Our PM never tells a lie. Not sure why Scotty even made this an issue. Why say this?

I can't find it, but there was a great meme, Walid Ali interviewing Scummo.

WALID: What's your favourite lie?

SCOTT: I've never lied.

WALID: That's my favourite too.

It's Waleed and I remember that little spot.

Why in the hell would you even make this a public issue?

Hey, @Miss Chicken, how's the snow going?

 

[Miss Chicken]

No snow on Mount Wellington today. I was swearing when I woke up a couple of days ago and it was so cold I think Hobart has only had a couple of spring days in the last few weeks. We have had a lot of rain on top of the cold.

 

[Captain_Nick]

Likewise. My garden doesn't know what to do, it's like we skipped over spring

 

[Candlicious Ghost]

Cold is nice but this is ridiculous, will the winter that won't end please come to an end?

 

[Candlicious Ghost]

Why has Morrison's "I've never told a lie in office" thing become a narrative? Does anyone take that at all seriously, yet he said it with a straight face. Also he talks out both sides of his mouth condemning the rowdy antivax protests, and yet also sympathizing with them.

some-one should tell george christiansen aka the member for manilia aka another family values hypocrite that when comparing the covid lockdowns to the nazis he should remember under such regimes he'd have met a nasty end for his comments.

that he's able to stand up and open his stupid yap thoroughly discredits his claims.

 

[Candlicious Ghost]

Yes well, and that other tactic of taking anyone that is too critical to court for defamation, but that's not so much George but a lot of the current mob.

Did anybody in Australia catch the final episodes of WENTWORTH?

i still have yet to watch the first episode.

Who played Meg's daughter in the original Prisoner and did they keep characters like the one played by Peta Tupano?

 

[Australis]

Spelled Toppano.

 

[Candlicious Ghost]

Spelled Toppano.

Thank you, I think she played Karen Travers

The LNP want to parachute Gladdy into the Fed seat of Warringah.

Yep....... They are all over the media promoting this as some good thing

there’s also talk they want the parrot to run if berijiklian says no or icac sends her case to the DPP.

can’t see the parrot going for it. He’d have to leave his north shore luxury and get out there with commoners.

The voters might not take kindly to the libs parachuting “out of t owners” in.

they tried that with georgina downer in Mayo. She didn’t live in the electorate (was living in Melbourne iiirc) and it was an attempt to use the family name and history and failed badly.

He’s been a big noise in radio, she was a premier. Unless things turn around if the libs took warringah back the member would be in opposition and would either really want that.
