Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #scomo, aggregated by home.social.

  1. I used to live in the next town over, and it’s gratifying to see the #Nadesalingam family finally thriving as part of #Biloela's community. The lengths #ScoMo’s government—and particularly then-Home Affairs Minister #Dutton—went to in order to make an example of them were both ludicrouslty excessive and shameful. I’m glad they're finally home safe. #murugappan #auspol #immigration #BackToBilo rssfeed.media/@abcfeeds/115006

  2. CW: CW: auspol, uspol, China, and ScoMo.

    So, does Morrison testify in any official capacity, or has he just shown up to shake hands where he’s unwelcome again?

    I’d almost forgotten this banger existed—it serendipitously popped up on the rotation this afternoon. youtu.be/qkyuI3oiGNE #auspol #ScoMo

  4. #ScoMo, evidence that if you are at the top at the right time, in the right circumstances anyone can look good, if people squint hard enough.

    He didn't do a good job leading Australia through Covid, he was dragged kicking and screaming by the states into a reasonable response. If Australia really had followed him through those years we'd have been in a much worse place.

    Just another instance of the Kings Birthday awards being meaningless.

  5. Well, fuck. Had I known ahead of time, I’d have flown to Hawaii for the long weekend.

  6. Why Do the Least Qualified Often End Up in Power?
    Machiavelli saw it coming centuries ago—and modern psychology backs him up.
    This video unpacks the unsettling truth: confidence, charisma, and cunning often outrank competence when it comes to climbing the ladder. From CEOs to politicians, it’s not always the best and brightest who rise to the top.
    Explore the dark side of leadership and what it means for you, your workplace, and the world.

  7. Just when you thought John Winston Howard was going to be the worst former PM in the press today…

  8. CW: CW: auspol, rape

    I wondered how long it’d take. The Ambassador to Hawaii’s come out of hiding to give the testimony only he needs to hear. Did anyone actually ask him to appear, or did he take it upon himself? theguardian.com/australia-news #auspol #BrittanyHiggins #DARVO #scomo

  9. I bumped into #ScoMo in the lift a couple of times about 20 years ago. Ergo, there’s a nonzero chance he’ll try to comp me a copy of his book, too. 😱 #OhTheDread mastodon.au/@politicalgadgets/

  10. CW: ScoMo Laughs After Hiding From Jen & The Girls, Pretending To Be Raptured

    @MsDropbear425

    Ya know... I'm not hugely into musicals but we really need Tim Minchin to write one about #ScoMo ...

    I'm going to suggest the title be:

    Scotty The Pathological Liar Goes To Canberra And Fucks Up An Entire Country.

    Suggesting that Gary McDonald play #ScottyThePathologicalLiar and Joel Creasey play the #BeetRooter...

  11. Bit of a latecomer but have just finished the first episode of Nemesis. Jeez Scott Morrison is a total wanker #ScoMo #Nemesis #abciview #auspol

    One thing that concerns me about #Dutton is how often he forgets that #Albo isn't beholden to the #LNP party room—and the tanties that inevitably ensue.

    Granted, #ScoMo set a low bar, but this isn't the kind of behaviour that strikes me as appropriate to a potential head of government, either.

    I get that he's #NotAMonster, but calling for an election every time the #ALP dares to not screw the poors *quite* as hard? Hmmm.

  17. #scomo leaving politics for "opportunities in the corporate sector" is so telling. It really took him nearly 2 years to find someone to employ him. How embarrassing .

    I can't say I'll miss him as my MP!

As the world scrambled desperately for protective equipment in 2020, Australia made a hasty deal with a virtually unknown supplier.

  23. ScoMo's bullshit about #China was so spectacularly counter productive that I often wondered whose side he was on. Were they paying him under the table as a professional wolf warrior punching bag? Or is he really just that much of an idiot?

    Hrm… so far that's all I've found myself.

    I found #FabianSociety on a reverse image search … and similarly weird posts about them in Turkish and Malay … but how does it link to Whitlam et al. ?

    There's also the classic Masons, World Economic Forum, WHO, etc. on #ScoMo

  25. CW: #Rudd #Dutton #ScoMo #Gillard etc.

    @Milkman76

    Well yeah, he's a centrist, but Swan was the economics guy… (there's more interesting IP issues in India and Southern Africa… another-nother-story)

    I don't agree with #Rudd on everything, but i consider his a point of view wiorth listening to on some things. mostly i like this "let's NOT do WWIII" idea..

    I actually much preferred #Gillard at the time, another long side track… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leadersh (i wish we still did spills like that, #albo is unimpressive)

    But when #ScoMo was on a nuclear military shopping spree and demanding #WHO investigate the Wuhan lab … and #Dutton was doing his chest thumping "prepare for war" rhetoric … i wanted the guy with at least half a clue about China to come back…

  26. To those who are against the squirrel #storing the acorn, we can see why you dislike #capitalism.

    Storage is evil. Bad #storage.

    But scurry along while thinking squirrels work on removing netting and various mechanisms that funnel the great many #acorns into the pouches of the most greedy and sociopathic of the #squirrels.

  27. Scott Morrison started his concession speech tonight by noticing an ex-PM warCriminal, who worked with the #BushCrimeFamily to severely impair #Australia.

    We switched off the speech immediately and turned the music up.

    This is, after all, a party.

    No warCriminals allowed.

  28. …this racists #yellowPeril crap is so 1950s, #Scomo.

    But hey, if Australians don't have privacy, then we don't have a functional democracy so #fuckAustralia.

    If you are listening, #China, pls help export white ppl back to European places that they came from, pls. Give this land back to the #indigenous and #traditionalCustodians of this land.

    Our leaders are demented, megalomaniacal fu¢ks.

  29. Tariff us, #tariff you.

    But could this #AuChina #tradeWar lead to adopting the most destructive, #unsustainable, #unhealthy, peaceThreatening and highly #centralised, #energy of all — #nuclearEnergy?

    Given that #China are going #nuclear. Rather than try to #trade with them maybe an #embargo is for the best?

    Can #Australia reduce #uranium exports, only enough for #radiationTreatment? Thoughts?

  30. Australia's #construction cartel strikes again.

    Remember when everyone poured scorn on #China for their #wasteful construction to boost #GDP?

    Well #Australia is following in China's footsteps due to #covid19, offering $150,000 grants to already-wealthy #landowners to #renovate properties.

    Because we need to keep inflating that #propertyBubble - and #houses in Australia are just not big enough.

    Renovation is fine, but not #moneyPrinting and #taxes to support excesses!

  31. We are learning what "businesses" are truely needed.

    In #Australia, hundreds of thousands of #unempolyed and #underemployed persons were informed today that they don't need to visit so-called #JobServiceProviders, privatised companies that exist to cajole and torment the less advantaged in society.

    Step one is complete on the path to a #UniversalBasicIncome. Next stop - #Centrelink.
