Dear CM,

Usual veneer opinion for you.

Let's try a little deeper.

"Morrison had a curious work history before entering parliament. He held a variety of short-term positions within the Liberal Party and short-term contracts within the tourism industry. In 1998, he became head of NZ’s newly formed Office of Tourism and Sport. In 2006, he was appointed managing director of Tourism Australia."

...

"On 17 November 2018, Middleton notes, ‘The 1999 report by NZ’s controller and auditor-general examined the December 1998 resignations of two heads of the NZ Tourism Board, as well as payouts to them, that were later found to be unlawful. The report criticised Morrison’s role in the lead-up to these events.’

‘Scott Morrison left NZ’s Office of Tourism and Sport, a year after the audit report was published and a year before the end of his contract. The reasons for his early departure have never been fully explained.’

Annika Smethurst describes Morrison’s Tourism Australia (TA) job: ‘Following a three-month hunt, Morrison was offered the Tourism Australia $320,000-a-year role as managing director of the federally funded body – reporting to the TA board chairman (and former Deputy Prime Minister) Tim Fischer and to the new Minister for Small Business and Tourism, Fran Bailey.’

From the start, ‘TA Board Chairman, Tim Fischer, and his Deputy Chairman, Tony Clark, met Fran Bailey for lunch… those familiar with the meeting say the pair came to Canberra for one reason only: to warn her about Morrison, who was already proving difficult to handle.’"

...

"‘In February 2006, after spending millions of dollars on market research, Tourism Australia unveiled its big new advertising campaign, which asked the world: “So Where The Bloody Hell Are You?”. But within weeks of its release, the campaign hit a major roadblock…’

Karen Middleton reports that this ‘period was the subject of a scathing 2008 Australian National Audit Office report that disclosed what preceded the then Tourism Minister Fran Bailey’s decision to sack Morrison, backed by then Prime Minister John Howard and his department.’"

Yup. Reeking in competence wasn't he.

Foxy,
Anything she discusses is anti conservative no matter if it makes sense or even more sense. She is one of the worst biased commentators on the market. God help us if she ever gets a journalist certificate !

Foxy,

Before politics, Albozo was a bank teller. He has no business or financial credibility whatsoever.

shadowminister,

Our Prime Minster worked at the Commonwealth Bank after
finishing high school. He then went on to the University
of Sydney and got a degree in economics. Also his political
career is very wide and varied. He's a very experienced
politician and is well known for both his experience and
negotiation skills. Your nit-picking and focusing only on
what the man did just after he left high school - says so
much about your character. Pathetic!

With attitudes like yours - I doubt if your party will ever
recover from Saturday's results. Voters are seeing you guys
as you really are!

individual,

You did not answer my question as to what you objected to in
the quote I gave of Patricia Karvelas. When she said:

"A generation of Liberal politicians has been lost and the
recriminations will be wide and deep."

Are you suggesting this hasn't happened?

And why the personal attacks on her?

Surely you can do better?

Perhaps not.

As for questioning her qualifications as a journalist?

She is recognised as one of the best journalists in the
Australian media. She's a graduate of RMIT University.
After graduation she began her professional career with
the ABC and SBS. She's also worked with Rupert Murdoch owned
newspaper - "The Australian" and "Sky News Australia."
She was the Victorian Bureau Chief and Senior National
Affairs Journalist for the Australian. She used to host
a weekly program called "Karvelas" at Sky News Australia.

Currently she is working at the Radio National program. She's
been RN Drive's presenter for five and a half years now.
Furthermore Patricia joined the ABC News 24 Channel in 2018
to host their show - "Afternoon Briefing." She also so-hosts
a weekly political podcast - " The Party Room."

And there's so much more. But that'll do for now.
Your ignorance is really embarrassing.
