Peter Dutton and Tony Abbott once again prove stupider than the root vegetables they resemble/consume respectively

Peter Dutton Caught Joking About Pacific Islands' Rising Sea Levels
46 minutes ago | Updated 16 minutes ago

CANBERRA -- Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Immigration Minister have been caught on camera laughing over rising sea levels and tardiness in Indigenous communities.
The pair with Social Services Minister Scott Morrison were chatting in front of the media in parliament house, while waiting for a community meeting on Syrian refugees to convene.
As it was running late, Dutton noted the meeting was running to “Cape York time”, a reference to the Prime Minister’s recent trip to the Torres Strait and remote northern Queensland.
Abbott replied "we had a bit of that up in Port Moresby.”
The Dutton then raised laughs by adding "time doesn't mean anything when you're about to have water lapping at your door.”
Abbott has just returned from Papua New Guinea’s capital, where the Pacific Island Leaders Forum debated the regional effects and local action on climate change.
Pacific Island nations are concerned about rising seas levels and have pleaded with Australia to help them.
Asked later what he meant by the water lapping quip, Dutton said it was a "private conversation with the Prime Minister and I don't have anything to say further to that.”
Late in the exchange, Morrison draws his colleague’s attention to the large television microphone hovering over their heads.
“There is a boom up there,” he noted.
The Prime Minister’s Office has been sought for comment.

Unfortunately it's not quite a slam dunk. Dutton could spin it as talking about those waterfront hotels/houses, etc rather than about climate change.

I think people with half a brain will know exactly what he meant and spin will only make him look even shittier, and those without half a brain were always going to vote LNP.

This is amazing:

No. 1 They're admitting to Climate Change being a real thing
No. 2 They're joking about peoples misfortune when Climate Change takes effect
No. 3 They're doing fk all about Climate Change.

And it's all recorded. Wow.

Am I misreading this? The fact that they are number 2 doesn't actually matter when it comes to preferences as the advantage of being high on the ballot is that you collect the donkey votes. These votes won't flow through to Labor due to this preference deal. The only voters that will be affected by this preference deal are people that are intentionally voting for the lib dems and get their how to vote card and then decide to follow the advice.

So it turns out that an 'australian jihadist' was actually an american idiot engaging in next level trolling to the point where he's instructing people on how to build bombs and encouraging attacks.

The ABC page with the video has been updated to include a clip of Dutton simply refusing to explain what he meant because it was a private conversation. I'm trying to strangle him through the internet but it's just not working.

it will also presumably fool a few absent minded liberal voters into picking them by accident the same way it did in the last federal election. its an idiotic perversion of democracy but its also sorta funny so who am i to complain

In conversations with Fairfax Media, which were also cited in the affidavit, Mr Goldberg had said he did not expect any jihadist to actually carry out an attack because: "These guys are pussy keyboard warriors".

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

With the latest nonsense going up here this week (Pauline Hanson getting called on her bullshit claims) I had a look to see what had been going on with the splitsbro group that formed immediately after the pathetic rallies, which made me smile

http://www.gofundme.com/AAIfund-raiser

Oh, and Pauline's response to lying to the public and being asked to apologise by the (credit where credit is due) LNP minister?

Sorry, not sorry

Oh, and this statement here?

quote:

The discussion reportedly included stories of schoolyard bullying by one "female Muslim refugee student", threats of assault from young male refugee students towards other children and female staff, and a softened approach towards poorly behaved refugee students that would otherwise result in suspension for others.

There really shits me, because based on that statement, it can only be a single student in the school. Nice one.
