Oh yes indeed. He actually also needs to apologise to the journalist in question. This bloke from Sky did nothing more than politely ask Scotty a question and Scotty gunned him with a tone of “listen pal, don’t get smart with me right, you got it or I’m gunna do you”

Scotty didn’t say this but may well have, it was that gobsmacking.

Now he needs to apologise for taking 4 weeks to say something
Apologise for allowing the lack of ministerial standards previously starting with Angus Taylor and he & his office’s treatment of Clover Moore let alone the others.
He needs to apologise for continuing to reference his family every f*cking time
And he needs to apologise for misleading parliament by trying to be too clever by half

But it’s a start

Like I was saying earlier, the PM and his office are a shambles and are panicking big time

It gets worse and worse. Sue Hickey - Liberal Speaker of the Tasmanian parliament - just outed senior Liberal Senator Eric Abetz.

Big time.

She dropped Abetz into so much poo that he will never smell of roses again.

Watch the video: it is a scorcher: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-03-24/ ... /100016180

Abetz is gawn

I guess it won't come as a surprise to anyone that Abetz is a nasty piece of work, but yes, no complaints if this is the thing that finally brings him down (though I'm honestly not holding my breath that it will).

^ It's actually going to help bring Porter down. It's plainly part of a general pile-on until the PM cuts him loose.

I'm sorry that's erroneous, what's more it's wrong.

.......

I have it on good authority that Eric Abetz has never smelt of roses

So a sacked speaker decides to throw out baseless accusations on her way out.

Obviously the Federal Government was an easier target than the one who just sacked her.

It's funny how some persons ignore any claims from sacked members of one government but take others as gospel

So, how long do you reckon Porter's going to last? A week, or do you think maybe 2?

I'm not asking for a view about right or wrong. I'm just interested in where you think this all goes, politically.

Porter & Reynolds will both be stripped of their clothes - oops sorry I thought I was a male Liberal Party staffer for a moment

I take no - ahem - pleasure in - ahem - being right.

She certainly looks like she wants to settle a few scores. I'm not sure what side she's on, though, exactly. It's not the most coherent thing I've ever read.

I don’t think she has a side, other than wanting to make things awkward for Turnbull.
