Morrison visiting Lismore, no media allowed. Scotty from Photo Opps not allowing photo opps. He's cooked.
On photo opps, just saw an ABC News report about Lismore. Every shot was of ADF personnel in hi-vis vests over their cammos, cleaning up rubbish. The reporter was in Canberra. The footage I am almost certain was shot by the ADF themselves. The reporter in Canberra read from a government briefing as if it were Gospel.
Where's the footage of the planes tipped and turned upside down and dragged 2km from Lismore airport? Where's the footage of the landslides and broken roads. Where are the interviews with those who have trekked all day with 25kg packs on their backs to rescue or supply those cut off from the world? Where are the stories of the community funding 20-odd private helicopters to rescue people and drop supplies?
Australia's media is betraying its people almost as badly as its government is.

How many of those jobs are full time? how many are part time or casual? They are the most pertinent questions, it's all very to spout the Governments rhetoric of "so many jobs & people don't want to work" etc. but would you work for $15/hour or so & only get 4 or 5 hrs of work a week.
I really doubt it
No doubt his press office were told by his normally friendly media that they would be asking questions he doesn't want to answer so they banned media.
Also no doubt his personal photographer on hand to take happy snaps of the PM looking concerned, talking to ADF, looking sternly at maps.
He's supposedly holding a press conference in Lismore soon. But no cameras were allowed when he visited a farm.
Guess we'll see soon enough if his personal snapper was there
But he'll probably miss any shots where the locals refuse to shake SloMo's hand or abuse him
He’s gonna announce a national emergency and immediately release $100M from the disaster fund for a new community hall, with carpark, in Kooyong
'Natural' disasters is carefully crafted spin. Nah mate this ain't natural.Iit's man made climate change due to fossil fuels. Enough of your mob's BS. Time to go Smirko.
Reckon the "good old aussie spirit and looking after your mates" will get a run.
He'll just explain it away & go on a 10 minute word salad rant. We already know how seriously this mob take the war on climate.
FFS the people affected by the fires in Victoria are still waiting for their money Scott..
I'm watching his presser. He's used 'natural disaster' many times.
He finally got one. His response was to boast about net zero by 2050, repeat unchallenged the accounting lie that we have reduced emissions by 20%, topped off with the conservative whinge that why should we do anything when these developing countries continue to emit.
What a leader.
