'I'm for family values' 😅 (disclaimer...unless they're refugee families. or aussie families that are struggling. or single parent families. actually I'm only for rich families. carry on....)

That's comedy, coming from the Carsalesman!

The LNL will flag this line about Shorten’s “character weakness” from now till they lose the election. Not even a good attempt at dirty politics.

dazza_double_u Morrison more than demonstrated his own character with his false allegations against Save the Children workers on Nauru.

Morrison might want to recall his past comments and actions - I never will forget

Correct me if i'm wrong but Morrison was the only one talking about miscarriages......

Morrison is literally blaming Labor again. He's scottago!

GoldCoastNurse White male of privlidge....being upset...front page news. Stat, give him a shoulder rub

I know who is offensive and upsetting that is Morrison every time he opens his mouth he offends

A corporate newspaper doing whatever it can to defend a party that protects corporations.

Who gives a fk what this guy says he won't be there after May

But the LNP MP’s keep telling us that politics is a ‘tough business’ when their bullied numbers have had enough and just leave 🤔

ScoMo is upset by ScoMo is “upset” by Shortens comments about women exiting the LNP because of toxic climate. This comes from the man who has locked up innocent refugees in prison camps on remote islands to deter others fleeing oppression. He has no right to speak of “upset”.

Yeah yell me about offensive and upsetting thepmo Morrison auspol

Hand the little bully a tissue somebody please. Maybe he should take a short walk through the history of the comments made by himself & just about all in the LNP corporation over the past 2 decades just to get a sense of just vile his party has been to everyone else

dazza_double_u Why did the even write this ‘feigned’ indignation? This is not ‘news’

dazza_double_u Diddums, after the appalling treatment of Ms Julia Gillard when she was Prime Minister, and the continuing ‘carping’ in the Murdoch press this hypocrite should practice what he preaches

_sara_jade_ Morrison doesn't look like someone who gets offended, so is he lying again?

Yet ScottMorrisonMP bought up miscarriages. What a dick move after a conversation presumably held in confidence

Fuck me dead, this grossly inappropriate human being being PM of Australia is a national shame, Morrison is a hypocrite of the highest order, and that is his best point auspol AusVotes2019

Manufactured indignation!

Diddums.

Oh poor ickle fing ScottMorrison I just love the sudden sensitivities found by these right wing bullies when THEY are in a corner!

mikeaubrey2 So is his offshore detention policy, poor thing .

morrison should bottle himself and sell himself as a laxative

So if he thought Bill was being ‘insensitive’ how would the Prime Minister define this type of lewd behaviour from inside his own Liberal Party membership which currently being investigated by the police? auspol Liberal Porn meme Fail

He’s so slow SLOMO does he not get that people like himself, Abbott, Joyce, Christensen and the people from the hard right who ousted Turnbull are the reason for resignations. The ship is sinking fast thank God.

I had a miscarriage Scott and got two weeks off work - I didn’t get to retire on a fat pension. I feel sorry for Kelly’s loss, as would any woman who has experienced this loss, but don’t think telling us that she is doing it tougher than any other women is ok

dazza_double_u The only person playing politics here is Morrison, what a grub.

😂😂😂 butthurt

The usual monumental hypocrisy and 'End of the world' excessive exaggeration stirring up the RW pitchfork waving numpties in the electorate.

LadyPoop2 Awww Scotty don’t get upset.

dazza_double_u He said he said .. any policy coverage? Or just 'offensive' waffle. auspol

dazza_double_u Expect you see ‘a failing of character’ every time you look in the mirror Scottie

dazza_double_u Oh how wonderful that ScottMorrisonMP finds his sensitivity... Maybe he can apply it to pensioners who had their pensions cut. Or the lock up of asylum seekers for years on end or the ppl who are in the bread line with low wages. msm auspol news

Everything Morriscum has said for many years has been offensive!!

Interesting🤔That's exactly the Way I feel about Scott Morrison's Comments!😑

Mr Shorten's criticisms were 'offensive' and 'upsetting'......that's a shame ..just terrible.....what can he do to fix it Scott ?.....

Morrison needs to harden up. auspol

ScottMorrisonMP fake christian fake primeminister

You mean this? ScottMorrisonMP

Not if it turns out to be true

dazza_double_u Scott Morrison has no character to speak of, and is a failure on all counts .

dazza_double_u What a fucking fragile flower is Mr Morrison

Nice to see you roast him for a change.

Morrison has brought up this conversation about a miscarriage, I'd never heard of it before , never once did Shorten mention this, Morrison should have more compassion for the women in his own party, the work of a bully !

It was only remotely possible for BillShorten to be *insensitive about one of the three LiberalAus MP's that stepped down that day. Odd that was the one that ScottMorrisonMP focussed on (not). Auspol

LNP have been on a campaign against Bill Shorten for ages. And now they're upset because he commented on their total disarray & in-fighting? Really? Get a life Morrison!

Scotty just adopting Kerri-Anne's tactics, they seemed to work for her...

WhteRbbnAdvocat I find the fact that a dinosaur like ScottMorrisonMP is the leader of our government offensive and upsetting. For someone who claims christian values he seems quite content with his hypocrisy and complete lack of compassion.

Aaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwww Poor boo did little Scotty Morrison get his feelly weelings Hurt? Getting a taste of your own medicine can be like that, now Scott knows how the poor vulnerable aged and Aboriginal People of this once Great Nation feel!

I find it upsetting that Morrison is our PM and won’t call an election. So, here we are

Aw diddums.

That insensitive prick is incapable of being offended or upset, and shouldn't try to project those reactions into the minds of his deserting rats. I'm sure that they're not offended or upset, but rather relieved by abandoning the bunker. LennaLeprena deniseshrivell denniallen

Really what did TonyAbbottMHR say about Bernie?

Oh wow, as if under the same circumstances the LNP wouldn't have made the most out of a mass of resignations in the ALP.

Good thing I reckon...new blood...is Peter Dutton and Tony Abbott retiring too? What did you say? Oh what a shame, stuck with them unless their booted out.

Just a bit of faux outrage from Scott Morrison. Shorten actually said he wished the retiring members well, but it was also an indication of MPs using the opportunity to leave a sinking ship. FauxMo FoMo AUSPOL

I really have an EXTREME dislike of this hypocrite called scottmorrisonmp

mikeaubrey2 Maybe he should talk to poor MichaelTowke who he had no care for in trying to destroy his reputation to steal the pre selection off him. Absolute hypocrite and a terrible person is the dear leader

Calling it for what is....'rats deserting a sinking ship'.

🤔😁😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣poor Morrison is upset, that his rats deserting the sinking ship, is insensitive, poor precious

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Morrison has lost the plot! Let's not forget about his 'character' ..... 🤔🤔🤔🤔 Do you need reminding of your vulgarity towards refugees, unemployed, our seniors, women, worker's and the list goes on .......

GoldCoastNurse I hope to hear soon of the decision of M Cash to come out of her coma a throw in the towel. She's NFU to the Australian people.

GoldCoastNurse I saw Bill Shorten being asked to comment & he was actually very respectful about MPs personal reasons to retire. However, was right to comment on three resignations within days & LNP poor performance. auspol

Boofuckinghoo, just get on with actually doing something other than campaigning and bitching about sweet F. A.

😂 said the backstabbing leader of the most offensive & upsetting govt in recent history...

ScottMorrisonMP how refugees are being treated in this country while you claim to be a Christian is 'offensive' and 'upsetting'.You not listening to the Australian public on many issues is 'offensive' and 'upsetting' - You being upset by comments the opposition made is laughable

GoldCoastNurse This is offensive. LNP thin skin!

And again, meh. Pot, kettle etc etc. SloMoMustGo ElectionNOW LibsOut COALitionOut ItsTimeAgain auspol

ScottMorrisonMP is offensive

'This is a government where its members have given up and now they're walking out the door,' said Mr Shorten. Scott Morrison found the comment upsetting. Everyone else finds it patently obvious.

Mr Morrison, if this was really about Kelly's miscarriage it would be YOU who is offensive. You are using her personal circumstances for political gain. You have no sensitivity to the many, many women who miscarry. Your 'family values' are shallow & exclusionary.

ScottMorrisonMP sounding like a spoiled brat in the school yard stamping his feet, holding his breath, sulking and pouting, his immaturity and childishness on full display He remained silent on the vicious attacks on Gillard. He is a hypocrite at best. auspol

🤨So did ScottMorrisonMP think it was insensitive to say that JG father “died of shame” ... I don’t recollect him calling out any members of his party or the MSM treatment during her term as PM but you know hypocrisy vs reality that these people are leaving his sinking ship

Inability to retain staff is a failure of management

Diddums

Says the most insensitive LNP Lump of Ignorance ScottMorrisonMP who spends his time dreaming up culture wars to divide Australia ... !! ScottAgo has GottaGo !!

appears scott has had an image makeover. seems tacky for him to publicly raise Kelly O'Dwyer's personal issues when it was he who undermined Kelly's investigations and conclusions re bullying.

The Prime Minister has to manufacture faux outrage about something, I suppose....

Scott Morriscum has a failing of character in not realising people are leaving because of his attitudes to family. Just have to look at the FRNJ who are still in the party.

ScottMorrisonMP 'offensive' & 'upsetting'

Pathetic

Personal attacks the last resort.

Yes, these LNP high flyers supported by huge salaries and freebies about to jump ship with their million dollar payouts they organised whilst in office. Low-live be gone.

On a subject he's bringing up he's using he's politising

Passing the panic stage & hysteria is rising 😂

Not much sympathy for the captain of Endeavour. Has the replica spotted bigger leaks already? Border Force has gotta be busy monitoring it?

So Running up debt to $230 Billion Dollars to get us thru the GFC was a 'Debt and Deficit Disaster'. But Running up debt to $570 Billion Dollars gives you a Stronger Economy. No wonder Aus AAA credit Rating was on the watch list while Scott Morrison Treasurer.😀😀😀

desperate tactics by Morrison as usual

Scott Morrison you are playing KOD's unfortunate situation as a political card, you callous excuse for a man and redundant PM

Bill Shorterm is a crap opposition leader and would be worse as PM

Stop trying to polish a turd !!! ELECTION NOW

Poor olé Morriscum feels offended....

Pot kettle black.

Ffs. Can dish it out but can't take any level of criticism. Poor little petal. Very Trumpian. notaleader auspol

Accusing refugees of deliberately throwing their children overboard. Keeping refugees in inhumane concentration camp conditions. Shagging the hired help & shaming a whole family. Treating poor & unemployed as 'Leaners'. Insensitivity? ScottMorrisonMP. LNP are ALL Scum. auspol

Blah blah blah. Not listening Scott

The only one being totally disrespectful here is Scott Morrison by keeping on talking about Kelly O'Dwyer's personal circumstances. Stop it! auspol ScottMorrison

I’m sure they’ll all get over it. Their skin is rhinoceros thick and all are opportunists. I’m just waiting for whiteboard woman to get on her broomstick now.....

Bailing out now is probably the most sensible decision any of these ministers have made during their term in government. Scomo was handed the captains hat and must go down with the ship. Can’t wait to see him cry when he concedes after 5 mins following close of voting.

Holy crap ScottMorrisonMP accusing some of failure of character that’s rich!!!!

NOW he defends her! auspol MSM

Her own party tried to oust her within days of her giving birth in 2017! Don't be such a hypocrite ScottMorrisonMP . You've got a very short memory. auspol MSM

SM should look in a mirror sometime. He is the most offensive man on Earth.

Is this what we are going to be treated to until the election ? It’s going to be a long long four months

Lol they have said all this about Bill however when its truth it burns.

Lols

Truth hurts

I find Morrison offensive and upsetting.

is this a joke what a big sook

Yep , pack your Bags & Go . completely useless is ScottMorrison , Nastiest GOVT Ever with their over the top Supporters AlanJones , SKY , RayHadlee

what is the point of the article? How about a side by side comparison of the major party policies if you want to discuss who is best to lead the country.

One could also label Scott Morrison as a person of failing character since becoming PM.

The problem for ScottMorrisonMP is the LNP have in 6 looonng years, garnered a credibility gap so huge, that crossing it to walk out the door is no longer lighter than air but thicker than molasses, and the entitled LNP are offended if you're not kissing their arses anyway

Poor Scott! He's starting to feel the 🔥

The failing of character is Scono using KOD's miscarriage as a political weapon!

From the goose who spends every day blaming labor for all lnp mistakes

The motor mouth PM with a glass jaw....

So it has begun ... bag and blame the opposition until our ears bleed yawn auspol

Don't we just love divisive politics. What's going on behind the scenes. Tax cuts for the rich? Pay rise for pollies or their staffers? Plum jobs given to the crew?

😭

There is nothing - but nothing - more offensive and upsetting at the mo than the federal LNP 'government' LNPfail PastorPromo ElectionNOW auspol

Slurring?

Don’t say that Scott, you’ll make me like Labor.

Sure a man for family values who sounded sleazy and creepy when he talked about his mates and Pamela Anderson.

Awww poor bub. There there you've only got a few short months left and then you're out of the job 😁

“Insensitivity.”

The Liberals have devolved to offensive and upsetting.

You gonna cwy, Mr Mowison 😟😥

Oh dear. Morrison doesn't like to be reminded the rats are deserting the sinking LNP ship. He finds it insensitive and upsetting. And it distracts him from spreading lies about the economy and screwing hard-working Australians. Please stop 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I have a lot of respect for the office of the PM, ScottMorrisonMP makes it so hard though!!! auspol

Oh spare me your outrage! You’re grasping at straws. Meanwhile, in Menindee.... crickets

What a grub Shorten is. He has no shame auspol

Yes he’s so full of family values that he kicks the shit out of the needy.

masim29 Of course he did. That is his, and his party’s MO. Were you expecting him to be generous and offer compliments? You are supposed to report news, not offer a free forum to one side or the other. Surely after nearly 6 years of the ATM government you should know better.

Keeping innocent people indefinitely in detention is offensive and upsetting. Shorten's comment about the people leaving a sinking ship, not so much!

masim29 In other developments, FauxSco says HTFU Aboriginal Australians. auspol

I didn't know she miscarried Sco Moo and would've been unaware right now had you choose not to try and point score by mentioning it

Oh someone should really gag this horrendous person. Pot, kettle, black anyone? My God. Shut Up Morrison.

Suck it up butter cup

Nice try Morrison taking the ‘high road” about character and sensitivity........we’ve watched LNP in qt

EmpoweringFem Oh cry me a river ScottMorrisonMP where was your outrage when Alan Jones wanted Gillard in a sack? Just shut up auspol

The public labelled the treatment of Julia Gillard 'offensive' and 'upsetting'

Has it escaped him that he is in government and it is not common for key front benchers to announce retirement from politics when in power. They’re all retiring to spend more with family but it’s a good bet most will take up new jobs and family will not be priority

auspol Don't tell me, don't tell me. ScottMorrisonMP 's now learnt the dark art of playing the victim! What a truly insufferable pr*ck he is!

And these publications wonder why they become obsolete. Ignore real issues time and time again opting for the cheap and diverting pot shot Morrisson needs else his many shortcomings be exposed.

What nonsense. Librats are deserting the sinking SS ScoMo, ScottMorrisonMP just doesn’t like it that his side of politics is in disarray.

No it's Morrison that is offensive all the time

mathisnatural Hmm. Ditch the bitch. Chaff bag. Father dies of shame. Drown her out to sea. ABC TV series about her relationship with her boyfriend. And Morrison comments on sensitivity? His hypocrisy is eye watering.

What comments He said no such thing.

What exactly did Mr Shorten say? It seems to me that Morrison makes headlines by putting words in the opposition leaders mouth. He is working on the premise that the msm will not analyse the veracity of his comments, just create a headline: see today’s Age/SMH!

This bastard will try anything for a personal attack

Shorten, Shorten, Shorten, Shorten Labor, Shorten, Shorten, blah, blah, blah. Boring, boring.

🙄

Poor Scotty, what a victim

Morrison’s as sensitive as a 75 year-old’s circumcised bellend.

So why the smug face on Morrison as she was publicly announcing her resignation?

No one gets more offended than a politician these days

Is now an uncritical ScottMorrison mouthpiece? Lack of character...?! 'It’s OK for Tim Hammond, a bloke from Western Australia, to say he is not going to stay one term of parliament, but for Kelly, who has served the parliament for almost 10 years...'..! abc730 auspol

ScoMo - go jump!

At least he has character.

Plus all the decision that Morrison made as treasurer will be used against him with adds all over the nation labor has to much on this government and this shit pm auspol nswpol springst

Everything that happend during the libspill especially Morrison couldn’t explain why Turnbull had to go will be adds all over the nation auspol nswpol
