Scott Morrison call to Police Chief another example of Peak Smuggery
Angus Taylor enjoys Question Time in Parliament
Scott Morrison never expected to become Prime Minister but he’s quickly settled into the role as if it’s his god-given right.
In the midst of an AFP investigation into one of his own ministers, someone with a bit of skin in the game would keep a safe distance from the controversy and offer some excuse along the lines of “allowing the law to take its course,” “inappropriate to make any comment while investigations are still underway.” That sort of thing.
Heck, back in the day, a minister facing such allegations would step aside while the investigations proceeded until a final conclusion, but not so in the Morrison government.
No, Scott Morrison simply picks up the phone for a neighbourly chat with the New South Wales Police Commissioner Mick Fuller ostensibly to uncover where there’s any truth to the allegations.
The fact that this didn’t even occur to Morrison as improper is just further evidence of his ineptitude in the top job.
Even his former mate (remember his loyalty: “I’m ambitious for him”) Malcom Turnbull took to the airwaves to state that “he wouldn’t have made that call.”
Morrison, by his sheer ignorance and stupidity has compromised the position of the NSW Police Commissioner and pinned himself to the mast of that other moron Angus Taylor.
I guess this is what happens when he’s clinging on to government with the slimmest of majorities but it’s the rest of us who suffer.
We deserve better than this shambolic shit pile of a so-called “government.”

Watching our meejay pussy foot around him is embarrassing to the extreme
What a bunch of cowed dogs they are
Are we running a sweeps on who’s taking the fall?
That’s assuming the pigs find anything, which seems unlikely
Commissioner Fuller said he hoped to have the investigation wrapped up next week.
“To be honest with you, I actually don’t feel as though the allegations themselves are serious, in terms of the things that I would normally stand up and talk about the types of crimes,” he said.

Seems it’s already decided. Obviously, strip searching young girls is far more fun than sleuthing after perpetrators of the criminal forgery of documents. It’s a no brainer really
Fuck our pigs are Pigs
“To be honest with you, I actually don’t feel as though the allegations themselves are serious, in terms of the things that I would normally stand up and talk about the types of crimes,” he said.
What’s a case of clear fraud between friends these days anyway…
Nothing to see here, move along..
[David] Ipp, who served on the NSW court of appeal and as an Independent Commission Against Corruption commissioner, said the call was clearly not appropriate.
He said it appears to have been made to aid Morrison’s party-political decision-making, rather than the interest of the state.
“An ordinary citizen would not be able to get that information from the police … so what is it about the prime minister that entitles him to that information?” Ipp told Guardian Australia.
“You can’t see that it’s information that relates to matters of state interest. It can only relate to matters of party interest. If it relates to matters of party interest then he’s using his influence as prime minister to try to obtain the information so that he can make the politically correct decision – that is, whether to keep Taylor or to fire him.
“I don’t think that’s appropriate. It’s not appropriate.”

“I don’t think that’s appropriate. It’s not appropriate.”
Well that settles it then. Ipp agrees with Turnbull who agrees with Labor.

What was his opinion again Tony?
What was his opinion again Tony?
That ScoMo committed a crime against appropriateness? Or was it worse, a sin?
(Another exculpatory letter from The Esteemed Brandis’s mum might help with clarifying the unprecedents. Incidentally, have the MSM explored if that was the only call Morrison et. al. made to a NSW public servant that day, on like matter, because there’s considerable back-chatter about Morrison’s premiere phonecall?)
“What was his opinion again Tony?”
Let me help out seein’ as ToSY is struggling to find the words…
“It’s not appropriate.”
Albo:
“I refer to the Strike Force Garrad investigation and to a report that just before 2pm it has taken copies of correspondence and the metadata showing details of any alterations from the City of Sydney website relating to travel and the suggestions from the minister for emissions reduction. Has the government also provided all relevant emails, documents, text messages, phone records, data, metadata and encrypted messages to the New South Wales police and will it …”
“How do you know that,” interjects Tim Wilson from the government backbench.
Oh I don’t know? Perhaps because it is in the public domain?
😆 😆 😆
This is getting more interestinger by the minute….
https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/nov/28/angus-taylor-controversy-city-of-sydney-reveals-it-has-data-logs-of-visits-to-website
Labor has also suggested there may be an offence under section 316 if Taylor or his office covered up the use of a false document.
I wonder why the cops called it “Strike Force Garrad” ROFL
This is even dumber than #utegate

David Shoebridge refers NSW police commissioner to integrity commission
Our colleague Naaman Zhou has just spoken to David Shoebridge, who says he has referred Mick Fuller to the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission over the phone call with Scott Morrison regarding the Angus Taylor investigation.
Shoeman is referring Fuller under s10 of the LECC act for serious misconduct
https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/live/2019/nov/28/morrison-albanese-coalition-medevac-taylor-politcs-live?page=with:block-5ddf50dd8f08dcf251b4a7f4#block-5ddf50dd8f08dcf251b4a7f4
From Tom R’s link…
“Commissioner Fuller either knew, or reasonably ought to have known, that Prime Minister Morrison and Minister Taylor were close political colleagues. Given this, it was highly inappropriate for Commissioner Fuller to be disclosing any details of the police investigation into Mr Taylor to Prime Minister Morrison.”
Shoebridge also claimed there was a conflict of interest between Fuller and Morrison because of the “personal relationship” the pair have previously spoken of, and being neighbours (or bin-gate) which they now claim was a joke.
LULZ…
Uh oh.
The consensus among people in the Canberra bubble deep thinkers of a certain political view seems to be that Morrison’s behaviour was “not appropriate”.
However, that all looks insignificant now. Things just got real!
Commissioner Fuller’s behaviour was … wait for it … “highly inappropriate”.
Heads will roll.
(Kinda redundant, now, but anyways….
“It’s not appropriate.”
I wish lawyer-types would use Plain English; it probably alludes to an improper purpose underlying a decision-maker’s exercise (and/or decision-makers’ exercises) of (otherwise) lawful powers, or abuse(s) of (position)al) power(s), or something(s) else best known to the arcana of administrative(-cum-criminal) law; or, more fundamentally, simply the administration of justice (sans political(ly-motivated) interference); but how’s the average Jo(e) Q. Citizen to know, and why should s/he even care, if a lawyer-type is going to mystify plain meaning and an Everyperson’s understanding with a convoluted, “it’s not appropriate”?
Even worse, though, I suppose, would be that lawyer-type’s bizarrely spotlighting substantively a (deliberate) blindspot in the formal extant (and/or proposed) body of the law, such that Jo(e) Q. Citizen is impelled to (merely (not)) look at (and not (expect) act(ion) on) the ‘inappropriate’ behaviour(s) anywhere but ‘over there’,)
“not appropriate” and “highly inappropriate”.
Bugger that I raise you to “Unprecedented”

What’s Thom(p)son got to do with this?
“Unprecedented” when we can Ensure Integrity because the Ensuring Integrity bill is voted down.

They have not refused to deny anything. They simply have yet to respond to an email sent at 1:33 pm this afternoon.

You people just don’t get the seriousness of what’s happening here.
Yesterday Greens MP David Shoebridge called Commissioner Fuller’s behaviour “highly inappropriate” and referred him to the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission.
Things have escalated again this morning. Labor MP Mark Butler just referred to the “deeply inappropriate” call made by the PM”. Deeply inappropriate! Just let that sink in for a minute.
Shit just got even more real.
So did unions raise the underpayment or is it the general community expectation of observing the law? You know things like awards and regulations.
Unions just don’t have enough coverage to be effective and all the complaining by their barrackers won’t change that. Strong regulation and enforcement is required.
Bunnings reveals underpayment bill of $6.1 million
Shit just got even more real.
“Strong regulation and enforcement is required.”
Hear hear!
In fact, I can think of 23 million reasons why I agree!

Why should I believe anything U lefties say? Labor started something in 2011 which is never mentioned and Coalition made changes in 2016 which is the cause of the problems. But my experience is you mislead and deceive.
For example it was stated that 2,030 people died after Coalition made changes in 2016. That then morphed into they died due to those notices. That then morphed into all 2,030 committed suicide due to those notices. Shocking if true.
Turns out 900,000 were sent notices and of those 2,030 died. Guess what? That is a normal death rate for a population that size.
You evil lefties are using dead bodies for political purposes so even if what you are saying is true that Robdebt started in 2016 why should I believe anything you say?
Unions just don’t have enough coverage to be effective …
That’s exactly what you and Tory governments want … its in your DNA … absolute control … and this statement proves the point … Strong regulation and enforcement is required.
Commissioner Fuller’s behaviour was … wait for it … “highly inappropriate”.
Heads will roll.
Great – I’ll just go and find my knitting … 😉
Has Jackie Tradd stood aside yet ?
Good point, Wally … I see we all agree on what is not appropriate …
Mr Happy Clappy is the PM tho’ … more power more inappropriateness … the Legalese is an odd world …
You’ll have to stop complaining about it TB, the ALP were in government for 2 terms and union density continued in free fall during their term.
Most union officials are dinosaurs and self respecting people prefer not to be seen to associate with them.
Unions only have themselves to blame – it’d the poor and irrelevant service they offer.

The Morrison government’s “robo-debt” bill could run to hundreds of millions of dollars, as it faces calls to provide welfare recipients with more information about how it will review old debt recovery decisions which relied on invalid methods.
On Wednesday, in a landmark court case, the federal government admitted a key element of the beleaguered robo-debt system is unlawful. The admission follows last week’s news that the Morrison government would no longer rely solely on averaged income data from the tax office to raise debts, and would review hundreds of thousands of robo-debt cases.

Why? I am still not sure if Robodebt started in 2016 but if it did so what? Politicians are not that smart and usually follow Departmental advice. Computers are taking over more and more and some policy changes work and some don’t.
But U lefties are so full of hate I never believe anything you say even if you are right. 2,030 people did not commit suicide because of Robodebt. 2,030 people died out of 900,000 who were sent notices. A normal death rate for a population that size.
But you lefties are using dead bodies to score political points
nil, the grubmint ignored departmental advice. They went ahead despite warnings. They deliberately victimized Australian citizens. They led some to suicide.
There is simply no defending their sadistic policy
“They led some to suicide.”
But, but, but PINK BATTS….!!!!
If true so what?? Departmental advice is not right all the time. Coalition obviously disagreed with the Department if what you say is true. OK they got it wrong. Who hasn’t??
You do not care about the so-called suicides. You are using them for political purposes. Do you have a link that they went against Departmental advice?
Yea nil, back up the thread
Yeah it was stated that after Coalition made changes in 2016 there were 2,030 people who died. That was then changed to 2,030 people died because of the Robodebt notices. That then morphed into all 2,030 committed suicide. There were 900,000 notices sent and 2,030 people dying is a normal death rate for a population that size.
How many suicides were there before 2016?
You evil lefties are just using the deaths for political purposes. How you live with yourself is beyond me.
And I still think Robodebt started in 2011
“You evil lefties are just using the deaths for political purposes. How you live with yourself is beyond me.”
I think you mean ‘yourselves’.
I thought he meant your elves doh
Did you mention something about pink batts reb?
TomR
It is now going around on the interwebs that after the Coalition made changes in 2016, 2,030 people died. That then changed to those 2,030 people committed suicide due to the Coalition
Notices were sent to 900,000 people and 2,030 people dying is a normal death rate for a population that size
You just provide more evidence that you lefties mislead and deceive people
It’s going around the internet that your a fuckwit nil.
Good. At least I am not called a deceiver like you are. U lefties mislead and deceive.
It was started that 2,030 people died after the Coalition made changes in 2016. That then morphed into 2,030 people died due to Coalition policy. That then morphed into all 2,030 people committed suicide due to Coalition policy .
900,000 people were sent notices and 2,030 died. A normal death rate for a population that size.

If true so what? Do you have a link for that?? At the moment I agree that the changes the Coalition made in 2016 have caused all the problems. Some new ideas work and some new ideas do not. So what?
But 2030 people did die after Coalition changes in 2016 out of 900,000 people who received notices. A normal death rate for a population that size.
But please give me a link that the Coalition ignored Departmental advice?

House prices surge (apparently)
I’m comfortable to have steady prices, even though that’s often regarded as an indicator of a slow economy.
But I’m also fine with an economy that is only growing slowly. That’s a sign of changing community sentiments about consumption.
It is reasonable to suggest that concern about emissions and climate will have an effect on consumption. There seems to be a more frugal mindset these days, and that’s a good thing.
Hard not to disagree..

OMG! I actually agree with YoM!
I’d also suggest that the fact that ppl have massive mortgages and zero wages growth means they NF money to buy anything else with anyway…
Hard not to disagree..
That’s kind of a double negative – not sure if that’s what you meant.
However … I actually agree with Van Badham! WTF is happening here?
Yes, it’s difficult to think of consumer products that don’t contribute to emissions, and most people give (at least) some consideration to the environment in their spending behaviour
So low growth is likely to be a permanent feature of the economy.
“That’s kind of a double negative – not sure if that’s what you meant.”
You’re quite right. I actually meant I agree with her too. 😯
Ah, I get it, the libs didn’t run the economy into the ground, its the jolly ockers natural empathy with the environment wots dun it.
Trouble is, the greedy fucken ocker wpuld probably agree with you as he cranks the aircon up and opens the windows so it’s a bit cooler sitting outside on his concrete patio

Yes, but I’d be interested to know what type of consumption doesn’t produce emissions.

Really TB, you’re such a pessimist. We have reasonably low unemployment, low inflation, there is economic growth, even though It’s low. We’re a long way from “stuffed”
Stuffed is when we have >10% unemployment and >10% inflation

That’s interesting. They must be targeting China because they meet each criterion
“How about some independent references next time ?”

According to Tudge it was Labor who introduced data matching between Centrelink and the ATO. And it looks like Robodebt started in 2011 when Labor replaced humans with computers to do the data matching to save money

This data-matching between Centrelink information and Australian Taxation Office information actually originated back in 1990, when Graham Richardson introduced what is called the Data-matching Program (Assistance and Tax) Act. That is when the process started. Since that time, essentially the same methodology has been used, where that information is compared and, where there is a discrepancy, a request is made of the recipient to explain that discrepancy. If they can, that is the end of the story. If they cannot, a debt may be raised against that person.
In 2011 it was actually the Labor Party, again, who introduced some sort of automation into the system. Indeed, the now Leader of the Opposition and the Deputy Leader of the Opposition were the two people in charge of introducing some form of automation into the system. Then in the 2015-16 budget we decided that we would expand the system to cover more people, and consequently my department has been implementing that system since. But I stress that the methodology which is being used to compare the Centrelink information with the Australian Taxation Office information is essentially the same that has always been the case.
Neil can you fuck off with the robotdebt thing FFS enough already.
Apologies in advance for the following on-topic comment:
NSW police chief annoyed over ‘diversions’

Yea, cos seeing how a minister of the crown ended up leaking a forged document to the press to try and get his wife onto the council is not as important as strip searching young girls
That’s almost as dumb as nil

What the fuck are you even talking about? For someone who is the self-appointed arbiter of who or what is dumb, you do speak a load of shit at times.
(Move on: absolutely nothing to see, here.)

I thought it was clear
angus used an (allegedly (lol)) forged document to try and embarrass the Mayor of Sydney in the press.
angusses wife wants to get on the Sydney council
The police dude would rather be strip searching young girls
I thought it was pretty clear?
It’s still murky, but clearer. The first point I know about – it’s under investigation. The second is news (to me) but I’ll take your word for it.
The third, however, I’ll need to insist on a link. The police commissioner is strip searching young girls? Really?
https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/nov/19/nsw-police-commissioner-mick-fuller-says-strip-search-of-girl-at-festival-doesnt-make-me-happy
Yes, that’s a link all right. But it certainly doesn’t support your assertion that “The police dude would rather be strip searching young girls”.
You’re just wasting my time and energy.
