billshortenmp Bullshit

billshortenmp ScottMorrisonMP is supposedly still in charge for another 3 months. If any boats get through the “ring of steel” in that time will be on his shoulders. Scare mongering doesn’t work these days.

billshortenmp you do realise that ScottMorrisonMP has admitted, in his 2 min “don’t attempt to come to Oz by boat” vid, that people smugglers are STILL in business. He said 34 boats have been intercepted and turned back. Why does he think the Navy/ABF can’t keep doing their job?

billshortenmp Former bosses? Are their names ScottMorrisonMP and PeterDutton_MP

billshortenmp And who has paid him to do that? Sky? HomrAffairs? Channel 9?

bradthegunn billshortenmp

billshortenmp Scott Morrison’s issue. He should be held to account for his ridiculous comments.

billshortenmp Did you bother to inform them the LNP is still the Federal Government or have you given up on them too? 😂😂

billshortenmp Its common knowledge this will happen but I have doubts this is actually a true story as someone saying they are former smuggler but still speak to their smuggling boss seems upmost BS.

billshortenmp Where is the source on this? You really can't just tweet shit like this out without even a hint at your sourcing. Btw, I heard from a people smuggler that he's given up the business out of respect for Shorten. Trust me, print it.

MRobertsQLD billshortenmp The people smugglers will make peanuts and the doctors and lawyers will in Australia will make millions and millions and millions, they love the fake refugees and asylum seekers

billshortenmp LNP loud hailer full volume as usual.

billshortenmp well, this is not the main issue that people vote on, the more the libs bang on about it, the more votes to the alp. (it would be nice touch if govts initiated referendums on certain issues at election time, so whoever gets in, they must act upon those issues, democracy at work.

billshortenmp So who finds the assylum seekers, the smuggler or his bosses? If the smuggler finds them, why does he need bosses at all. Why share the money

billshortenmp Not a test Shorten but sure a test for border protection authority capability if it were to occur. Surprised in days of smartphone communications if smugglers/refugees be suckered by Morrison megaphone welcome when details of legislation, incarceration & turn back policy on i'net

billshortenmp seriously why do you bother calling yourself a news station. Your a propaganda machine.

billshortenmp Bullshit

billshortenmp from sri lanka right - of course - well done bill YOU DOPE

billshortenmp Well you keep looking for these ppl, & maybe you could mention them to the Indonesian authorities... You people are without shame...

billshortenmp Whose fault would that be you think? Assuming it’s just not bs

billshortenmp

billshortenmp

billshortenmp The former boss is Sco Mo

billshortenmp billshortenmp & tanya_plibersek oxygenthiefs

billshortenmp murpharoo Hey, someone in the MSN should ask the Sky reporter who found a people smugglers ring if they have passed this number one priority security risk on to... Dutton? If the Sky team can find this out, Peter would be all over it.... yes?

billshortenmp He looks like this.

billshortenmp Bill seems to have blown his election chance. It was there for the taking.

billshortenmp Is this the same smuggler that A Current Affair is alleged to have sought out for comment?

MRobertsQLD billshortenmp They would have done that with or without the Medivac legislation. They know Labor is inherently weak on border protection and would have had its hands tied behind its back by the Greens and their leftists fellow travellers.

billshortenmp Highly likely they would try with every change of government.

billshortenmp Absolute rubbish

billshortenmp Feed our sharks lol we have sharks to protect our borders

MRobertsQLD billshortenmp Not surprised thanks to evil leftist

billshortenmp 😂😂at the LWNJ. You were told that this would happen under this policy and now that it is you want to blame those that opposed it.

billshortenmp What's his name and have you reportered it to AusBorderForce if not why not? . Ir are you being a threat to national security for rupertmurdoch

billshortenmp BTW, do we all see the psychological implication in this article. It implies that Shorten will be PM. We are still a long way from that being true. Aren't we .billshortenmp And seeing this is such a blatant Psyop I'm going to call FAKE NEWS...

billshortenmp Won’t he have to wait until Labor have won the election? Doing it now would only mean they meet the immovable object that is Liberal Party policy

billshortenmp It begins

MRobertsQLD billshortenmp And so it begins.

billshortenmp who is this boss. A LNP staffer perhaps or maybe a reporter from Murdochstan?

billshortenmp reported direct to Sky by a watchet of Sky after 5 no doubt

billshortenmp Yr not making shit up again, are you?

billshortenmp Fact check please. Unlike some of your admirers, a lot of us don’t trust you.

billshortenmp Hmmm why isn't this former people smuggler not in jail? I wonder!

billshortenmp

billshortenmp His former bosses. You mean George Soros and his labor party bought and paid for minions...

billshortenmp this could be the Mark Latham hand shake moment for Shorten.

billshortenmp I’m just going to go ahead and call BS on this right out of the gate.

billshortenmp “reportedly” Honestly. How stupid do you think we all are?

billshortenmp 'Reportedly' euphemism for 'we made it up'.

billshortenmp Seems like proactively searching and encouraging people smugglers? Are they employing them too?

billshortenmp And they'll get turned back. We've been told the turnbacks policy is safe and it works. Labor has the same policy. Unless of course we've been told lies by Peter Dutton on this issue. Hang on. 🤔

billshortenmp Been approached by Government operatives you mean?

billshortenmp No need to test big bill. He has a track record. Send them over

billshortenmp

billshortenmp Fake news a skynews special

billshortenmp 🐂

billshortenmp LIES DAMN LIES WE WILL MAINTAIN THE SAME POLICY ,until we dont

billshortenmp Is this.... Yes Morrisongovernment Hyperbole, spin-dud-ery.... No Spin Doctor churning this soundbite out - mmm... This is starting to shape shift into the Art_of_the_unreal...

billshortenmp A former people smuggler emplyed by LNP or Newscorpse?

billshortenmp Sources? What bullshit is this. I mean we don't expect facts and real news analysis from at the best of times but this blatant politicization for your bosses agenda is pretty laughable and horribly tranparent. auspol

billshortenmp Sky news recycling SMH recycling Murdoch filth.

billshortenmp It never happened but great story

billshortenmp Rumour and distraction. This is not evidence. It's barely heresay. Murdochistan clicks into scare tactics warp speed on overdrive. BeAfraid of 'them'

billshortenmp How the hell can anyone test a Short gov when a Morrison gov is in charge. If boats get through 'ring of steel' clearly Morrison is not doing what he said only he can do. Turn backs are human rights abuses, but PM claims they work, so deliberately risking lives to make a point

billshortenmp Yes- now let us see the efficacy of the much touted turnbacks. It is obviously very efficient when no boats set out!

billshortenmp So they have to go find them , I thought there were thousands and thousands lined up ,

billshortenmp citation needed

billshortenmp No doubt labor and the greens will approve their safe passage

billshortenmp They need to be put in prison before they put peoples lives in danger! Those people smugglers are a bunch of criminals and we wouldn’t even be hearing about them if Scott Morrison didn’t tell them he was opening up Christmas Island! They see that as an invitation from Scummo!

billshortenmp Complete Bullshit.

billshortenmp Is Morrison handing out the cash to do so? You support the biggest dud of a PM that Australia has seen since Howard.

billshortenmp who? simple question. who? or just talking bullshit you couldn't even be bothered putting the writers name up - publish the name so we can call liar

billshortenmp well done shorten you broke ranks on bipartisan national security, now the whole country will suffer. Billions to be lost in labors quest to make a political point. Hope your proud you sold out Australians even before being in govt.

billshortenmp

billshortenmp havent we got torpedoes and sharks in those waters Sure nobody will miss them !!!

billshortenmp 'Today in bullshit, Sky News and Nine join forces to combat their shared terror over the inevitability of the incoming Shorten government, and resort to ancient, dusty, dirty strategies from the Tampa-era Howard government'. You are utterly pathetic. auspol

billshortenmp Morrison thinks that Australians are cruel heartless bastards, who would deny urgent medical treatment here on the mainland to critically ill asylum seekers. Sorry, Morrison, we are nothing like you at all...

People smugglers plot to find chinks in a Shorten government's armourBill Shorten says his government would erect a 'ring of steel' around Australia, but the people smugglers are preparing to recommence their trade. Medevac is a lighting rod that Oz refugee policy has changed We r loosening hard policy Indep&Greens banded together to get publicity &they did Bill was ecstatic on d publicity He is on record to scrap TPV like Rudd Money to be make for lawyers in d courts We don't need these 3rd worlders. No more africans or arabs. Please. You would think, that if someone truly cared about the issue, drowning, he would not make political hay and announce everywhere that the Government certain to replace his own was being soft on it. But this isn't about that, this about not letting Black and Muslim people in.

'You can't lie' to people smugglers: Angus Taylor | Sky News AustraliaEnergy Minister Angus Taylor has dismissed endorsing Labor's rhetoric that the medivac bill would only apply to current detainees on Manus Island and Nauru, telling Sky News 'you can't lie' to people smugglers. \n\nMr Taylor has told Sky News the Labor Party will likely extend the same treatment to future refugees and asylum seekers.\n\nThe controversial bill allowing faster medical transfers of refugees has cleared parliament after gaining the support of key crossbench senators.\n\nPrime Minister Scott Morrison fears the changes will restart the people-smuggling trade and trigger an influx of asylum-seeker boats and deaths at sea. \n\n Herr Dutton just agreed it is for current detainees. Apparently lying is reserved for the Australia people....it's in the legislation Taylor you fraud, MedevacBill only applies to current detainees. If out right lies is all the LNP have they are unfit to govern (no surprise there) and should call an election. But the LNP can LIE to Australians

If people smugglers think the doors are open, they will come: Dutton | Sky News AustraliaHome Affairs Minister Peter Dutton has compared the medical evacuations bill before parliament to opening Australia’s doors to a flood of people smugglers and ‘14,000 people in Indonesia ready to hop on boats now.’\n\nMr Dutton has told Sky News there’s no sense in being big-hearted ‘only to find that a boat turns up the next day to refill the places with new arrivals’.\n\nHe says it’s exactly what they did after former prime minister Kevin Rudd won the federal election in 2007.\n\nThe bill, brought forward by Independent MP Kerryn Phelps, would give doctors the power to transfer ill refugees and asylum seekers from offshore processing facilities to Australia for medical care. \n\n\n\n\n This is what you have done. Are you telling us this victimised human being, someone’s beloved son, brother, husband is a threat to our nation. No one believes you

Bill Shorten has done a ‘good job’ with local media in regional Australia | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peta Credlin believes Labor Leader Bill Shorten has done a good job of ‘isolating’ local media in regional towns and country centres.\n\nMs Credlin says that Mr Shorten talks about local projects when visiting certain areas, so that locals believe he knows what will motivate their vote.\n\nSky News contributor Nick Reece believes Prime Minister Scott Morrison needs to establish himself and build his profile through many media appearances, while Mr Shorten is more established in the public mind and doesn’t need to try so hard.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n billshortenmp Peta Credlin also gave Tony Abbott advice he's on the back bench being stalked by an indipendent and Peta now works for SKY! What is it I'm missing billshortenmp Locals are onto Bill , his policies will decimate Regional Australia billshortenmp What? Shorten finds out what locals think is important and talks about it? LNP pollies would never do such a thing. They're busy telling stories about Shorten.

More people died at sea during Labor govt 'than any Australian disaster' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Paul Murray claims that the 1200 people died at sea when Labor was in government, is more than any bushfires, floods or terrorist incidents that Australians have been connected to in recent years. \n\nMr Murray says this is a directly result of public belief that the issue of asylum seekers arriving by boat was ‘fixed’, when in fact the ‘doors were reopened’. \n\nThe upcoming federal election is about hiring a government who understands that people who fail the test of being refugees do not have the chance to come through ‘the side door’, Mr Murray says. \n\n\n\n\n Who the Fuck is Paul Murray? WTF would Murray know. Lost his mind. Mouth ranting. How exactly are the 'Doors reopened' when the bill is limited to only those currently on Nauru and Manus chickenlittle
