Bevan Shields also asked Morrison how he was going to address the climate change issue and his answer was ā€œI donā€™t think I knowā€.

He would need to call Barnaby for the answer.

Very precise language; lot of respect for the country, and clearly none for its government.

Itā€™ll be terrible if only 10mil Aussies see through his bullshit.
Should be more like 20mil.

Geez Galdys looks particularly annoyed , and very frazzled today, I think she might know what is coming this morning. Shes already been warned in the first few minutes about answering questions

This is amazing. Look carefully how Cormann quickly puts his hands behind his back when he sees Mo coming in for the handshake.

So so good.

Gladysā€™ entire strategy is ā€œYes he said those things to me but I donā€™t recall what I thought at the timeā€

Donā€™t think thatā€™ll hold up with the DPP

It worked fine for Andruska at the Federal Court. To the point where she was described as a model witness despite no recollection of anything that mattered.

Iā€™ve no confidence in anyone of power/influence actually being held to account in this country.

Bit different to being under cross giving evidence, and trying to plead dumb when youā€™re the Premier of a state turning a blind eye to corruption.

Unfortunately I agree with you about accountability though. Would be shocked if it went further

Shes very much on the front foot today, Shes definately changed her tack

It gets worse because Scumo was asked about it straight after and claimed he told Macron at a dinner previously, Macron called that a lie as well.

Morrisonā€™s constant lying is being shown up. Heā€™s a pariah over there and is making Aus look terrible.

Oh, it was just the way the funding was presented in the budget, the funding was allocated.
She would have done the same for others, go and ask them

  • but she has not instanced any

She believed Daryl, did not follow the ICAC proceedings, it was only after her Acting CEO informed her that she started to have concerns
Unbelievable!

Macron is far more articulate in his 3rd/4th/5th language than Morrison is in his one.

This is embarrassing.

Morrison is consciously trying to emulate Trump here, bare-faced lie his way through and rely on everyone being too polite to call him on it.

He neglected to consider that the USA is far more powerful and important that Australia. People will be cautiously polite to the crazy blowhard liar in charge of a superpower, but theyā€™ll kick the ā– ā– ā– ā–  out of the crazy blowhard liar in charge of a minnow nation off in an isolated corner of the Pacific. He forgets that other countriesā€™ leader have internal politics too, and right now, many of those guys can only see political upside and not much to lose in reaming Australia.

Itā€™s really quite embarrassing for us. And what makes it worse is we will probably never see the subs anyway or, if we do, in about 30 years time.
