Nothing I needed to know there really. More obfuscation and other bullshit. I need to know where he's been for six days, as his employer...

I can save you the trouble of reading the post. Apparently we’re all Victorians. The End

There is nothing to note nor miss with this liar

He had a press conference In person I thought he was dead..

auspol ScottMorrisonMP AlboMP DougCameron51 JacquiLambie GladysB yeah Morrison, you said schools were 'perfectly safe' & that kids don't spread Covid19, neither are true! With more than 26 schools having to close due Covid19 cases are you prepared to admit you were wrong?

Do you think ScottMorrisonMP is a gagman? He has $$ to spend on missiles, warplanes, and spies (which is unnecessary) but he has no extra cash for job keepers and job seekers.

Did he clarify why he's been MIA? Fiji or Hillsong Conference? LNP Auspol

Not really, but I miss a good prime minister

That he’s scum of the Earth? That he’s a religious nut job? That he lies constantly? That he gives Trump reach arounds?

How can PM say WA border closure (which is working) is 'different' to VIC/NSW border closure (which is not working because it's far too late unlike for WA) with a straight face? It's the same principle of common sense

in-home aged care That was where UK totally failed

That's leadership. Great job scomo cleaning up Dan's mess.

Hawaii was beautiful

Actually, you didn’t miss anything of substance. Would rather have heard the Press Club address.

Didnt even want 2 hear his garbage

I want to know when their ABC will be defunded & all the lefty staff sacked!

Did,nt even want 2 hear his garb
