s an intriguing little question, because Slipper has been singled out for prosecution and the public has not been told why…
…A finance department spokesman said: “The department does not publicly comment on interactions between it and individual senators and members in relation to their entitlements.”
However, the Minchin protocol did not apply where an allegation was referred directly to the AFP, the spokesman said…
“Mine stopped when I did a ‘reply to all’ and told them all what I thought of them along with some expletives.”
Luv it…! I’m going to do that next time!
Luv it…! I’m going to do that next time!
Think carefully reb, bear in mind it might strain or even break some friendships. I figured I didn’t need or want friends like that.
It’s ok AO, I didn’t earn the nickname “reb” for nuthin’ you know…! 😉
Unlike me reb, you could probably come up with something witty, you know, one of those very clever highbrow replies where the receiver isn’t sure if they’ve been insulted or not!
Notice abbott’s on 7:30 report tonight – perhaps a planned PR exercise after a quick damage control huddle with peta credlin? 😉
“one of those very clever highbrow replies where the receiver isn’t sure if they’ve been insulted or not!”
LOL! I do enjoy those… It’s all in the delivery you know…. 😉
I think we have a lot in common Kittylitter, not putting up with BS and telling people how it is regardless of the consequences….
All I will say about Morrison without stating my reasons for have absolutely no respect or complete disdain of this faux christian bully, is look at why he was sacked from tourism Australia and ask “where the bloody hell is he now”, his great claim to failure. He is a low intellect bully boy with Emotional intelligence of a pea.
“He is a low intellect bully boy with Emotional intelligence of a pea.”
With the greatest of respect, I think that’s a little offensive to peas, who are actually quite nice….
‘who are actually quite nice….’ and sweet.
“He is a low intellect bully boy with Emotional intelligence of a pea.”
I agree, there should be a political party for people like this. Conroy, Swan, Emerson, Abetz, Mirabella, Truss, Bishop snr could all join.
But then the group would probably form government.
LOL @ ToM… 😆
So true!!! 😆
This is how Morrison won preselection…
‘Michael Towke, a Lebanese Christian from the right faction, won. Four days later, amid allegations of branch stacking, Towke became the victim of a smear campaign, with a series of damaging personal stories leaked to the Daily Telegraph (after mounting a legal fight, News Limited offered him an out-of-court settlement).
‘There were dark mutterings, as well, that a Lebanese Australian could never win a seat that had recently witnessed the Cronulla riot.
‘The upshot of the smear campaign was that the NSW state executive refused to endorse Towke’s nomination, and demanded a second ballot. The beneficiary was Scott Morrison, a cleanskin in the factional fight, who was parachuted in as a unity candidate.
‘So it is a mistake to presume Morrison is simply an ideal Sutherland Shire man. Local party members initially rejected him, partly because he was considered insufficiently right wing.’
Nick Bryant / The Monthly
“he was considered insufficiently right wing”
😯
Egg I have been surfing at Cronulla for 38 years and I can assure you Scott Morrison is no more shire than a Galargenbone pie. He is a eastern suburbs bully, who was basically blacklisted in marketing because he was impossible to work with, burnt his board. He is also ex Hillsong, a loudmouth, know it all, unworldly and a complete lowbrow uncultured tosser. The right and christian dead shits in Libs in NSW were branch stacking to get control and Morrison was right in the middle. He is a liar and not to be trusted. He actually fancy’s himself a PM… and that is the state of Aussie politics.
I’m not disagreeing Ricky, the man should be removed from his portfolio.

TONY EASTLEY: Retired Vice Admiral Chris Ritchie was Chief of Navy between 2002 and 2005.
Interviewing Retired Admiral Chris Ritchie
TONY EASTLEY: Admiral Ritchie, how difficult is it for Navy people to undertake a turn-back operation?
CHRIS RITCHIE: A turn-back operation as it was practised in 2001 is a hazardous, risky task because of the nature of the people that you’re dealing with. They’re people who are intent on getting to Australia and you’re trying to turn them back from Australia.
But nevertheless it’s a legitimate Navy operation. It’s something that Navy’s have done over centuries. And in that sense, if the government gives a direction to do it, then Navy people will do it and they’ll do it well.
TONY EASTLEY: Were you able to liaise much with the Indonesian Navy or authorities on these issues?
CHRIS RITCHIE: At the operational level we didn’t talk to the Indonesians, but that was done in Canberra through the appropriate authorities.
TONY EASTLEY: So you take the boat back and just leave it there, do you, or do you actually take it to a port?
CHRIS RITCHIE: We would take it back and we would observe it from below the horizon, if you like, on radar and things like that.
TONY EASTLEY: What guarantee was it that it was going to continue the way it was headed, and that was back to Indonesian waters? What was to stop it coming back again?
CHRIS RITCHIE: We took the fuel out of it so that it couldn’t come back again.
TONY EASTLEY: Why did the practice stop when it did?
CHRIS RITCHIE: No more boats came.
TONY EASTLEY: None at all?
CHRIS RITCHIE: None at all. None at all.
TONY EASTLEY: If that same model of returning boats was to be reinstituted today, do you think it would still work?
CHRIS RITCHIE: If the conditions were replicated, it could still work.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-07-05/retired-vice-admiral-says-boats-can-be-turned-back/4801254
If the conditions were replicated …
People who live in the past, never see the future …
“CHRIS RITCHIE: We took the fuel out of it so that it couldn’t come back again”
So if they all drowned, wouldn’t that constitute culpable manslaughter…?
Yes Reb I was struck by that remark too. What if a sudden unpredicted storm carried a little cork of a boat miles off course. Interesting to note that Pope Francis has just visited Lampedusa Island where African asylum seekers reach Italian territory. He threw a wreath into the sea and said that we had lost our sorrow for these unfortunates, particularly those who drown.
‘People who live in the past, never see the future …’
That is simply not true.

They are discussing everything except the weather.
“… then the political tide turns and … ?”
If they’d stayed with Gillard the polls were never going to move much. There was always going to be a sugar hit with Rudd.
But they still wont win with just 38% of the Primary. Especially with some pollsters saying the Greens vote has already drifted back to the ALP ,The Kev Young Folk Effect, and could get as low as 5%. Unlikely though I’d admit. Probably 8 or 9%.
Where are your ALP heros going to get their 2PP from ?
All the published polls do the distribution on an historical basis that’s why the ALP gets over 50% 2PP. The Other Left Parties (i.e. Greens) are not going to capture as big a Primary this time around.
Katter and Palmer are going to be the Alternatives to LNP or ALP and their preferences will leak heavily to the LNP.
The ALP needs a Primary with a 4 in front of it and at least a 2 after the 4.
“They are discussing everything except the weather.”
