That, and his Holiday in Hawaii as we were choking on soot.

It's much worse than that. the holiday in Hawaii was a lie. He was in NY for the opening of a new church.

Instead of giving a statement to the press saying "Sorry, I'm in New York for an event with my church. I'll be on the first plane home" the Government pretended he hadn't left the country and he made a stopover in Hawaii on the way home so photos could be "leaked" of him "being a dad and spending time with his kids during the school holidays".

The Australian public were having none of it.

Very few people would have a problem if he went with the actual truth of "Sorry, I'm in New York for an event with my church. I'll be on the first plane home" but hey, liars gotta lie!

I mean it's one car, Alec. What could it cost? Ten dollars?

Onya Scotty!

crises during his term, including the COVID pandemic and Black Summer bushfires.

My favourite moment during your heroic handling of the bushfires was when you tried to shake that firefighter's hand and he said "No! I don't want to shake your hand" so you lurked around behind him and said "HOwZ THe CUPPA!!!!"

We should all leave our soiled pants out for Scotty tonight.

That's how it works at restaurants and cafés outside of the USA, or at least how it used to work.

Outside the USA, when the bill is paid with cash, the customer will keep any notes from the change given and the coins are left on the table, it's not much, but a token show of appreciation.

Now that cash is rarely used, tips are pretty much never given unless it's something unusual, like a work function or something else where the staff have a little more to concentrate on than they normally would.

I know I'm commenting from different country, but the following quote by a judge in Australia is always worth keeping in the back of your head if you manage to get let off a serious crime...

Having escaped the lion’s den, Mr Lehrmann made the mistake of coming back for his hat

That was a line said by a judge in Australia during his conclusion of a very high profile rape case.

The story,

Bruce Lehrmann faced charges of rape. This case was very big in Australia because the rape occurred in an office at Parliament House and the government covered it up because there was an election coming up.

The criminal trial was abandoned because the case was having a very detrimental effect on the victim's mental health.

Later, Bruce Lehrmann sued a number of journalists for defamation... And lost... So now Bruce Lehrmann is forever branded a rapist. The judge delivered the above quote during his final decision.

More than just one of our recent fuckwit prime ministers

You know the little shithead did that on purpose, don't you?

Haha, yeah! It's actually a little depressing to be reminded of his severe lack of leadership qualities.

Regardless of what I think of their policies, every other prime minister has had the leadership skills expected of the role they filled... Except Scotty who was nothing more than an incurious robot masquerading as a daggy dad.

Every former prime minister had a lot of great things to say about Antony Green except Morrison who used a lot of words to say absolutely nothing.

He said Antony was a professional 3 times. I knew a guy who was a church minister and he talked a lot, but never really said much because he said everything 3 times. I think they teach them that at church... Tell them what you will say, tell it to them and then tell them what you just said.

There's plenty of time for Rupert and the drop-kicks at the IPA to come up with a new strategy. Dunno if they will ever come up with anything as successful as they did in 2013, though
