#ScottMorrison has ‘not a drop of mercy for all of the real victims of #robodebt’: Bill Shorten

#NDIS minister #BillShorten continued speaking on the robodebt scheme and Scott Morrison’s response yesterday:

The member for Cook then said the royal commission was a quasi-legal process, a new Morrisonian doctrine about the law.

The royal commission was not quasi-legal, it is real and constituted by the law. 46 days of public hearings, over 100 witnesses under oath.

I can see the Member for Cook lip-syncing something …
The Member for Cook is a bottomless well of self-pity and not a drop of mercy for all of the real victims of robodebt. #auspol

#BillShorten has hit back at #ScottMorrison for his defence of his role in the #robodebt program.

“Mr Morrison’s version is we were all co-convenors. That wasn’t the case.

The opposition didn’t know the government was making stuff up and didn’t have lawful authority.

This bloke has more front than Myers – according to him it’s everyone’s fault but him. He blames his department, he says the real problems emerged in 2016/17 [when Morrison was no longer social services minister], he blames the opposition, he blames #ACOSS.”

Shorten said that the “people who broke the law were the Coalition government”, and noted that Labor raised issues when constituents complained they had received incorrect debts.

On Monday Morrison told the House of Representatives that while he acknowledged the “regrettable unintended consequences” of the scheme, he “completely rejects” the adverse findings against him.

I have just read what is possibly the most laughable attempt at criticising a sitting politician.

The Honourable Peter Dutton has just referred to The Honourable Bill Shorten as "a political animal" in an attempt to criticise his comments about the Robodebt Royal Commission.

Hello? Sitting politician? Generally accepted that they are *expected* to be political?

In other news, water is wet, sky is blue in daytime when there are no clouds.

@barrettytweets It sickens me that #billshorten has kept people who look upon the most vulnerable as protagonists while the private companies who siphon the money and don’t provide good service get off scott free. #ndis #robodebt

#StuartRobert glares contemptuously at #BillShorten BL squints dislike. More like hatred in those eyes. If looks could kill. Easy to read what he’s thinking however, the arrogance is still there. #BillShorten

#StuartRobert EYEBLOCKS #BillShorten BL nervous, troubled, attempts to block out what is in front of him, what he’s hearing. Emotional struggle. This phenomenon is often seen with liars and stress. Robert tilts head to appear submissive, innocent, smaller and less threatening.

#SenatorJordonSteeleJohn always good value on #QandA
#BillShorten on point about investment vs "cost"

#StuartRobert replies to #BillShorten BL rubs hands, anticipating a positive outcome, self pacifying. Fake courage displays smile with two rows teeth showing. Brows raised, eyes wide, lying. Drops mask, head down, eyes up threatened, pursed lips anger, defensive, aggressive, contempt. Arrogance.

Brows up, lying.
Drops mask head down eyes up threatens, pursed lips anger, defensive, aggressive, contempt. Arrogance.

If we damned #Australians,
For we are damned with these #redSkies,
Went to war on #climateChange,
Over abetting #warmerica,
Maybe we'd not be so #damned.

But we chose to do nothing during the #KRudd coup,
Chose to elect #corporatist tossers,
To imprison and #torture #journalists,
And ridicule a crying #Swedish girl.
