Attack News Corp again and he won't have to. When the LNP cheerleading Daily Telegraph in Sydney has a negative front page about Morrison you know he is in trouble.

hahaha typical MT, goes missing when his beloved andrews kills a state for 6 months and now magically appears.

So now that your back MT, how did you rate Andrews performance last year when compared to his peers from other states.

For the third time

For the record too in case you now have a dig at me for hardly posting, my uncle who was diagnosed with terminal cancer deteriorated significantly from the midpoint of last year and he ultimately died in November. Sorry but family comes first, second and third.

No surprise either you're trying to deflect from the current despicable goings on in Canberra under Sergeant Schulz Scotty from gaslighting and crocodile tears.

More than almost any other issue, the debate over minimum wages reveals starkly the fundamental schism in Australia’s increasingly unequal economy. On one side are large and powerful companies determined to weaken what remains of workplace laws supporting workers’ incomes. On the other side are millions of workers who depend on minimum wage laws to secure their basic needs, and small businesses which depend on domestic spending power. By opposing a strong increase in the minimum wage when our economy needs it more than ever to fuel recovery from the pandemic, the Coalition government shows clearly what side it is on.

We can’t remove the government, and they are unlikely to resign. So this government will remain in office until the election in November next year.
So, it is time for Premier Andrews to take one for the Team. Team Victoria, his own team, the ALP.
He needs to do a Buckley and stand down. Resign. Hand over the reins of leadership to a new face. One who can start the process of rebuilding.

Barnaby is back as Nats leader. He also steps in immediately as acting PM while Morrison is absent.

I'm sure he has to be sworn in first. Seems like we will headless for a while.

Mr Orange is back

Heaven help us.

Berejiklian is a Liberal team player who keeps her grievances about Morrison private. But, in private, she is scathing. The NSW Premier has told Liberal colleagues she’d have preferred that Peter Dutton had won the last federal leadership ballot
