WE HAVE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE

Abbott’s plan is as sneaky as you could get…move left ….move left. Was it the party room grumble he heard? Was it the possibility that Credlin might be sullied by the corruption commission’s outing of her husband Brian and all this was too close to home. When you have Brandis, Hockey and Abetz all caught with their feet in their mouths it’s not a good look. Especially being caught standing next to them and having to publicly correct them. Mind you the old saying “you know who your friends are but keep your enemies closer” comes to mind. So the quick shift to Malcolm territory the defacto head of Labour . Despite the fact that Malcolm was seen boozing it up with Clive yet again the other day Andrew Bolt kept shtum for Team Australia or  silent because he was pissed at Tony.

The shock jocks of the right are in trouble. They are going to have to move with Tony,but how far? It would be ironic if too far and looked  left of the ABC.  Though bruised by Abbott dropping the move against section 18C  of the Racial Discrimination Act Andrew Bolt praised Abbott for his ‘tactical and political pragmatism’, Bolt said “he had no option. He had to do something. He had to cut his losses” Bolt claimed the minority migrant push and the leftist media forced his hand. Abbott needed what would seem  a good trade off. What  better than national unity for national security. Bolt still has Climate, Islam, the Constitution,  all the old regulars issues  as long as he polishes Tony with them and doesn’t use them against him.

Let’s face it they are falling apart and unravelling. It’s now revealed that  the war on people smugglers, boats and Sovereign borders is patently a ruse. The largest people smuggling organisation is in fact and always has been the Immigration Department. It’s not  just a pair of rogue Indian public servants either. Scott Morrison has been only a figure head for political gain  used, employed, and suckered to keep the attention on a few hapless boat people when millions of dollars were streaming through our front doors along with countless unidentified people. Those coming by boat were  cargo class, pennies and cents passengers compared the money  spent coming through the front door. Any wonder the Immigration Department had become the ‘No information Department’.The Bunsen burner should have been on the belly of the Howard government who started using asylum seekers as a diversion for political gain while closing a blind eye to the development of the real smuggling industry and allowing it to flourish. People on false passports false visas 80% of applications lies. For that alone Scott Morrison needs to go his unwavering  attitude to those really suffering was helping the people smuggling industry.  He should go. He became minister and took no notice of the department he was running.

To finish up .Unemployment has gone up and what do we hear from Abetz “it’s not a government ministers job to predict the future” Then why does the government always use forward estimates to justify itself or to lampoon the opposition? How do governments formulate policy without prediction and trying to second guess the unintended  consequences. Why is so much money being spent on consultative advice? Brandis is just as bad suggesting his comment “bigots should be allowed to be bigots” was just rhetoric as in some school debate and therefore didn’t reflect on the government. It’s the public that got it wrong. I really do wish Sophie Mirabella had won her seat  we’d have been assured this government would not have survived the year.
