Scott Morrison ‘an Absolute Arsehole’ says former Liberal Party Justice Minister
Former Justice Minister Michael Keenan, who served under Scott Morrison once slammed the PM as an “absolute arsehole”.
The startling revelation is published in a new book Plots and Prayers by Insiders panelist and political commentator extraordinare Niki Savva.
According to Savva, the frank character assessment was offered up by Keenan during a meeting between Finance Minister Mathias Cormann, Attorney-General Christian Porter and Morrison’s chief ally Ben Morton in the midst of the leadership furore that led to the party dumping Malcolm Turnbull.
Porter joined in, saying he did not think Morrison was “a team player.”
Cormann said he had seen Morrison up close now, and, in his opinion, “Dutton was better.”
FOR CHRIST’S SAKE!
The book also reveals that Morrison and his fellow Pentecostal believer Stuart Robert, prayed that “righteousness would exalt the nation,” in the minutes before Mr Morrison was made prime minister by the Liberal party room.
Morrison also asked his receptionist to text his wife to ask that “his family pray for him” as he headed into a prayer session with Mr Robert.
“We prayed that righteousness would exalt the nation … righteousness would mean the right person had won,” Mr Robert told Savva.
THE LORD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS
Stuart Robert is now the Minister for the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
IT’S A MIRACLE!
The book also reveals Mr Morrison described his May 18 election win as a “miracle” and that he texted deputy Liberal leader and Treasurer Josh Frydenberg the night before to say the result was “in God’s hands” and that “I believe in miracles.”
The book also reveals Malcolm Turnbull ignored warnings from key allies about Peter Dutton and Mathias Cormann.
Former attorney-general George Brandis told Mr Turnbull early in 2017:
“For God’s sake, can’t you see this guy is stalking you?”
But Turnbull scoffed at the suggestion saying:
“Don’t be ridiculous, George. As if Dutton is capable of being prime minister.”

FOR CHRIST’S SAKE!
I think that comments going to get a lot of use over the next three years
I read somewhere the title of the book was going to be something like “How knifing Malcolm destroyed the Coalitions chances of winning the next election” or something like that. So she had to come up with a new title
That’s actually pretty funny Neil.. 🙂

<i.should be funny to watch the left oriented types defending all those multinational corporations!
Not sure why defending anybodies right not to be abused is amusing, but there you have it.
but there you have it.
What you have… if the ARU win (as you wish) there will be a legal precedent that a common law employment contract will supersede the legislated employment protections, that should be interesting as companies write their reviewed code of conduct and polices into employment contracts. Some companies might use policies such as –
* Being connected to their customer demographic
* Being a “family oriented” company
* Expecting work attendance to be a significant priority regardless of personal circumstances
Allowing companies and individuals to out of protected employment conditions will have ramifications beyond Folau and the ARU
“We don’t need a new party, we need a leader with guts.”
First you need to find Setka a safe seat.
“Not sure why defending anybodies right not to be abused is amusing, but there you have it.”
Folau didn’t abuse anyone but he copped truckloads from the haters.
will supersede the legislated employment protections
It’s legislated that employees are able to victimise groups?
Folau didn’t abuse anyone but he copped truckloads from the haters.
Then why did he get so many warnings about ……….. abusing people?
First you need to find Setka a safe seat.
I’d prefer he just ran. Can you imagine the shit load of abuse the papers would be running then?
Or do you prefer parachuting, like downers unelectable offspring is about to get?
“I’d prefer he just ran.”
Probably better – like Hawke did in Wills. Parachuting isn’t pretty but not much about politics is.
“Then why did he get so many warnings about ……….. abusing people?”
Haters gonna hate!

Yea, so let’s enshrine it in law, under the guise of religious freedoms
Enjoying your imputation credits are you ?
Yes I am. I’ve just been adding up my dividend statements and the franking credits will be quite healthy this year, what with the BHP and Woolworths buybacks and special dividends.

No… it’s just that you said he’d been given a warning for “abuse”. And I think that’s probably incorrect. So I’m only asking whether you have any evidence that he’s been given a warning for abuse
He was warned for doing precisely what he went ahead and did again. And then he cried about the outcome.
Do you think a common law employment contract supersedes legislated employment protections?
I know that not abusing people, religiously or not, should take precedence.

The great Philip Adams is 80 and still going strong.
This is from a piece on him at the ABC website:
“Before joining the ABC, Adams had a few stints on commercial radio, including a memorable show on 3AW in Melbourne when an interview with author Alan Marshall, who was wheelchair-bound after suffering polio as a child, strayed into a conversation about the need for sex workers to satisfy the desires of people with disabilities.
“You can imagine what a shocking idea this was at the time when this kind of candour was unusual,” recalls Adams.
“I said to Alan we should call it ‘feels on wheels’ and we both had a great laugh.
“When I went off-air, the station manager was standing outside the studio and said we’ve had 600 phone calls of complaint, it’s an all-time record.
“I said sorry about that, then he smiled and said it’s wonderful and I think on that day I was accidentally involved in the birth of shock-jockery.”

Also, there’s credible intelligence that some heretical ‘Spirit deniers’ are positing that the ‘miracle’ of inerrant empirical reality is at least incommensurable, if not utterly incompatible, with (sub)plots’n’prayers dominionism(s); and, consequently, that has real-world consequence(s)…for…the (Quietly-Australian) (im)potency of (Loud’n’Proud) public (prayer) policy(ies).

…having a fucking domestic argument
…denying Personal freedoms to everyone
1. It’s a domestic argument that resulted in a criminal conviction, rather at the extreme end of a disagreement, even for a thug with a criminal record
2. Are you suggesting that it’s a “personal freedom” to engage in misogynistic and criminal abuse?
It’s a domestic argument that resulted in a criminal conviction

Yes; that would (have) be(en) John Howard’s Bali Process’s cooperative regional processing and resettlement model, which John ‘Children Overboard’ Howard abandoned in favour of the Pacific (non-)Final (non-)Solution; only for Rudd and Gillard to return to the Bali Process, subsequently blocked, in the Senate, by unknown parties, on the regional bit, and the pent-up processing and resettlement demands of irregular migrations bits, implied by a ‘quota’ responsive to real-world conditions and to John Winston’s cumulative default(s); or, in other words, the backlog(s) of stocks could have been cleared, by now, and the flows better managed, if Australia, and everyone else, processed and resettled their fair shares; which, for comparatively ‘generous’ Australia, was circa 60 000 displaced persons per annum; how does that compare with past/present(ed) policies? Ditto, there’s precisely no need for the draconian ‘gulag’ detention schema; which also wasn’t envisaged, by either the original, or the revived, Bali Process(es), which supposed relatively-rapid preliminary processings and communities detentions, with relevant and reasonably-resourced supports; but, is, apparently, and, also, isn’t a key selling point of the LNP’s buff(ed)-up), (para-)militarised, concentration-camp(s)-esque(, (non-)UNHCR-endorsed) approach to already-traumatised, and now further-traumatised, (non-)persons.)

https://www.afr.com/news/policy/industrial-relations/cfmeu-leader-john-setka-considering-legal-action-over-failed-boral-blackmail-case-20180516-h10569
The arrest should never have happened and this government must take responsibility.
Setka was tracked from the minute he and his young family left home. Tracked while he ordered coffees for the adults and babycinos for Kate, now six; and Johnny, five. Followed through the markets for three hours. Followed and then pulled over by two unmarked police cars, lights flashing. When the police emerged from the cars, Setka says they had shoulder holsters and canisters strapped to their sides.

Emma Walters insists her husband John Setka was never violent towards her despite “stomach turning” allegations the CFMMEU union boss threw an iPad at her face during a heated argument.
The claims, contained in an affidavit that was leaked to the media against her wishes

It’s quite obvious the victim wasn’t their core concern isn’t it?
And I hope, if albo continues down his path, he inflicts pain on the party. Not Setka, but albo, who went off half cocked, and played straight into the ‘tories’ hands.
He’s piss weak. Talks big, but acts small.
So his wife made a complaint but didn’t leak it… ok. He threw a heavy object at her face but isn’t violent… ok
He has 60 convictions… and the police are interested in him… ok.
All very persuasive that he’s a great union leader.
All I know about the Setka thing is he was charged with an offence and pleaded guilty.
Those are indisputable facts. Talk of ‘targeting’ is just speculation. Setka’s apparent determination to fight his expulsion should provide plenty of laughs, though.
He threw a heavy object at her face
Stop telling lies yomm, the story specifically says that’s bullshit.
Those are indisputable facts. Talk of ‘targeting’ is just speculation.
‘Speculate’ on these indisputable facts
• He has had his phone tapped by the police, for years
• He has been accused of multiple crimes, which he was found not guilty of
• He was arrested, in front of his children, after being tailed for hours, for another ‘crime’ he was found not guilty of
• Hi ‘Wrap” sheet consists mainly of him breaking unjust ir laws defending workers rights and safety.
• He has had his name slandered, as yomm just did again, for years.
Those are indisputable facts
Hi ‘Wrap” sheet consists mainly of him breaking unjust ir laws defending workers rights and safety.”
Yes, yes, I know Sally McManus says you don’t need to obey laws if you think they’re unjust. So does that mean I don’t have to pay my speeding fine because I think it is unjust revenue raising?
Somehow I don’t think that’s how the rule of law works.
Of course!! Everyone who feels a commitment to a cause finishes up with convictions for assault by kicking, assaulting police and wilful trespass.
So does that mean I don’t have to pay my speeding fine because I think it is unjust revenue raising?
Since there is a direct link between speeding and fatalities, then that’s a hard one for you argue.
Since there is a direct link between the introduction of unfair ir laws and worker deaths, mines an easy argument 😉

If you were under the delusion that the great global warming scam-artists were really concerned about climate change Saikat Chakrabarti (AOC’s chief of staff and puppet master) sets you straight:
“The interesting thing about the Green New Deal,” he said, “is it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all.” Ricketts greeted this startling notion with an attentive poker face. “Do you guys think of it as a climate thing?” Chakrabarti continued. “Because we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing.”
A bit like Roz Ward admitting that the anti-bullying campaign she was implementing was really not about stopping bullying.
“Setka’s apparent determination to fight his expulsion should provide plenty of laughs, though.”
This is true. It’s great* for the Union movement too.
*not really
“And I hope, if albo continues down his path, he inflicts pain on the party. Not Setka, but albo, who went off half cocked, and played straight into the ‘tories’ hands.”
Some of us might think that this is a good thing or at least have a big guffaw about it.
The bottom line is that even if Setka is a vioent volatile pig of a man, he has delivered for his members and it is perfectly understandable that they would want to keep him as their leader. Further, given that unions control the ALP, it may be more difficult than first thought to expel Setka.
An ALP expulsion of Setka would be an affront to his union’s membership. In that case the ALP should not be surprised if the considerable human and financial forces of the CFMMEU are deployed against the ALP (and Albo) in particular at the next election.
Of course, if Albo loses this stoush his credibility as leader is shot. He should then resign for the good of his party.
*not really
nope
and albo has played a great game for the opposing team
friggin fighting tories lol
What if I think I pay an unjust amount of taxes? It should be my right to pay (what I deem to be) the just amount.
“albo has played a great game for the opposing team”
Indeed.
As much as I like Albo, I don’t think he’s got what it takes to defeat FauxMo.
They should’ve gone with Jim Chalmers.
“What if I think I pay an unjust amount of taxes? It should be my right to pay (what I deem to be) the just amount.”
Finally, an idea I can lend my support to.
What if I think I pay an unjust amount of taxes?
yea, I noticed they just changed the laws for that.
Prepare for Stage 4

given that unions control the ALP…
The ALP should be hauled before some tribunal for false advertising!! They should be called –
“The CFMMEU (Political Party Division) trading as ” the Australian Labor Party”
