Scomo now understands how the Russian army feels.
Bridgetâs brave fronting in Lismore at the PM presser, Major General somebody also, but not looking too happy to be there, not frocked up in military gear.
PM has speaking notes ready
Kevin Hogan LNP member doing the intro, he has led the charge ( not what some others might say).
Lismore worse than anywhere else says the PM for NSW, as bad as the floods in Queensland have been
Just seeing Scott and Bridgetâs expression of care weariness and utter dedication to task at hand is inspiring. A cynical commie would probably suggest itâs more utter revulsion at having to front up in this cesspit and pretend to govern
Heâs raging against people blaming the ADF now. Script kicks in. Needs help with anectdote, not sure what sort of vehicle the kid he âmetâ today rescued people on, helper reminds âjet skiâ. Heâs such a fool
You just donât understand all that he does to help you. He bares great responsibility and carries the burden, the weight of a nuclear powered submarine like a cross upon his shoulders, to ease your worries and cares.
Fairdinkum â â â â â â â moron journos keep rephrasing the same questions, he just bats it off easy. On something as rancid as this they still canât get it together, â â â â â â â painful
PM wouldnât allow the media to follow him out of respect for privacy.
ADF were there ASAP on Monday. Journos ask why not Friday.
Huffs and puffs on climate change after dropping himself in it by saying Australia subject to more disasters now, aware of local climate change concerns here ( itâs a local issue, now is not the time).
Just a technical legal issue that States have to put in a request in writing for Fed assistance. I have taken the initiative to request them to put in a formal request, have given Annastacia a nudge on that ( not his exact words)
Let me finish he says as he repeats the same thing over and over.
Giving you money to put petrol in your car, if you have a car he says.
What if I have an electric car? Will I get money
Youâve gotta admire his commitment to the bit
Failed as a marketing man
Grifted his way into the top office
Turned the entire job into a marketing role
Failed at that one too
Bit of method in their madness, angling to have him say something differently and conflicting, compile a long list of non answers as well.
Not defending ScoMo, but you are in a no-win place visiting a disaster site, as PM, Premier or even the Mayor. Sincere people like Dan does it OK, smirkers like ScoMo does it poorly. Those affected want leadership and reassurance that they will not be forgotten; most are grieving so much at their loss that comforting and platitudes just make them angry.
I think heâs at a point that no matter what he does, he looks bad. The goods are too damaged.
Shane Fizimmons a truth teller, gets to mention help from other States. He is preoccupied with homelessness.
Wonder if the PM stops to listen to those impacted or just tells them what a good guy he is.
Well he is a tossbag, who just does not learn from his mistakes and doesnât even own them.
Doesnât have a rear view mirror, except for when ALP governed, when itâs long range.
I reckon scomo believes heâs protected from things around him because jesus.
