Prime Minister Scott Morrison created 'a media circus' at a Queensland father's funeral to advance his 'political agenda', one of the man's daughters says.

A step-sister of a woman denied permission to go to her father's funeral in Queensland has accused Prime Minister Scott Morrison of using her family's tragedy to advance his"political agenda".

Opposition Leader Deb Frecklington asked the premier about Ms Caisip's case in state parliament on the day, and later Mr Morrison phoned 2GB radio host Ray Hadley to talk about the case live on air. A number of federal coalition politicians including Mr Morrison, Matthias Cormann and Peter Dutton, as well as former Liberal party staffers and commentators like Peta Credlin attacked the Labor premier over the case.

bugwannostra Yep, never for the good of the country, or its people, purely for PoliticalPoints. We see you ScottMorrisonMP HollowMan Juvenile ScottyTheSimp EmpathyFAIL LiarFromTheShire FakeChristian AUSPOL

The Circus clown 🤡

Scum

The PM is running the media circus

The other daughter disagrees. You've chosen a side for a negative headline. Good journalism.

You know what Scaremo, I bet all the other world leaders are watching you and thinking, what an amateur. Is this the best you can do.

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t .....

GeorgeSalt5 Morrison is nothing if not completely fixated & focussed on his next personal electoral win. There is nothing he won't do to further his political ambition, nothing too distasteful, repellent or obnoxious. And he'll probably succeed. And we shall be the poorer for his success.

And he is responsible for the Trump-like sniping and undermining of COVID public health measures, culminating in his unhinged supporters making death threats against public officials. Irresponsible and unacceptable.

Where’s scomoses

PetraAu He's an arsehole.

It's habitual.

Not the first, morrison is a sewer RAT. He uses his kids as excuses for his cowardice and failures. Explains why he was sacked from his last two jobs. Time to go slomo

I still remember Gillard losing a shoe while running away from some protesters in wheelchairs. Now that’s a circus act!

Yes he did!

Over him ... move on ... find a leader with substance, character and virtue

He clearly forgot how he begrudged the Gillard govt paying for the drowned Christmas Is asylum seekers’ relatives’ funeral trips. And when he talks about “heartless”, he must’ve forgotten the asylum seekers he’s left to rot on remote islands for years. And the Biloela family.

And whats ScottMorrisonMP 's response, its time for holidays

This would have been disgraceful enough from a party propagandist, but the PM of Australia? It beggars belief that any minister would engineer such a cheap and nasty political stunt. If the Governor General had any decency, he would dismiss Morrison for abuse of office.

Crocodile Tears!

Keep politics out you drongos

ScoMo what a total Moron and a few other words which I wont say Let your mind wander

Well I think lot of people r hurting what about other states and the beginning lots of loves ones r dying too o feel for all but think she doing the right thing. Never here about wa

I feel sorry for her loss. But for her to say this is a load of shit and disrespectful

Der Fred!

The entire story is based on her assumptions, when it comes down to it, she doesn't know Morrison's motives

I’m sorry but that’s not how it played out A late phone call between the PM and Premier was made public by the Premier in Parliament The funeral was only an hour from starting when the PM spoke to Ray Hadley He created no circus The ringmaster was Palaszczuk

GeoffFleming4

Disgusting reporting. He was not at the funeral. It is the media who has no principles. He did not invite them. Attack them, not the guy who tried for some mercy.

He learnt it from his father trump, building own interest by rubbing salt on another family’s wound, what a cruel hypocrite!

Anything to say about the special treatment of celebrities like Tom Hanks and his entourage? No, just more Australia bashing.

Who doesn’t see through this scumbag by now, honestly.

Just open the borders - simple !

State Premiers need to step up and open the borders ! markmcgowan TODAY AUSTRALIA HAS 40 cases total !!!! When will you open up ?

Cant believe this fellow claims to be a follower of Jesus

I'm not seeing this reported in any of the Murdoch media. One wonders why.

He really is no help at all, I for one apologise to the family, as our Prime Minister is a buffoon, not fit for the position he holds. He and the LNP, only speak up about things, that may help their political advantage.

No surprises here

No plebachook created the circus

She said it because its true.

The prime minister is a right piece of shit. What’s worse is he just doesn’t care. Utterly disgusting man.

Shame on you SBS

whats new.. none of these idiots do anything unless it can be captured on camera.. You ever think Gladys or Constance show up anywhere if there isn't a load of media there? EVERYTHING they do is for show, no meaning behind any of it.. which is why they should be ALL kicked out

The circus is at SBS and the Clowns that work there publishing constant Fake News

Media Circus and he thought he was the Ring Master , Turns out he was just a Clown 🤡

Who would have thought ScottyFromMarketing would take an opportunity to snipe? I'm truly shocked by this news! 😷🥴🧐

Scotty from marketing at his best

Hello labor stooge!!......move on nothing going on here......only dirty tricks from the Labor party

Bastards!

Look deeply into the Morrison murky pool of mischief and misconduct and you'll see there's more to this woman and her case than meets the eye. (NB: I am sorry for her loss.)

Scomo? Media circus? How out of character is that?

Great jurnalism sbs She said

Can't think why I have flash backs of 'Mephisto (aka 40 pieces of silver)', great film for all budding polly's

'SMIRKO👎🤪👎' NOT repentant for his BULLISH ways!! Disgraceful!!😡

Yet again ScottyFromMarketing shows his political impotence Lots of talk but no ability to perform auspol

Wow - that's so unlike daggy dad Scott Morrison.

How disappointing is ScottMorrisonMP . I thought Abbott was the worst PM I’ve ever seen but this guy beats him handsdown and dumber. Murdoch’s media spin department should start looking for another PM.

So your saying the 11 yr old said that? Fake News

Look up his history. Scott Morrison has form for wallowing in mud whenever he can. Australia’s biggest hypocrite and a FauxChristian of the highest order.

He sure did. This is all this film flam salesmen is good at. He is Australia’s shit stirrer in chief. All media opp no substance.

Yes he did ....disgusting behaviour he should resign

There's always one dumb Labor voter in every family.

What ungrateful people.

Not surprised. LNP are a pack of sharks.

He is ScottyFromMarketing and he was a failure at that too

This stupid whinging daughter should take her complaint up with her own sister who contacted the PM.

What more would we expect from SBS and ABC

Scumbag move. Scumbag.

Liberals are never shy using innocent people to advance their political agendas

in your opinion.

Damn! Didn’t realise he is part of an evil twin! realDonaldTrump 🤣🤣🤣 That’s explaining it all 🧐

“Unfunded empathy” then?😏

“Your announcement of my father's funeral on [radio] prompted a media circus outside the crematorium at which the service was held” Despicable by both the PM and the media.

Valé to her Dad. I for one knew this The man is a grub.

scottyfromarketing

Some rich clowns are allowed to sail all the way to QLD (and party on the way) to service their super-yacht while a woman is denied an entry to the same state to attend her father’s funeral! AnnastaciaMP as well as Morrison are full of shit and double standards. Disgusting!

rick_rampal Well, of course he did. What a turd is ScottMorrisonMP.

just because you refuse to report the news in a clear and honest manner doesn't absolve the palachook of any blame .The daughters treatment was beyond horrendous but it was pure leftist bullying by a powercrazed labor party.

one of the mans daughters confirmed.

It’s a pity that daughter turned ungrateful! Terrible

cheryl_kernot Arrogant. Despicable. Unfit.

ScottMorrisonMP was always on a slippery slop to nowhere from the moment he uttered the words “humane”. A chorus of laughter could be heard around the country.

well maybe they can give back the 200k raised, on Go Fund Me for his 4 sons to go and see their Dad. Their Mother is not allowing them to go now.

Morrison is irrelevant and once his masters are done with him he will know this, hes too dumb to work it out.

Obviously! Sad that a lot of the media lapped it up.

The Scomo derangement syndrome continues unabated. Defund sbs

The Qld Premier created the circus by being inhumane and saying no to a basic request.

That's exactly what Gaslighters do: No. 3 'They 'use' what is near and dear to you as ammunition' (Every one of these points applies to Morrison, Gaslighter in Chief, Gaslighting a Nation) auspol

All tip no iceberg

sacarlin48 Morrison has form doing these political stunts. Remember Victorian cafe owner run down by car terrorist & ScottyFromMarketing dragged along a film crew to queue for coffee

Poor form Scotty, did the PMO forget to tell you that last Thursday wasn’t a newspoll cycle day, cause normally you only bring out the fake tears on those Thursdays! You are a Fake PM, controlled by nutcases and Murdoch press. wakeupaustralia auspol

Not a SCOMO fan but this dude sounds like fake news.

Qldaah What an opportunist.

What crap

Ugh.

JBell100099 SMH 😠😠

He really is a nasty man. No wonder Jen feels like a prisoner.

MayneReport People are looking to the State Premiers for guidance in all of this. In every state the Premier is being seen doing what's right for their circumstances. That sucks if you are the PM trying to get all the credit. He's got to drag them down.

That's what he does and who he is. A clown. ScottieCircus

Sounds like she has a political agenda. He tried to get a daughter to her father’s funeral now another family member is critical of that How ungrateful can you be

Queenslander and Queenslander no matter what state they live in, because of Morrison’s media call her sister allowed to attend funeral otherwise she would be in hotel when funeral were conducted. She should say thanks but she accused him. If he didn’t call media then ?

Grateful!

The reason he is prime minister is because the other option was Billy boy. He would have gone to the funeral himself, displacing a family member and fake cried when the media turned up.

The same compassion he showed forcing handshakes on bushfire victims for a photo opportunity.

MayneReport Unsurprising.

Morrison is a psychopath. Genuinely. He has no instinct for empathy nor moral compass. When you remember that this story makes complete sense. Of course, whether a psychopath that incapable of hiding his condition should be a prime minister is a very good question.

Good for her. Politicians need to think of the impact of their media machinations on ordinary people who get caught up in them.

And Why

That's why Australia voted for ScottyFromMktg . All slogan no substance. Completely aided and abetted by 'journalists' eager to protect their jobs rather than pursue the public interest.

Morrison is right, the attitude of Annastacia Palaszczuk and bureaucrat Young stinks. Labor/Greens leftists are trying to tank the economy to then call their thugs friends from the CCPChina to come and buy bankrupt businesses at bargain plan. Typical leftist betraying Australia

Smh

This The is a farpwft beat up. They're taking the grief stricken words of an 11 year old kid, not the girl who wrote to the PM and asked for help. It's a bastard act to inflict on a young child.

After Andrews announced his roadmap, Morrison left little doubt on where to lay blameWhen Daniel Andrews announced his slow-paced plan to end restrictions, Scott Morrison's tone changed drastically, writes Michelle Grattan. Politically biased propaganda by the ABC. Pandering to those who hold your purse strings only shows how pathetic you have become.... I am ok with states doing their own thing with closing their borders and businesses and defying the Federal government. As long as they fund their own welfare. 👍

'Premier Palaszczuk, you are not the victim': Murray | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Paul Murray says Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk on Friday spoke like a bank teller who’s talking to a customer about a policy they can’t change, not like a premier who’s in charge of the entire executive power of the state of Queensland. \n\nQueensland resident Sarah Caisip, from the ACT, wasn't granted exemption from quarantine to attend her father's funeral in Queensland. \n\nPrime Minister Scott Morrison contacted the premier to seek an exemption out of hotel quarantine for the young woman who would otherwise miss out on her father’s funeral. \n\nThe Queensland premier, however, entered Queensland parliament later on Thursday and declared that she “will not be bullied nor will I be intimidated by the prime minister”. \n\nOn Friday, Ms Palaszczuk said “Let me make it very clear, I don’t make those decisions.”\n\nThe premier insisted the decision to forbid Sarah from attending her Father's funeral was made by Queensland Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young. \n\n“It’s rubbish – I love this garbage where 'I’m single handedly the most powerful person in the state, but I’m also a victim' – it’s rubbish,” Mr Murray said. \n\n“Premier, you’re not the victim.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia “State Premiers” have power & politically close all borders that hurt our people at home who also will have to pay for big lost economy at least 10 years. IF Premiers have power to close all airports there would be NO CAPS issued but NO ONE STRANDED OVERSEAS can go home anyway. However; the caps & border closures are ineffective strategy & wrong action that extensively & politically implemented on people at home & Aussies stranded overseas too long. We’re people, not Wuhan virus. Please don’t feel bad then treat us worse. Many are madly crazy enough. Has he listened to our deputy PM it beetrooter
