He may have memorised a song or two, maybe even some Bible verses, but that comes 100% solely from a self-serving "how do I act convincingly to these people so they willingly hand me more money/power", not through any actual belief in what he says.

Scomo is the anti-PM. He's had two extreme calamities befall Australia hit during his term and he did nothing of value, and objectively made one of them dramatically worse. History won't be kind to him, though the failings of his party will be swiftly forgotten by the public he's an absolute and total failure as PM and he'll wear that for the rest of his days he personally won't ever realise it, because he's far, far too stupid

He apparently talked to a few people that he saw the last election result as a miracle from God. That's why he is always looking so smug, imagine if you truly believed that the creator of the universe had intervened to make sure you were the most powerful man in the country.

Tony Abbott slithered off to be a right-wing think tank consultant/speaker etc. As well as whatever he did for the UK government. Most other former PMs post retirement get handed cushy corporate do nothing jobs, or ambassadorships etc. What will ScoMo do? Of what possible use is he?

I always find it amusing when someone attributes a big achievement to god. like why the gently caress would you give that glory to some completely imaginary piece of poo poo that likes to give kids cancer? you won the thing. own it. relish in it. gently caress god, he did nothing. hes the rear end in a top hat on your group assignment asking for a copy of the work the morning its due.

I reckon churches have just enough structure/hierarchy and quasi-unstructured interaction with the general public that people like Scotty from Marketing are able to fail upward with minimal risk of them having to wear the consequences of their inadequacies. That means it's a skillset that only translates into running the country when the country basically runs itself and has no real issues that require someone with actual leadership skills and experience making tough decisions. It's amazing how good you can look when you rest on your laurels and there's no major fires, floods, pandemics, or any other kind of catastrophe that would require any amount of flexibility and/or refusing to pander to your vested interests.

And as dark as that joke was, it's nowhere near as dark as what greyhound owners actually do to 17,000 unwanted puppies each year as "wastage". That's 96% of all greyhound puppies. Hint: they don't worry about the bag or the creek. Just the brick.

norp posted:It's also amazing how little he has achieved Are there any conservative politicans in recent generations who have? Doing big nation-building stuff like the NDIS or NBN is Labor's bag, the coalition's whole schtick is that everything's fine so no need for change. They do make some changes by tinkering around the edges, i.e. recently introduced Medicare subsidies for genetic screening for couples doing IVF - the only reason I know about that is because it'll directly impact me and my partner, and I assume this is balanced by plenty of other small-scale tinkering around government benefits and subsidies that also makes life worse for other people even if it doesn't make the news. I want to say this is true of state governments as well but I'm not sure - I know Andrews is big on infrastructure with level crossing removals and West gate tunnel etc, but didn't live in Victoria long enough before his election to fairly say the Liberals never built anything.

I was just responding to the Scott Morrison actually heathen mastermind using faith argument, which is really paranoid. If he were that mastermind, at the minimum he'd pick a church that most people don't immediately go "ah those rich cult fuckwits". He believes. Fwiw I'd give a pass to the Morrison government not achieving much this term. No other gov had covid to deal with. Still, lol that their long term list of achievements can fit alongside an arms wid tattoo.

I still remember when they had the Finder street renovation comp, and the public all voted for the one with the nice green space on top you could walk on, and just you know a bit of a pleasant space, and the architecture judge people decided on not exactly the worst, but nearly the worst design that made it to the finals. lick gently caress just give us a place to relax and chill man. I'll be honest, fed squares actually a bit all right for that.

Zetsubou-san posted:lol, scovid Also how absolutely inept and corrupt do you have to be to gently caress up the car parks grants scheme to the extent accomplished by Josh Frydenburg? https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-03-03/cph-liberals-abandon-promised-commuter-car-parks/100878930 Aunty Sherry Fisher-Tilberoo, 49, died of a suspected brain aneurysm in the Brisbane police watch house in the early hours of 10 September 2020 while being held on remand. According to the coroner, police failed to perform adequate physical checks of Fisher-Tiberoo before she died and at a pre-inquest directions hearing the coroner said: “There may be systematic issues with respect to the management of prisoners in watch houses.” The assistant police commissioner Brian Codd announced that an assistant watch house supervisor had been suspended after an internal police investigation into Fisher-Tilberoo’s death. The woman, who is not a sworn police officer, was stood down on full pay for alleged failures of duty “in relation to the performance of physical checks” and “related record keeping”. ISSUES RAISED Medical care required but not all given, procedures not all followed.

End state neoliberalism is literally complete inaction. Nothing can be done, and that's normal. A politician's job is to sit there and give rich people more money.
