He was talking about “snapback” last month - what happened...? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yep, I agree. Time to vote in a govt capable of fixing it, someone with a plan and vision together with economic ability. No, sit down LNP it ain’t you we’re looking for

your all stuffed but we're in great shape we have $60billion to play with.

Here comes austerity measures designed to divide us even further!

Unless you're a politician or the head of a corporation that donates to a political party...

He caused it

Re: 'Scott Morrison warns of long, hard economic recovery ahead Indeed it will be if the current inept bean-counters (i.e. LNP) remain in charge of the budgets/financial decision-making.

Will be made even harder because of Morrison's ineptitude and rorting mates driven excuse of a government.

This is a bit odd. I’m sure he said it would snap back to normal in September.

These times are opportunities for politicians who think outside of the square but will fail if you don't change your governing business model.

More Spin and Bs from the Clown Master of a foolish government. There are farmers gone to wall, Fire victims Living in Tents last Seasons fire Season,1 million casuals who cant access job keeper . The worst Financial Team of Pathetic ministers Aust history ScottyFromMarketing

Yep with this corrupt government certainly represents the selfish greedy in society so it's a rocky road going forward

Self inflicted economic destruction .= much more deaths . Continue stupidity with most State leaders . eg we need to remove the state border restrictions immediately. We can be more intelligent with our international border as Iceland is doing . We have a test for this virus !

The SloganBogan has created a “Debt and Deficit Disaster”!!!

That's okay. We should also sanction china to prevent another mess from happening. CCPChinaJudgmentDay

Code for BOHICA. IR war and tax cuts for corps

You mean for all the casual, migrant works, arts and entertainment folks you've left out of the jobkeeper and jobseeker packages? Yeah it is tough for them as they live in poverty noworkerleftbehind

Now that he and the rest if the LNP have fucked everything up? I don't doubt it! Just don't let them build this metaphorical road: It'll end up being a dirt track.

For whom? Obviously not him and his mates.

FatherBob Thank Captain Obvious! The economy was struggling before the virus so no reason to think the clowns in charge will fare better post vir

Cue the tax time Covid Levy all the casual workers that received diddlysquat will have to pay....

Or we could fast track recovery by slashing green tape, invest in coal and build nuclear. We have abundant resources for both.

and is he taking a pay cut? donating his super?

'Scott Morrison warns of long and boring repetitive media conference.' - fixed your headline.

Not for him on his $500,000 + perks. Prick! BTW ABC, when are you going to start calling out the lies from this Govt. You’re making it hard to stay loyal.

Take back all those industries that should never be “for profit” .. .. recouping the massive chunk that is profit .. .. restore staffing levels, service standards, job security .. .. remunerate well and tax ALL at the right % An employment led recovery 🤔🤔

Don't worry the sucker PAYE taxpayers will be paying for this. The LNP wont be collecting a cent in tax from multinationals or the churches or all the other tax dodgers in the country costing billions of dollars in lost revenue. And the PAYE taxpayers will just suck it up.

ScottyFromMarketing’s government is incompetent and corrupt - nothing but sportsrorts and a circus of scandal. CaymansAngus RolexRobert RubyDutton rule the roost. Australia deserves better. auspol

Definitely with you in power ScoMo, pathetic cant even give an accurate budget.

If it's going to be long then he's not doing enough to help Australians.

This bloke is an absolute joke.

Especially under your government ScottyFomMarketing

Well yeah.

'Scott Morrison has basic sense of awareness'

More tax

Scomo needs to grow a pair and shit can Victoria’s Chinese arrangements.

But he just saved 70 billion. 😟

I'm so relieved we've got the supreme economic management team of ScottyFromMarketing & JoshyfromAccounts at the helm to guide us through it. I'm sure we'll be fine.

Only for the poor, the rich will be given trillions under the table.

$60b in 'savings' on jobkeeper that could be pumped into universities that are being forced to close campuses would be a better start. What does this govt have against accessible education for all? auspol

Says someone who can't count.

Hopefully without him

From covid? I though y’all handled that pretty well? You opened up right? Or is the rest of the world bamboozled

JobMaker...Gee ScottyFromMarketing must have spent $60 billion coming up with that little doozy. I just don't have enough words to describe what a colossal fcukwit this wanker is 😬

With a $60 billion hole in the economic stimulus we’re going to be in for a depression.

Long and hard recovery is a political choice. There is no scarcity of money as such. Greens AustralianLabor

So you need to put work into actually helping poor and impoverished people and not just threaten them to find work that isn't available in their areas. Help people who are unable to work due to health, but aren't 'bad enough' for disability support, for example

Nah it's all good, Scotty said there'll be a snap back.

I hope somebody has a calculator?

while he pisses off China ?

Ok, sounds like that means there should be sufficient welfare and support till that point then.

They know their response has been disastrous and they have no grasp of the situation. But hey let’s put it out there now that it’s going to be bad to cover our arse. Marketing, lessening the fallout?

Especially if they continue to manage the exchequer in the manner displayed in the past few days. Time for a vote of no confidence in this rabble!

some people like it long & hard..

Yes, because they screwed it up with China.

Mostly is self inflicted from very destructive & overly exaggerated management of an infection with very low lethality risk despite its high prevalence in communities. Resulting in COMPLETE FAILURE! The cure was many fold worse than the disease.

Annex New Zealand, then rob them blind like the irish. They can only put up a token resistance and nobody will notice or care.

Indeed, so thanks again the CPC of China not to worry the ABC will appease your many sins, sad 😢.

Of course it will be! To he LNP loses money all the time, it seems. Imagine if they could actually manage money! Might be fixed in a month or two.

When the government can't budget or get the numbers right i doubt they'll fix anything.

Unless you're a real estate investor, in which case it'll be great. This spastic will put us right on the road to another financial crisis in 8 years.

We all need to work full time. Try to do good things. Use resources and reduce expense. We will recover soon.

Not for all of us.

Return of local sport in Australia after coronavirus hiatus a sign of normal life returning, PM Morrison saysPrime Minister Scott Morrison says the resumption of community sport is a sign that 'normal life' is returning to Australia after the worst of the coronavirus pandemic.

The more experts find out about the long term impact of covid, the more they are concerned. It’s not the flu. It can kill you and cause permanent damage. Scott is a dangerous moron.
