"Certainly we engaged basically in getting every life vest we could and throwing it not necessarily at people, but just in the water, because there [were] people everywhere in the water and if they had something to grab a hold of it was better than what they had, which was nothing."
Of course it’s a bloody publicity stunt by a very scared ScottMorrisonMP & LiberalAus . Scooty we all know what you are doing, JUST CALL THE ELECTION IF YOU ARE GOING TO CAMPAIGN Auspol

Lucky we’re going to be getting new people in to manage those portfolios in a couple of months 😊 Total rubbish. That's ScottMorrisonMP choosing to keep Australians homeless for a political stunt.
