The Liar has repeatedly underlined his own problem in public. Because his personality is a lie, he only knows how to lie, and the truth strikes him as falsehood.
Hence, rather than pursue the bedrock of the national interest, sound policy process and governing, the Liar expends his energy on forcing more lies onto a polity that has a better grasp of reality than he does.
The Liar’s pathological performance art takes the form of propaganda like this:
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has been criticised for making a “shameless” political appearance at the Bathurst 1000.
The most famous race in Australian motorsport got underway on Sunday and the Prime Minister was in the thick of the action, touring pit lane and even posing for photos in one of the Supercars in the garage.
And if you don’t curry favour with such stunts then expect this:
Diary has learnt Sneesby – joined for the meeting with ScoMo by his publishing boss James Chessell, along with two prime ministerial advisers including the PM’s media chief Andrew Carswell – was offered a full and frank opinion by Morrison about Nine’s columnists at The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age. The PM allegedly told Sneesby his columnists were too “tough” on him. The Nine camp is adamant “no concessions” were made in response.
As usual, while the Liar lies, his sleazebag MPs are busy trashing the joint:
Northern Territory senator Sam McMahon has been accused of trying to physically punch one of her Nationals party colleagues in a Canberra pub.
Witnesses told Sky News Senator McMahon took “multiple swings” at Jonathan Hawkes, the Nationals’ federal director, during the party’s Christmas drinks on Thursday night.
Senator McMahon had allegedly been drinking at the event with fellow MPs and staffers when she allegedly took three or four swings at Mr Hawkes.
I suppose we should be thankful they took it outside of Parliament House. All that civility training we’re paying for is reaping dividends.
Was it over the division of pork? Pissed at their latest cut of corruption? Upset about not being invited to another staffer orgy? Angry at the endless border lockdowns thanks to total pandemic mismanagement? Outraged that making the planet habitable might cost a farmer ten cents. Unsettled by the total collapse of all truth?
Nah. My guess is they were into a stink over who got to joyride at Bathurst.
Anyways, as the Liar spent the weekend lying about lying, Newspoll gave us the truth that he just can’t shake:
Somehow the Liar has squandered an unassailable pandemic political gift and put an empty chair into favouritism as his replacement.
I guess that if the Big Liar is inept enough, then the truth will out.
