Scott Morrison takes credit for saving 40,000 lives from Covid in social media pitch for re-election

, has taken the credit for saving the lives of 40,000 Australians from Covid-19 in a social media pitch for re-election., attempting to cast himself as a safe pair of hands in uncertain times. He is expected to call the federal election on on Sunday.

“Forty-thousand people are alive today because of the way we managed the pandemic, 700,000 people still have jobs and countless numbers of business that would have been destroyed.

He has got to be joking. Do a little research behind the spin and find the true death rate.

Erroneously, you forgot to put the word Erroneously in the headline.

Like Putin believes his own propaganda ScottMorrisonMP believes his own spin

I’m sure the families and friends of those who lost their lives becaof Morrison’s incompetence would beg to disagree.

What about the people who died from your ineptitude. Rubyprincess, itsnotarace AgedCareCrisis

I remember you rubbishing Dan Andrews when he was saving lives

He would take credit for doctors and nurses hard work ScottMorrisonMP is the worse example how a PM should behave.

The State Premiers did all the heavy lifting. He abdicated the Feds responsibility where he could (quarantine) and then threw brick bats at the Labor States who managed things very well. It’s like taking credit for the Sun

🧐😖🤮

Scott Morrison decided to follow UK and USA ignore basics of any pandemic opened international borders welcomed virus to find new host and spread throughout Australia. Public told to live with virus and alowed host to find new host and spread now we have forever pandemic.

I hope Albanese calls Morrison out for making this claim & weaponising people who've died from covid, and ...ignoring, for political expediency & to protect himself, continuing & increasing cases/deaths, and ...failing to show respect & remembrance for those who have died AlboMP

And a man who can pitch 40,000 as a speculative ballpark (and $60 billion as an administrative error) wins 'best economic manager' award (in what parallel universe?)

Why isn’t press and albo and AustralianLabor reminding Australians that he foamed at the mouth with his determined proclamations that teachers and students must be at school. Imagine the exponential spread/deaths that could have been

Really?!

Pure BULLSHIT as usual

How the or when supposedly did he save anything or anyone apart from himself and his mates.

I think he failed on each disaster, in fact I am sure.

political_alert about 6550 lives he could have saved

Scamming to Hell, by Scotty M.

That was the state premiers, Scotty ran away

Scummo is just saying that to make himself look good on camera, to the media, confusing people with the real truth!! He would twist things around and gaslight to make you doubt yourself and your decision. Don’t worry what he says, he’s just putting on a big act, once again 🙄🙄

but his CMO puppet says we should stop counting deaths, thousands in Australia died prematurely from COVID, thousands of families are still grieving. Many thousands more survived COVID19 and still have not fully recovered. An estimated lives saved was not due to our PMs action.

I would also like to take credit for saving 40,000 lives from COVID because I did about as much as Scumo

Scott Morrison gave himself Pfizer, made the rest of the country wait 3 months for AZ, cancelled the Pfizer order, failed to order Moderna, then banned AZ for most of the population. So, he gets 0/10 for public service and 10/10 for selfish self interest.

6,550 dead though! It's sickening -he's ignoring it was the state Premiers who did the tough work while scumo bagged them off calling them 'the Croods' - ran away during the fires- arrived days later after the floods & missing in action again. Failed to order vaccines + RAT'S ect

Baha

What a dishonest prick!

🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

Can ANYONE tell the Aust public how Morrison knows HE saved 40,000 lives? How does he calculate that? How many could have been saved if Ruby Princess hadn’t been allowed to happen? How many would have been saved if he’d acted promptly on Aged Care, vaccines, proper quarantine?

Just hope media question covid stats with him face on?!

Why headline the lie? Lots of people don’t read any further. Don’t be complicit in spreading propaganda.

Ain’t no lie big enough…

The facts don’t align to the claims- taking credit for our state governments tough decisions (that he and Josh undermined at every turn) is highly offensive

The premiers did the heavy lifting.

He would take credit for big bang theory if he believed such things of wizardry. 🤣🤣

Morrison also saved half of the world from obesity,hunger,boredom,alien invasion but he love Australia 🇦🇺 so watch out he is super man

How was that number calculated?

But sadly overlooks the thousands of deaths in Federal responsibility aged care facilities due to Covid!

Over 6,500 Australians have died so far because of the way the LNP handled the pandemic (allow it to spread). A lot more deaths will be on their hands as BA.2 spreads more rapidly this winter, resulting in chaos just in time to reduce voter-turnout for the election. Coincidence?

Sorry it was the State Premiers who saved the 40,000 not the Federal Govt. !!!!

Scott Morrison Lies Again And Again And again There fixed it for you.

So pathetic. Anastasia P saved QLDers by refusing the PMs request re borders opening.

political_alert Get f**ked! ScottyThePathologicalLiar called a pandemic BEFORE the World Health Organisation only to DEFLECT from the sportsrorts scandal. It is pure LUCK we got off comparatively lightly compared to other countries.

Bullshit.

He didn't order vaccines in time or the best ones. He said lock downs weren't necessarily. And once the vaccines finally did arrive he said it's fair enough not to worry about having it if you didn't want to. Shall I go on ? He's not a leader's bootlace!

Here are another 1500 lives that could be saved

political_alert SCOTT lies 💁🏼‍♀️🥵🇦🇺🚩👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

A real life straw man. auspol

Morrison closing borders to China early then the W H O recommended it 2020, Albanese said, It was xenophobic

June 2021: 'NSW health are digging in their heels to resist a new Sydney lockdown despite the rate of new coronavirus cases showing no sign of abating. PM Scott Morrison has backed NSW's new restrictions.' It spread back to Vic, NSW went into lockdown,

broomstick33 And will you be the media outlet to get him to justify the statement? Getting a bit tired of it TBH

He could have saved lives if he had a sense of urgency at the time and acted like it was a race ScottMorrisonMP

More bullshit

All he did was sneer at states that locked down to save lives.

How crass!

LizzBettZee But not the 6,500 who have died…..

psephy How, by killing them some other way?

mediawatcher83 But does he take credit for our massive national debt? auspol

Says it aĺl, its all about him

RichmdSewerRat Does that mean he’s responsible for the 6,500 dead?

U were under the doona ...remember Sooty...

Following Morrison's logic, he's actually responsible for 6500 deaths. And given he let Covid rip through aged care, that's not far from the truth..

mediawatcher83 Is Scott Morrison lying again? 'I don't think; I know.'

RichmdSewerRat What a joke … the Premiers worked their butts off while this PM fatarsed around doing nothing

political_alert 🤔

Tell him ScottMorrisonMP ScottyThePathologicalLiar ScottyTheWorstPrimeMinisterEver that he is dreaming. auspol

political_alert He actually said “we”. Maybe you you should be accurate.

political_alert Picked on the premiers for locking down now wants all the credit.

political_alert Translation: Morrison takes credit for stuff others did Par for the course

What did he do, sink the Ruby Princess?

But he didn’t save lives. He cost lives. What is this bullshit?

I can’t wait for Australia’s trump to go the way of bad history. Enough is enough.

What lives? Are these the “hypothetical” lives lost had he done absolutely nothing? Hard to even quantify what his message is here, is he taking credit for something that doesn’t even exist? What about taking credit for the lives lost and destroyed through Robo-debt

40,00 lives saved DESPITE his efforts to screw over Australians, compromise public health efforts and prevent access to vaccination

then he should take equal responsibility for the thousands of people that dies as it's not a race.

Albo2022 Albo4PM AlboForPM

FactCheck

CallTheElectionDickhead

EXACTLY who R those 40,000 people? Not around Nrthrn Rivers Region - nor flooded Qld - Unless he`s got 40,000 illegitimate votes - not nurses - Who? Americans? Imported to shit-stir? Someone Ask him please

Liemo

How many lives did he lose with his stuff ups - aged care, slow vaccines, no rats etc etc...

Utter crap

Another pack of lies LiarFromTheShire TheCrookWhoStoleCook

ScottyTheWorstPrimeMinisterEver

This, above all else, makes Scott Morrison a LIAR.

Can we factcheck this. Or better still perhaps some journalists ask him the question.

But it's not a race.

The premiers saved lives, they took the hard decisions and they had to put up with the political fall out from those tough decisions…. We remember. Morrison was a coward, pushing premiers to open up too soon before we were vaccinated and skirting the tough decisions. Shameless

“It’s not a race”

How many did his tardy inaction kill?

Remember when it used to be 30,000? Compulsive L I A R.

Victorian lockdowns were caused by ineptitude of Hunt and Morrison not buying Pfizer

Pfffffft. My attention span is short, but not that short! scottytheliar

You didn't save the fires floods n burnt homes creep!

Taking credit for the work of others is so scomo.

Honestly does this govt even recognise the over 6 thousand lives lost so far to Covid, averaging 30 to 50 lives lost a day. 5 million infected. Never will we know the true number of long Covid infections but those 40,000 imaginary lives he saved are important!!!

Fact check: true.

That is some Trumpian level BS.

He slowed things down. State leaders took control.

Doesn't want to say how many lives he cost, by screwing up our vaccine purchases and delivery.

Say what…..?

Please investigate what policies saved 40,000 lives

That is not true, I think the Premiers & the essential workers did that work.

Disgusting.

That's got to be his biggest porky pie lie to date!

Furious Mark McGowan accuses Morrison government of ‘mission to bring Covid into WA’

Scott Morrison becomes a punching bag for Labor and Liberals alikeCharacter assassination has taken the place of policy for Labor. But it’s the parochial fury of his own NSW party that is really unsettling the Coalition campaign. Character assassination in lieu of policy? Sounds like Labor is using the same tactics that won the LNP the 2019 election. I’d argue it’s ScoMo that’s busy assassinating his own character, but he’d have to have had some in the first place. Being the most useless, incompetent, corrupt government in living memory is not character assassination - its fact. Not only does Labor offer real policy that will benefit the country rather than foreign business but it offers actual leadership. Doesn't it get tiring Phil?

Scott Morrison in damage control in South Australia over submarine commentsThere has been a fierce backlash over PM’s remarks that appeared to cast doubt on whether Aukus submarines would be built in Adelaide Where isn’t he in damage control? 😂 To be fair building submarines (particularly nuclear ones) in Adelaide is pretty silly. Pretty silly to build them anywhere in Australia they cant be ,everything about n boats is top secret ,bits and pieces might be built in aust but all the goodies by americans in american yards ,same for the english boats ,in short we may never get them not viable at this time for technical and security reasons
