Probably using the bushfire relief money to fund it though 🤔

You can smell the stench of an election incoming. Sick of all these glorified garbos wasting OUR money to win US over. 💩💩

Not quite right. Scott has announced another $50m to save his own arse. auspol

Morrison doesn’t give a crap about koalas the same as he doesn’t give a crap about the thousands of Australians his gov have killed caused by their lethally irresponsible criminally negligent genocidal covid failures

Why are you running an election campaign for him. The election has not been called yet you are running a constant commentary about funding things that never happens.

Two years after 70% of the population was lost. In this time I’ve adopted 5 koalas, for ongoing support. What have they done? NOTHING!

Of which his part has played a large roll in doing the opposite. Not that his friends in the media would bother reporting on it.

Whilst the Liberals in NSW continue to destroy Koala habitat. Report that

Scott Morrison did not 'raise any issues' after frosty exchange with Grace TamePrime Minister Scott Morrison has 'not raised any issue' about his awkward encounter with former Australian of the Year Grace Tame at The Lodge earlier this week. Just sent out the crumb-maidens to write articles criticising her. Of course not. He's capitalising on it with all those misogynist swing voters. Grace did him a big favour with that lot. This is how we know it hurt him good. He can't even whinge about it.
