Was that Bert Newton in the clip? Just after the half way mark. If not it was still a nice selection of A Listers. No diversity but that was accepted then.

Canavan thinks it’s a shame if Australians were to take a Frenchman at his word and not our own Prime Minister.

  • good point, but maybe some people here have kept a ledger on our PM
  • PM could always produce the advice and timing thereof to Macron.

An ethnic Chinese girl has tweeted a clip of her appearing in one of Bert’s shows , she reckoned the first time someone with an Asian appearance speaking with a broad Australian accent was featured and accepted as an Australian on TV.

Yep in 1972 just about every performers on TV appeared in ads for Gough.

I was at Ferstival Hall where Gough did his big election launch, and Bert Newton was sitting behind me with a swag of TV stars. He had a wig even back then and he took it off, tellin gall around him that he didn’t need to wear a wig amongst his friends and comrades.

I had just turned 19 and only had eyes for Little Patti who was sitting in front of me. I think I noticed Gough speaking.

Born Patricia Amphlett, Little Pattie is the cousin of the late and great Chrissy Amphlett, of Divinyls fame.

She earned the nickname “Little Pattie” at school where she had two taller friends also called Patricia.

Perrottet appointed Michael Coutts-Trotter ( husband of Plibersek) to head up the Dept of Premier and Cabinet.
Sarah Cruikshank, formerly the Chief of Staff for Gladys , is now a Deputy Secretary in that Dept.
Reportedly she and Gladys go back to their twenties in the Liberal movement.
At today’s ICAC , Cruikshank’s lawyer suggested to Gladys that she was not being honest in what she told Cruikshank about the status of her relationship with Daryl at the time

  • not to Gladys recollection.
    • taking her cue from our PM’s version of his talks with Macron…

Coutts-Trotter formerly headed up the Justice Dept. The Counsel for the Commission asked Gladys today why she did not seek guidance from Justice about disclosure to ICAC of her relationship with Daryl .
It’s interesting that so far, the NSW non-elected officials have come up with some of the most damning evidence.

It’s called telling the truth.

So the PMs ‘fiery’ response to being called a liar boils down to ‘well their things were no good anyway’. Doesn’t address the notion that he’s a liar, doesn’t recognise the fact it was an LNP government, of which he was a minister, that signed the deal in the first place. All in all another exercise in obfuscation and bluster.

What an absolute empty shell

Macron isn’t insulting us, he’s insulting you Morrison.

Don’t use us as a shield for your own incompetence.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has spent more than ten minutes responding to French President Emmanuel Macron’s comments.

The Prime Minister said he did not “seek to personalise the spat” but then hit out saying he would not cop “sledging” and “slurs against Australia”.

Ummmm he’s not sledging Australia, he’s sledging you mate
