Prime Minister Scott Morrison and senior Liberals are openly encouraging the former New South Wales premier Gladys Berejiklian to run as the party's candidate in Warringah at next year's federal election.The Prime Minister has openly advocated for former premier Gladys Berejiklian to run for a federal seatScott Morrison said he thinks people would welcome Ms Berejiklian if she chose to run
Despite the stunning evidence and phone taps presented at the ICAC inquiry, Liberals have been buoyed by polling published in Nine papers last month suggesting Ms Berejiklian's "likeability" had rebounded after her appearance at those hearings. "I think this is a great opportunity, if Gladys wishes to run, but that's up to her," he told reporters.
Lol, Ah The Liberals have lost the Plot, Funny though they drag their heels on a Federal Anti corruption Commission & they try to bring her in Just investigated by a State Corruption Commission .. almost a satire let’s see how this train wreck Develops 🤣
Good to see the National and liberals getting some new talented clean skins
Just a distraction.
They’re laughing all the way to their bank and then the ballot box…
That’s crazy… corruption loves corruption?
If she is as smart as it appears, she would not stand for a loosing government. Loosing vision and perspective. If she is really smart, she would get a well paid position in an non-government enterprise. Something in alternative energy. This way she would really serve Australia.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Birds of the feather
Of course he would he wants more corrupt Liberals in parliament
Power seduces mediocre human beings. We need working class philosophers, not lawyers, economists and engineers.
Desperate times calls for desperate measures.
And apparently considering Daryl Maguire for another seat.
Scott Morrison and cabinet members openly push for former NSW premier Gladys Berejiklian to run in Warringah. Current Federal Government seems to be a ‘rorts’ government, so I think that she with be a good fit.
Why would Gladys run in Waringah? If she won, she would become another submissive woman in a Morrison cabinet or shadow cabinet. If she lost, she would be a very public loser.
If she's pre-selected, it'll be one of the biggest stings/cons in oz politics..Fighting the pandemic was party of her job, rorting, pork barrelling and shredding govt documents wasn't.
Two peas in a pod.
This is speculation, not news. Do better.
LNP running Australia into the ground. ICAC now
Has anyone asked HER if she’s standing? Surely that’s the very first thing any journo should do!
How very sad our leader supports corruption. This says such sad things about us.
Blatant endorsement of corrupt use of our taxes, but hardly surprising after a decade of blatant misuse of public office by the federal LNP and slimy support fron NSW.
Anyone with half a brain would not vote for her. Even if she did not behave corruptly her judgment is appalling.
Wait for ICAC call
People power will stop her.
PM keeps media & Aus distracted. Labor PM with strong cross bench of Independents needed. Tic Toc Scott
Shamelessness is the dominant trait of conservatives throughout the Anglosphere. To make it worse for our democracy the media will give her a free pass on this. By ignoring medical advice Berejiklian caused the deaths of more than a 1020 people. This also goes unreported. auspol
No matter the outcome of ICAC.
There's something very, very wrong in this country if someone who is under investigation for alleged corruption is allowed to 'represent' a segment of the population. How is this even legal?
Prime Minister openly backing corrupt former NSW premier etc FTFY
Openly backing a politician that is currently under investigation by an independent anti-corruption agency which hasn’t yet concluded a finding implicates the ex-premier in corrupt conduct by her secret boyfriend.
Gladys is being used by Morrison for political advantage , sounds similar to what Maguire did,. A woman to be used for advantage, I’d much more like her standing on her own principles and leadership of service to community… not for his benefit
Should be interesting seeing her run a campaign if she’s in jail… not too many photo ops with babies or Bunnings sausage sizzles!!
What kind of SHIT reporting is this? 'There is no suggestion of criminal conduct by Gladys” doesn’t mean there’s no corruption. 'there were no findings of anything” because the enquiry isn’t finished. “Ms Steggall, a former Olympic skier” is also a lawyer. ThisisNotJournalism
She'd be just down their alley, adding to the corruption in the ranks of the Morrison government. A vote for the LNP is a vote for sports and carpark rorts, wasted taxpayers money and apparent entrenched corruption.
More corruption!!
That's like nominating Hitler for the Nobel peace prize.
Disgusting
MacForest2 As you sew, so also shall you reap. Sew a liar, reap deception.
He really doesn't have a clue
Very politician needs investigating.
No it’s about discrediting ICAC
If Gladys felt she had to rest fun from Parliament, why would she stand for re-election?
Well it would be good to see them all go down together👍
Oh this will upset the Leftards
Squirrel!!
Isn’t she still in NSW parliament?
LNPCorruptionParty VoteTheLNPOut VoteScottMorrisonOut
I wondered who she was shagging 😀😀😀
Back FROM THE KING of Corruption to the Queen of Corruption.🤔
I always knew Gladys Berejiklian didn't have commonsense. The old adage if you sleep with dogs you get fleas, the dogs name was Daryl. No offense to the 4 legged kind. Dissapointed she's not in Prison Greens.😑
Stop simply repeating today’s talking points. ThisisNotJournalism
Disgraceful
They didn't mind smearing Craig Thompson and he didn't do anything illegal.
Says volumes about ScottMorrisonMP and his own corruption High time he was investigated FederalICAC nswicac auspol AlboForPM
Morrison declaring federal members of parliament,above the law.
WTF? LNPCorruptionParty LNPDisgrace
So, I guess, the more people you kill through your idiotic decision to not lock Sydney down at the start of the outbreak, the better-qualified you are for the LNP. And that humiliating ICAC hearing was pretty funny ...
Just the right amount of corruption for federal Liberal party....
Well, what’s one more corrupt lib amongst friends?
Corruption. She's corrupt. Sums up the LNP.

auspol Welcome to the true COALition IPA LNP murdocricy
Has probably the worst record on COVID from bungled Ruby Princess debacle which spread pandemic right throughout the country to bungled international flight crew driver which spread Delta right throughout the country.
Desperate doesn't begin to describe this. But we all know slowmo will do anything to try and hang on to power.... Integrity is the last thing he worries about in his politicians....
Scott Morrison openly supports corruption.
ElaineM11584892 He says he is a fantastic recycler.
So someone whoe steps down from state politics due to being under investigation, is being pushed into a federal role, while still under investigation. Because integrity is not important to LNP voters. Last federal election was evidence of that.
If Gladys was elected, which electorate will she toss tax payers money at ? Which Member would she fancy?
Scomo really wants to end the coalition, doesn't he?
There's nothing ScottMorrisonMP would like more than having another MP that's happy to turn a blind eye to corruption. GladysB would be a wonderful fit for scottyTheLiar's immoral govt.
Gladys resigned because her position was untenable. Now they want her to run federally under the same cloud
APPROPRIATE!! She was always welcome to the 'LIARS CLUB' before, so NATURALLY she has NEVER left!! LYING & RORTING without a proper ICAC is the LNP way!!👎🤪😜🤔👺👺👺👺
corruption
After 8 years the LNP are about to leave office, but they’ve only just realized they didn’t bury the bodies properly🚩🇦🇺 This nonsense is the last dying gasp of a polltical party & corrupt politicians who thought they could get away with being corrupt 4ever🤷🏼♀️💁🏼♀️🚩🇦🇺👇🏻FederalICAC
To join the rest of Morrison's corrupt team.
No, just NO! Bring on ICAC for the lot of them!
Pls no
Shouldn't she be banned for holding public office?
Idiot.
Corruption protects the corrupt; Blatant corruption protects the blatantly corrupt. NotMyPM Scomocchio MinisterforLying MinisterforCorruption MemberforCooked
I like her. But still. It’s a typical a$$hole Morrison move. In one move he mocks the NSW ICAC and is closer to getting an urban seat back. He makes it easy to hate him.
The people of Warringah must not fall for this BS
Not at all surprised One corrupt politician supporting another corrupt politician 🤷♀️ For a fair assessment of this action one should ask themselves what Scumo would be saying if Gladys was a ALP politician Not nearly the same words would be coming from his corrupt mouth
The feds clearly showing that corruption is no big deal, hell they all do it!
integrity is the casualty...
There’s all this of course. ScottyThePathologicalLiar
What happened with this rort. $80 million for invisible water. ScottyThePathologicalLiar
We know how the government treats politicians who should be under investigation. ScottyThePathologicalLiar
Why wouldn’t he. Based on current performance the preparedness to make decisions that border on, if not cross, the threshold for corruption would seem to be aKSC for elevation to the Morrison cabinet.
It is a pretty stupid thing to do eh? Pro corruption is the direction the Libs like these days.
GladysLiedPeopleDied But ScottyThePathologicalLiar doesn’t care, she’s on his scandal-plagued team.
This is truly appalling - Gladys is under investigation for corruption..ScottMorrison should be respecting the legal process.
He has to be joking!
All part of their corrupt grand scheme
This is disgraceful
One grub backs another grub
'If she wants to have a crack at Warringah for the Liberal Party, I suspect the people in Warringah would welcome that.' Actually, I would, to see the egg on her face🤭
You can smell the desperation.
Buckley’s and None
There's not enough angry voices at corruption. Corruption degrades faith in democracy
She is bloody corrupt She is being investigated ffs
Gladys running for Warringah? I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
ScottyFromPhotoOps clearly showing the standards set by the federal lnp are even lower than state level.
Obviously wants to lose the seat
Gladys is Scott’s scapegoat. If Gladys won he would use her story as some sort of imaginary excuse that it was a mandate from the public to not set up an ICAC because the public voted to ignore the NSW investigations.
Scomo seems to be forgetting that politicians securing funding for “mates” is actually illegal. Perhaps he does it so often without a federal ICAC looking over his shoulder that he has normalised this bad behaviour? Really rather piss poor.
ICAC process not finished& if there's a case to answer, the courts, but Yes! Could you image the posters, 'I don't need to know that'or 'The PM's a bully'. Great for whoever she runs against. Should guarantee they win& questions all who's judgement supported her to run👍
How else , to correct the Books . Wake Up People
Excellent choice,
What a joke 🤮🤮🤮
Robin Hood and his no so merry men, but the twist is that this guy has it back to front.
She’s a gronk who Rorts. No thanks
Egregious overreach by PM , eh?
If she's put in is that democratic?
lame shame
The ‘liberal’ with taxpayers’ money for their own personal gain party LNPDisgrace LNPCorruptionParty
Confirmation, for anyone who needed icing on the cake, that Liberals truly believe that integrity is irrelevant. Self interest, dishonesty, favouritism, cronyism, sleezyness, hatred of the poor, disdain for pensioners, deniers of climate change & praying. That's what matters.
Scott sets a lower bar every day. At this rate we will have journeyed to the center of the earth by the time the election finally arrives
This is so messed up. This country is going to complete shite. Unbelievable
The corrupt do love to work together
A prime minister going to war with nsw anti corruption body, that’s certainly a bloody good look isn’t it. Morrison’s government has a lot of fear of such a body being set up federally and it’s retrospective powers.
How can a person the subject of an ICAC probe be given that role?
Snake tells mice to support additional snake in application for Snakes-Bite-Mice party. Parrots spread word.
So predictable is our ScottyFromMarketing His judgement abilities and ethics have a pretty poor record. Somethings never change. auspol
JFFC!
Yeah, that’s what we need, more dodgy pollies in Canberra 🤷♂️🤦♂️🤣
Can’t be serious
The LNP truely are a law to themselves.
He must be desperate. Don’t get the impression they would like each other
That's ScottMorrisonMP. The more corrupt they are, the more he backs them in. How many members of his own cabinet shouldn't be anywhere near the cabinet, but with scottytheliar they are elevated in the prominence.
I’m quite uncomfortable about federal politicians giving and receiving sex for political favours; that is corruption.
That would be a donkey telling the jockey it's going to win. HAhahahahaha!
Desperation.
The PMforNSW places his foot firmly in his mouth
Peter Slipper and Sam Dastyari have joined the chat
What.
If this was the labor party. The msm and the lnp will he shouting from the roof tops they Labor is allowing corruption to win.
🤦🏻♀️
Fits the scomo culture perfectly. Why is anyone surprised?
He mustn’t want her to get in.
Let's add clay shooting 🔫 clubs then to the pork barrelling list...sports rorts, carparks....watergate.... Sounds like a perfect fit for a government with zero integrity. auspol BreakfastNews 7NewsAustralia 9NewsNOW 10NewsFirst
This is so wrong.
A reminder of how well another ‘captain’s pick’ turned out.
When does ICAC finalise their investigation. Has all evidence and witness testimonies been aired publicly. GB has to nominate next month but can this occur if not concluded by cut-off date. If blocked from nominating and subsequently not charged Will support for ICAC’s waiver?
Who cares. Not exonerated from anything.
Corruption R Us = LNP
Pathetic
The Liberals are bringing corruption to a new level and are trying to normalize it
I think the story is more than 'openly backing GB'. He is attacking NSW ICAC and the important role it fulfils for the people of NSW - outside of parliamentary privilege. He assumes he knows the outcome of the inquiry. By now, GB probably can't remember she was in front of ICAC.
The final nail in his coffin😎
Another mistake by Scommo. He just digs himself a further hole.
Maybe she could run in his seat!
For Scott Morrison, ethics are on option, not a virtue.
I hope she goes for it.
This is right up there with Pauline abolishing family court, Kelly appointed to a ‘social media inquiry’, Tudge as education minister, Hunt’s vaccine failures, Porter’s ‘blind’ donations, racist Dutton as ‘defence’ minister, Robot Roberts for ‘human services’ and so on. auspol
I don't need to know about that bit. auspol
Another dead cat on the table...
The depths of corruption in our federal government is absolutely sickening, and getting worse daily. The LNP are US Republicans.🤬🤬
Giving her all he’s got. Parasites climbing up each other - clustering and shape-shifting like viruses, mutating and deceptive while CC will guarantees the demise of us all.
I am backing her too. She will bring some dignity to the Liberal party. Loo, what she did during her relationship with Macguire could be expected by any won infatuated with her man. No doubt, the best {remier NSW ever had.
This is just another Morrison attempt at distraction which will backfire badly for him.
Also openly and continuing to show he lacks integrity.
Why are we surprised? Someone who supports the suppression of corruption investigations, openly supports the elevation of a corrupt politician. It’s a page out of ScottMorrisonMP playbook & shouldn’t surprise anyone. auspol
Fixed it: Prime Minister openly backing former NSW premier Gladys Berejiklian (who is under investigation for corruption) to run for a federal seat (as she’d be a great fit).
Scott is on the nose. Anyone he endorses is also on the nose.
Watch out for your back Skomo
Classic...politicians get promoted despite being investigated..normal punters can get turfed just by being investigated by police.
She's being investigated for corrupt behavior. The state parliament wont have her - she'd be a perfect fit for a federal seat for the Libs.
IS this sort of talk timed to distract people from discussing the merits of each party as they release policy (ALP) or they don't (LNP)?ALP have released climate and education policies, with Bowenchris speaking at the NPC today, but sure let's focus on this speculative nonsense.
He must not want any seats in Victoria
If only Scott was as incensed at a rape in Parliament House as he is in Gladys & her boyfriends business dealings. He does himself no favours icac
All this hoo ha re gladys, has anyone asked her of her future plans
It wasn’t a political witch-hunt. She is under iCAC investigation. If anyone watched the ICAC hearings when she gave evidence (I did) they would see that she has a huge case to answer. She also used her position to get millions of $ for her secret boyfriends pet projects nosaint
Prime Minister openly backing a narrative away from his own shitshow - any narrative will do. And lo and behold, Gladys the 'rising phoenix' (before ICAC has made any finding) is now media's big story How easily Morrison plays the media and controls the narrative
Encapsulates the LNP disrespect for the judiciary and the LNP abhorrence of transparency and accountability and goes to the core of why women are rebelling and good citizens are seeking independents who will put the people first, not the party.
She's perfect to replace the failure of a member for Cook
Well, she's as much a criminal as he is so it makes sense.
Low morale seeks low morals. Desperados seek desperados for political copulations on bed with a thousand nails.
This isn't news. The PM saying the same thing as last week - yay rah Gladys. Now with added LNP mouthpieces nodding dutifully in agreement. The story should be questioning how a sitting PM can be so supportive of a party member currently balls deep in a corruption hearing!
there are a few corrupt ministers resigning - they will need to be replaced by someone with with the right experience. Will they let a women into their boys club? Maybe, if she in beholding to a boyfriend it is OK.
Whilst hardline LNP backers may accept this. It may be the case that moderate LNP supporters will not accept the proposal, again vote independent. This could be the situation where the LNP will shoot itself in the foot.
Corrupt PM backs corrupt former NSW Premier to run for seat of Warringah before her jail term starts.
Trying to disrupt any ICAC finding with this action. PM will do anything to cling on to power and avoid implementing a Federal ICAC. auspol
Trump’s playbook again! No morals! Shameful display of arrogance towards the Australian public. This can’t be allowed to happen. Stay independent Warringah and vote Zali in again! 🙏
Gladys is on the record - her own voice - lying to a corruption commission, asking not to be told about an MP's corrupt behaviour, and arranging taxpayer funding for purely political goals. If that's not enough to exclude her from a federal Liberal role, what is? icac gladys
The fact that the best the Liberals can do in terms of female candidates is a premier who quit because of being investigated for pretty serious conflicts of interest says a lot about their candidates.
She will be safe in a federal seat, no ICAC.
Well he does love corruption!
No reputable party would nominate a person for elected office who is still under investigation for corruption.
Gladys clearly meets the stringent criteria for being a Federal LNP politician. auspol LNPfail
The standard you walk by is the standard you accept.
just a deadcat chucked on the table so you won't publish any real news.
