No one is going to be talking about this (hawaiigate) in a few months.

Years out from the next election, save your energy you dimwitted lefties

You are absolutely correct but...
It's a bit scary that the first decision as PM he makes is such a stupid one.

Tony Abbott has been spotted fighting the fires. No announcements or press conference.


Interesting contrast with Scott "where the bloody hell are you" Morrison last seen sitting on a beach in Hawaii.

Pardon?

Don't bet on it!

Morrison's lack of leadership during this fire crisis is disgraceful. He is so out of touch it's not funny

No defending him over this  >:(

Scotty from marketing, has overtaken Tony Abbott as the worst PM in my lifetime

Having family that have had to evacuate their homes and the pics they are sending through what is going is bloody scary. Some of their comments about our PM have shocked me. Why because they have been staunch Libs all their life but not anymore

Haven’t you heard though? It’s apparently all the Greens fault!?

Suffice it to say - should this discussion be moved over to the cricket thread?

Yep, ATs take was almost as misguided as Scomos efforts of late.

Although I gotta say, his PR department must have given up on him. One bumbling blooper after another.

You know something’s awfully awry when Nick Kyrgios is doing a better job of inspiring the country than Scummo is.

Once again they are more interested in playing cheap politics and think they know better than the experts  ::).

Too bad hazard reduction burns do pretty much bugger all to make any difference with these catastrophic fires.

Been in power for 7 years yet still blaming everyone and anyone else. More ad-man spin to avoid mentioning, acknowledging and dealing with the elephant in the room :shh.

Hard to see how Scott Morrison can survive as PM.


Just not up to it.

1. Morrison won an election in May. He was PM before that, so he has been in power longer than 6 months. Get you facts right before you take one of your shots from your cheap seat.

2. If you can in anyway condone how he has handle this crisis, then it is you not me who has let the plot or you are clearly blinded by some sort of liberal bias. I was going to say you can't see the forest for the trees but seeing over 735k hectares have burnt that would be in terrible taste. But perhaps your mate ScottyFromMarketong will use it  >:(

In times of crisis leaders LEAD. Morrison has failed. Hosting a party at Kirribili NY's eve to watch fireworks aint leadership. hosting the cricketers and then rambling on how they would lift the firies spirits  :help, when he meets a firefighter in NSW and the firefighter says he hasn't eaten properly for 3 days and the PM responds by saying "better let you get back to it" (and he wasn't talking about eating either >:() This ain't leadership. I can point to 3 pollies who have shown leadership this week and your blessed Scotty isn't one of them.

3. If any leader from any party had handled things the same way, they would be copping it too.  If Shorten was PM we would have a national emergency fire service,  it was a policy BTW for situations like this. But keeping franking credits was far more important  >:(

4. The Greens deserve some of the whacks that are coming there way for their opposition to controlled forest clearing etc. That has contributed to this

5. If my cousin loses her home today which is highly likely based on what they got told last night, I will pass on your well wishes and concerns about my state of mind

Well, you didn't quote me at the time I made the comment. So in fairness to me, the post was fair at the time given he was coming back and one would have thought he may have done a more polished job dealing with things since

He has not

I'm not a Liberal stooge but would still rather have Morrison running the show over the alternative. However, things like the forced handshakes (WTF), turning his back on that woman and some of the other interactions have been poor. Smacks of a bloke who either has little empathy for anyone or no social skills whatsoever. Not a good look.

Honestly, what I'm most disappointed about is the people out there using these fires as political ammo above all else. The first thought in any tragedy should always be for the victims.

Just a terrible thing all round at the minute.

ScoMo is surely done and dead in the water.

Controlled burning aside (Greens are too left and extreme for me) ScoMo's lack of leadership has been disgusting and shameful. I wish we had our own Ardern!

The amount of political mileage people are getting out of the fires is the real disgrace
