The Aussie Trump is really putting his foot in it. Stung by the criticism of his holiday priorities, he has tried to cover his substantial behind with a propaganda video touting all of his firefighting efforts. This has predictably gone over like a lead balloon. How anyone can be this out of touch with normal human sentiment is hard to fathom. What a useless, arrogant blob. Is there no way Australians can stage a recall election, as is done in California? This especially undeserving individual really needs to be booted out of office. The country can’t afford to wait until the next election.

Even Piers Morgan thinks he is a moron:

Wow. A self-promotional commercial with cheesy elevator music? This is one of the most tone-deaf things I’ve ever seen a country’s leader put out during a crisis. Shameless & shameful.

Doesn't mention Scott Morrison directly, but a good video nonetheless.

Quiet Australians

Honest Government Ad

"The Australien Government has made an ad about its transition to authoritarianism, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative."

Morrison Said He's Thankful Nobody Died In Kangaroo Island Bushfire That Killed Two

10 Daily news

Prime Minister Scott Morrison was corrected by locals on Kangaroo Island on Wednesday after telling them he was thankful nobody died.

Standing in a group and speaking quietly, Morrison told residents of the fire-ravaged island: "Well thankfully, we've had no loss of life".

"Two," one person responded. "We've had two."

Looking to another person for confirmation, he quickly backtracked, claiming he meant first responders, not locals.

"Two. Yes, two, that's quite right," he said. "I was thinking about firefighters firstly."

Father and son Dick and Clayton Lang, a bush pilot and plastic surgeon respectively, lost their lives when the massive blaze tore through the island on January 3 - two weeks after it first broke out.

The pair were returning to their family home after spending the past two days fighting a nearby fire.

Dick was found in a burnt-out car near Parndana, while his youngest son was found 200 metres away, on the highway.

A spokeswoman for the Prime Minister's Office said Morrison had been having a conversation about the firefighting efforts when he made the comment.

"He was aware of the two deaths and met with one of the relatives of those who were killed while on the Island," he said.

"The PM noted he was aware of this in his response and has previously expressed condolences for the devastating loss of life on Kangaroo Island," she said.

Celeste Barber calls for Jacinda Ardern to rename Australia 'West New Zealand'

Stuff

Australian comedian Celeste Barber has called for Jacinda Ardern to rename Australia 'West New Zealand'.

Barber is among the many Australians who have praised Ardern's leadership recently, while her Australian counterpart Scott Morrison has come under fire.

Morrison's personal ratings have tumbled over his handling of the country's wildfire crisis.

On Instagram, Barber asked Ardern: "Can you please make us West New Zealand? Can you be our leader and look after us? We need you."

... Despite being a Kiwi, last year Ardern was voted Australia's most trusted politician in a survey which compared politicians' leadership strengths.

An Australian comedy sketch published last year also earned a lot of laughs online as it discussed whether Arden should become Australia's ruler.

In the sketch, comedian Sammy J acts as a commissioner and states that one of the compromises that would have to be made for Ardern to be the prime minister was to accept the pavlova was an Australian invention.

The sole purposes for Morrison to open his mouth is the change feet and expel waste.

Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.

Includes video of ministers joking privately amongst themselves about the lateness of members to a meeting from small Pacific countries.
