You can always gauge LNP desperation when the John Howard human shield is rolled out:
John Howard says Scott Morrison’s internal Coalition critics are “consumed” by personal grievances but agreed that Liberal Party members should choose their candidates, amid fury over how the Prime Minister and his allies have controlled preselections for the coming election.
…But Mr Howard said he strongly believed party members should choose candidates for lower and upper house seats through plebiscites – rather than installing candidates by head office factional deals, as is happening in several key NSW seats.
Wasn’t it “Honest” John Howard that parachuted preselection loser, Scott Morrison, into the seat of Cook!
Anyways, it is desperation. Just because somebody is angry doesn’t mean they are wrong and it is entirely obvious that Scott Morrison is “unfit” to be PM, is a “psycho” and a “bully”, not to mention a “liar and hypocrite”. All descriptions from his own party members, not all of whom had any grievance.
Any time Morrison is around real people the truth pours out of his every orifice in full view of the public. He literally can’t go out unless the entire event is choreographed to within an inch of its life:
Morrison’s own party is suing his arse off:
In an application, seen on Wednesday by Guardian Australia, the Liberal applicants including Morrison and Perrottet have asked for the entire case to be removed from the NSW supreme court to the high court.
They asked for the proceeding to be expedited, with a hearing to be listed on Thursday, to answer questions including whether courts have jurisdiction to hear intra-party disputes, which the applicants argued were “important points of law” that needed to be settled.
The application notes that on 6 March the committee endorsed Hawke in Mitchell, Ley in Farrer and Zimmerman in North Sydney, but Camenzuli sought to challenge the preselections in the supreme court.
“The validity of a large number of additional party preselections depends upon the outcome of the present dispute,” they said.
The applicants noted the matter is listed before NSW court of appeal Justice John Basten on Thursday, but said the hearing is “unlikely to go ahead” due to constitutional issues in the case.
The applicants warned if the high court doesn’t hear the case, the unsuccessful parties in any NSW court of appeal case would likely appeal to the high court anyway.
At an urgent hearing on Wednesday morning, the counsel for Camenzuli, Scott Robertson, said it was now urgent that the court rule on whether the actions of the federal branch of the Liberal party were lawful.
Camenzuli alleges that the committee, appointed by the federal party to run the affairs of the NSW party, and which included Morrison, Perrottet and the former party president Chris McDiven, acted beyond its powers.
Robertson told Basten that as federal parliament could be dissolved by the weekend and an election called, the case needed to be resolved as a matter of urgency
Basten said the NSW court of appeal stood ready to hear the case on Thursday.
The LNP is falling apart from the inside out because PM Morrison runs the single most corrupt, inept and politicised government of my lifetime over a path paved with corpses.
Frankly, it’s time John Howard broke ranks and put the national interest ahead of his ruined party.
