Guy Sebastian presses Scott Morrison about delay in rollout of $250m arts rescue package

Australian singer Guy Sebastian has asked the prime minister to explain the delay in rolling out a $250 million coronavirus rescue package for the arts.The money has been set aside to underwrite the film industry, which is facing an insurance crisis.

"Remember that fancy press conference Scott Morrison did with Guy Sebastian promising money to help artists during COVID?" she tweeted on Thursday."I have requested an update from the PM's office about the current and future spend with regards to the arts package," he replied.Hi Sarah I have requested an update from the PM’s office about the current and future spend with regards to the arts package. Once I receive the most recent information, I will pass it on.

And there you go more lies and now has involved a respected artist in a political publicity stunt now Guy will cope flack from his involvement. Wait till you see how they control the music industry and awards. None of us in FNQ will see any of it nor given platform to build brand

What does Guy Sebastian have to do with Art? lol

don't hold you breath, the arts is a shit pit of corrupt minds spouting post modernism and parasitic behaviour of people who earn money off the back of other artists creations. I'm an artist and i know good people who need money, but they're hard to find in the shadows

I get the question, but Guy Sebastian? Is this the next celebrity we're supposed to start taking political advice from?

Yeaaaah, ya mate’s not gonna give any of our taxpayer dosh to ‘luvvies’ Guy. Only rich Lib party donors get anything from Morrison.

SteveRezdo Guy Sebastian really thinks he is someone important doesn’t he.

Hardly news. It's just another announcement of faux spending. Ask the family's still living in tents or caravans after the morrisonfires what happened to that money? LiarFromtheShire

MaBovill Well he is a con artist! He is great at making announcements but doesn’t follow through.

What else could Guy expect from ScottyFromMarketing?! 🙄

MSMWatchdog2013 Hahaha this would be hilarious if it wasn't so tragic

RichardTuffin scottytrump will take it on notice no doubt.... liberal party criminals

What a shock! ScottMorrisonMP delaying something? Wow. Crazy.

What makes you so fu*king special Sebastian you are the only one struggling without a fu*king income!!

Hahaha 😂😂 Guy Sebastian actually thought ScottyFromMarketing making an announcement meant the money would appear 😂😂 You gotta love the naïveté of this fella - to not have notice that “announcments” is all ScottyTheAnnouncer does - no follow through .. except at Engadine

The Hill Songers aren’t arguing are they?

Asking PM to explain delay in rolling out funds? The person who used to leave comments under Daily Mail articles, reminding Guy that he still hadn't paid back money loaned to him, must sense a whiff of hypocrisy in the air 😂

Reportedly, Scott Morrison just turned his back on the man.

GuySebastian there was no money from ScottMorrisonMP. You were played like a fiddle by the grand fiddler.

samesam02 Meanwhile those in the Arts (not the Symphonics, Theatre Co, Opera, are living on handouts. We have a culturally dead Govt. LNPfail

Never trust politicians. 🤔😫

...maybe because it can be better deployed elsewhere

Guy is gorgeous...thank you for doing the right thing GuySebastian

I just assumed it was war on creative minds as per usual.

50 million, for art? where is funding for men who are vicitms of abuse, mensline is not an answer, it is a long wait to speak to a female, who says see a gp?

Hmmm. Guy Sebastian just realised he’s been used, like a tissue, by the PM of Australia.

Why is no one else surprised? ScottyFromMarketing is nothing but full of empty promises

Response pending

20% is quite a high percentage for the LNP to pay out of promised money. Usually much, much less, if any.

Good on you Guy!

It's all cultural Marxism to Scotty. auspol

Because this is what Morrison always does. Makes big promises, doesn't follow through.

They don't call him ScottyFromMarketing for nothing, big on announcements with very little follow through.

Delay, before doling out art funding - there needs to be accountability as to what this is actually funding.

Qldaah Shafting a fellow evangelical. Ouch.

Qldaah Poor Guy. Morrison played him for a patsy. The Lee Harvey Oswald of the arts industry.

GuySebastian haven’t you heard. Scotty from marketing always over promises and under delivers.

GuySebastian’s problem was he trusted a man that can’t be trusted. All spin.

Another announcement but no follow through what a failure from our PM and his cohort. Hot air no action

Wow very rare for Guy to get involved with political issues

Hahahaha

They can pray together for god to provide 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

And most of that has gone to uncle Rupert. Welcome to auspol and the LNP under ScottyFromMarketing GuySebastian

Qldaah Haha Guy Sebastian just realising what a lying prick Morrison is

Scotty full of promises but lack on delivery. KKeneally SenatorCash SenatorWong has

It’s going to be a really awkward church ceremony this weekend...

the arts should use the job keepers fund....lol..lets not waste too much money.

Qldaah Evangelicals will be the death of us.

Because it was an announcement....ScottyFromMarketing likes to make announcements lots and lots of announcements

😂😂😂 you actually thought you were getting the money 😂😂😂

Good on Guy Sebastian. As he should.

UnQuietAust Go away Guy Sebastian.Just go far away. And take reality t.v. with you. Take hughesy,judd, Alan Jones, that idiot ex Afl player who's name escapes me, and other assorted t.v Dunning Krugers with you.

Might want to ask where the bush-fire relief money went while you're at it GuySebastian

Imagine not realizing you're a prop for a photo op of an empty announcement from a corrupt useless government. Yikes

Yeah good luck with that.

The Hillsongers are at it. Brain Houston needs to sort it out before it gets out of control. Lay down your crosses gentlemen.

$250 million announced for the arts. $49.5 million allocated (Screen Australia) ZERO actually spent.

Please do not allocate it all to fundamentalist Christians like Morrison and Sebastian.

Prime Minister for announcements, but never the delivery. Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?

Does he feel like a mug for being used as a prop for another announcement stunt?

What's happening with support for Universities? Completely different business model to schools, & they've been absolutely decimated during the pandemic.

Scott Morrison defends delay on corruption watchdog promised nearly two years agoPrime Minister Scott Morrison has defended delaying establishing a national corruption watchdog despite his government receiving a draft bill more than nine months ago. Crank up the shredders boys! He's been too busy cooking curries, building cubby houses and relaxing in Hawaii. Honest and accountable government should be a fundamental basis of our democracy. There is no defense for delay just excuses to avoid accountability.
