ScoMo in SloMo slide toward fatal collision at next election : Comments

By Graham Young, published 28/1/2022

The next federal election will be held no later than May 21, 2022. It looks like a re-run of 2007 with an overlay of 2019.

Literally doesn't matter if Left or Right, whatever party is in place just does the bidding of the central bank anyway.

Sorry to disillusion you but the "mean and tricky" tag came from an internal memo to John Howard written by then-Liberal Party President Shane Stone and leaked to journalist Laurie Oakes.

Nobody knows who leaked it but it must have come from Howard's office and at a time when there was growing animosity between him and Costello.

It also said the government was out of touch and not listening and that Liberal Ministers were being undermined by National Ministers - a lot like what is happening now.

I watched the press conference today in which some soul-less reporter read out damning text messages supposedly from Berejiklian's phone to & from a Coalition Minister. The PM was visibly taken aback, who wouldn't have been.
Instantly, the media went into overdrive & The Project was like a pack of hunting dogs. No journo asked Albanese to comment.
Would it be surprising if this turned out to be made up by opposition supporters ?

That "soulless journalist" was Channel Ten's Peter Van Onselen who trashed his own reputation by giving unqualified and partisan support to Christian Porter and more recently attacked Grace Tame for not smiling.

Berejiklian didn't deny the existence of the text but only "had no memory of it" - a subtle but significant difference.

The text was allegedly leaked from a senior cabinet member and I for one don't doubt it is genuine. This is the nature of politics where people plot and scheme against each other - something with which Morrison himself is quite familiar.

Chances are there are people already manoeuvering to be the next leader if the coming election is lost.
