Speaker 1: Right, Let's clear this up once and for all. Yes,
Speaker 1: no question time here on Perth today.
Speaker 2: The poll is open and it is relating to the
Speaker 2: King's birthday honors speaking acknowledged via public holidays in a
Speaker 2: number of the Eastern States this Monday. But this relates
Speaker 2: to the former Prime Minister Scott Morrison.
Speaker 1: You will hear that he has been given the.
Speaker 2: Top honor a Companion of the Order of Australia, for
Speaker 2: his eminent service to the people in the Australian parliaments,
Speaker 2: noting his contributions to his leadership of the national COVID
Speaker 2: nineteen response, his economic initiatives, and his work on national security,
Speaker 2: especially through leadership of Australia's contribution to ORCUS. And I ask,
Speaker 2: does Scott Morrison deserve his AC one double three eight
Speaker 2: eighty two? Does Scott Morrison des he's AC for his
Speaker 2: leadership through COVID. He's a few little memories from those
Speaker 2: COVID years and Scomo's leadership. Let's take you back to
Speaker 2: March twenty twenty.
Speaker 3: Life is changing in Australia, as it is changing all
Speaker 3: around the world. Life is going to continue to change
Speaker 3: as we deal with the global corona virus. This is
Speaker 3: once in one hundred year type event.
Speaker 4: We haven't seen this sort of thing in Australia since
Speaker 4: the end of the First World War. But together we
Speaker 4: are of course up to this challenge, all Australians. But
Speaker 4: we just need to continue to keep our heads focusing
Speaker 4: on the right information, making good decisions, helping and supporting
Speaker 4: each other each and every day to make the changes
Speaker 4: that are very necessary as we deal with this very
Speaker 4: real situation. Stage one would see that in enclosed spaces
Speaker 4: for gatherings in the following facilities to be closed as
Speaker 4: of midday tomorrow, registered and licensed clubs, licensed premises in
Speaker 4: hotels and pubs, entertainment venues and cinemas, casinos and nightclubs,
Speaker 4: restaurants and cafes will be restricted to take away only
Speaker 4: indoor sporting venues. Places of worship in closed spaces for
Speaker 4: funerals and things of that nature will have to follow
Speaker 4: the strict four square meter which will be enforced by
Speaker 4: m deeply regretful that those workers and those business owners
Speaker 4: who will be impacted by this decision will suffer the
Speaker 4: economic hardship that undoubt they now have to face.
Speaker 3: So by no later the midnight tomorrow, that's eleven fifty
Speaker 3: nine pm Saturday, States and Trails Territories will be quarantining
Speaker 3: all arrivals through our airports, in hotels and other accommodation
Speaker 3: facilities for the two weeks of their mandatory self isolation
Speaker 3: before they are able to return to their home. Now
Speaker 3: on bolt purchasing of supplies, stop hoarding.
Speaker 4: I can't be more blunt about it. Stop it.
Speaker 3: It's not sensible, it's not helpful, and I've got to
Speaker 3: say it's been one of the most disappointing things I've
Speaker 3: seen in Australian behavior in response to this crisis.
Speaker 2: Does Scott Morrison deserve he is AAC for his leadership
Speaker 2: through COVID one double three eight point eighty two.
Speaker 1: Nick says no.
Speaker 2: The only thing that clown should be awarded is in
Speaker 2: order of in competency. He's the reason that we now
Speaker 2: have albow. Gary's a hell no. Chris says yes, because
Speaker 2: job Keeper and the small business cash flow Boosts was
Speaker 2: a strategy that saved many of my clients during covid
Speaker 2: Rai's a no AC for Morrison, the stealth Minister for everything,
Speaker 2: he was a deceitful mongrel. Scott says yes, yes, yes, Ollie,
Speaker 2: And is it definitely yes? Richard's a yes. And as
Speaker 2: you heard that little memory package, it started so well,
Speaker 2: didn't it, the cooperative spirits that you thought everyone and
Speaker 2: every single state was on board Team Australia until the
Speaker 2: Labor premiers realized they could wedge the federal governments. And
Speaker 2: with that and I reckon the goodwill that our governments
Speaker 2: had tarnished with the Australian people probably will never recover,
Speaker 2: never be the same. Yes, job seek and oz study,
Speaker 2: welfare payments increase, job keeper help businesses keep their doors open.
Speaker 1: But this practice of awarding leaders.
Speaker 2: With King's birthday honors, you'll recall it was Mart McGowan
Speaker 2: and Daniel Andrews last year.
Speaker 1: Now Scott Morrison in twenty twenty five. Hey, thanks.
Speaker 2: After the aftermath those multiple ministeries scandals where he secretly
Speaker 2: appointed himself to five portfolios but he didn't tell the
Speaker 2: ministers or the public for that matter, doesn't really fly,
Speaker 2: does it? One double three eight eighty two. It is
Speaker 2: our yes no on Perth today this Monday. Does Scott
Speaker 2: Morrison deserve his ac for his leadership through COVID one
Speaker 2: double three eight eighty two and he spoke with Ben
Speaker 2: Fordham on our sister station two GB just a short
Speaker 2: time ago.
Speaker 5: Well it's a very humbly mate, and you're just very
Speaker 5: very grateful, I mean to have had the privilege to
Speaker 5: serve as Prime Minister.
Speaker 6: And particular at an.
Speaker 5: Incredibly challenging time.
Speaker 7: We really hadn't seen the combination of forces, whether they'd
Speaker 7: be natural disaster, as pandemics, threats of China, you name it.
Speaker 7: They threw it all at us and the Australian people
Speaker 7: were amazing and so you know, it's what we're able
Speaker 7: to achieve goes down to their great strength and resilience.
Speaker 7: So I'm very grateful to them.
Speaker 1: You also were keen on kids staying in school.
Speaker 7: You didn't win that argument, but I'll tell you what,
Speaker 7: if we had our time again, I wish we had
Speaker 7: have listened to that advice.
Speaker 5: Well, thankfully some states did, like in South Australia, Stephen
Speaker 5: Marshall did a great job there and it was also
Speaker 5: true in West Australia and Northern Territory, and so yeah,
Speaker 5: it was an issue of great debate, and I think
Speaker 5: that's one of the misunderstood things about the national cabinet
Speaker 5: we'd agree on everything, and every state had the right
Speaker 5: because they had the constitutional authority to make whatever decisions
Speaker 5: they did. National cabinet tried to bring that together as
Speaker 5: much as possible and we had those arguments. We have
Speaker 5: proud like any normal cabinet, and we didn't always on anything,
Speaker 5: and certainly on our kids staying home from school. That
Speaker 5: was one thing I never supported and I think it
Speaker 5: was a shame that that happened, but that's it. Look,
Speaker 5: you know, it was a global pandemic. There's no rule
Speaker 5: book for that. We had a preparedness plan going in
Speaker 5: which we followed, and that said, you know, Australia came
Speaker 5: out of it stronger, both from a health perspective and
Speaker 5: an economic perspective, more than any other major developed country
Speaker 5: in the world, and that is a great credit to Australians.
Speaker 1: Theresa.
Speaker 2: Does Scott Morrison deserve his ac for his leadership through COVID.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Good.
Speaker 8: Morning, that mongrel breed? Where did it come from? I'd
Speaker 8: go through an A for an A.
Speaker 2: You never liked him as PM or he didn't like
Speaker 2: what he did through the COVID years, Theresa.
Speaker 8: I don't like what he did for these poor people
Speaker 8: of Australia. And also what he didn't do nothing for
Speaker 8: the COVID people, all right, and he thought of himself.
Speaker 2: Pretty strong thoughts there from Terresa. Thank you for calling out.
Speaker 2: Jill says, it's not a very fair question you've asked
Speaker 2: this morning, Olie, because there is nobody and there is
Speaker 2: nothing to compare with. Scott Morrison was the only Australian
Speaker 2: Prime minister who had to govern through a pandemic. Who
Speaker 2: knows how albaneze you would have coped. And for Jill's thoughts,
Speaker 2: she thinks he did a pretty good job. Linda is
Speaker 2: saying definitely a yes from me. He did the best
Speaker 2: anyone could do in those very difficult times and he
Speaker 2: got us through. Tony says, yes, I guess he does.
Speaker 2: He took the most part of the exercise of compliance.
Speaker 2: Most of us were sucked into that vortex and we
Speaker 2: failed big time. The elites were the ones who pulled
Speaker 2: the strings, and we were the ones who danced one
Speaker 2: double three eight eighty two to Scott Morrison deserve his
Speaker 2: ac Good morning, Darren, Yeah, good morning mate.
Speaker 9: I believe so Australia was nine hundred and seventy billion
Speaker 9: dollars in debt when he committed another one hundred and
Speaker 9: sixty billion dollars that we didn't have for job Keeper,
Speaker 9: which basically explains why immigration went through the roof and
Speaker 9: we were being told no international flights coming in or
Speaker 9: out Australia. Australians wouldn't have been at the airport to
Speaker 9: greet their loved ones, so we didn't see how many
Speaker 9: immigrants they brought in, which caused a house shortage, second
Speaker 9: and car shortage. It destroyed the lower end earners, taxpayers,
Speaker 9: blue collar workers, destroyed them to the point of a
Speaker 9: lot of them losing the house as a lot of
Speaker 9: them being homeless. Also also for someone to try and
Speaker 9: gain votes from it, because that was the whole reason
Speaker 9: for it was votes. Nothing to do with the well
Speaker 9: being of this country because he left us in a nasty.
Speaker 8: Nasti place.
Speaker 2: So Darren doy, you also put that on the sholders
Speaker 2: of the state's premiers, So McGowan, Palachet, Daniel Andrews who
Speaker 2: was gladys Bury gically in Dominic Perrete in New South Wales.
Speaker 9: Not at all. They're the ones that were on the
Speaker 9: front line dealing with their states and how they wanted
Speaker 9: their states to protect it. Some did a better job
Speaker 9: than others, obviously, but Scott Morrison is all prime ministers.
Speaker 9: He's a puppet for the rest. But to actually nationally
Speaker 9: commit this country to something we couldn't afford, and basically
Speaker 9: to sell out the country to afford it has left
Speaker 9: us like all politicians mate, at the time they're making
Speaker 9: these decisions, they think they're brilliant. Once the decisions made
Speaker 9: and they've left with their pension, they're just off to
Speaker 9: go and live in the pastures where all here still
Speaker 9: suffering from their choices. Man, and it's just when is
Speaker 9: his country as people going to stand up against these
Speaker 9: pocket lining thieves.
Speaker 2: All right, Darren, you've had a good go, I'd say,
Speaker 2: if you're going to condemn him to the extreme that
Speaker 2: you have, you should also look at some of the
Speaker 2: measures that the state premier has made and some of
Speaker 2: the decisions that they may keeping Australian separated from others
Speaker 2: who might live in other states or couldn't come home
Speaker 2: here to wa unless they are able to kick a footy,
Speaker 2: or they had billions of dollars in their own pockets.
Speaker 2: Brendan says, Goomo had the portfolio skill handle. He also
Speaker 2: annoyed the biggest population in the world with the origin comments.
Speaker 2: But hey, let's give him a higher honor. A brad
Speaker 2: says leadership. Don't you mean a dictatorship? It is a
Speaker 2: solid no from me. Mates, and Rogo Debt the worst
Speaker 2: prime minister ever, one double three, a toty two to
Speaker 2: Scott Morrison deserve his a C for his leadership through COVID.
Speaker 1: What do you think, Steve?
Speaker 6: Absolutely? I'm actually now you know why you got Albo
Speaker 6: back in with a thirty five percent or less primary
Speaker 6: vote at the last election because of all these people
Speaker 6: calling in thinking that Morrison was a dictator. Did he
Speaker 6: mandate vaccines? Mate? He didn't, did he?
Speaker 1: So you give him a yes?
Speaker 6: He put give him a yes. He put on job keeper.
Speaker 6: He got called to spend even more money by all
Speaker 6: the labor governments. Yeah, these guys are calling in gown.
Speaker 6: He spent too much. I reckon. Some people in this
Speaker 6: joint need to look in the mirror and give themselves
Speaker 6: a good shape. Mate, because that job keeper went on
Speaker 6: too long and labor were calling for more. We would
Speaker 6: have been under house arrest. If albow. If there's another
Speaker 6: pandemic and we've got a labor prime minister, we'll be
Speaker 6: under house arrest. What Victoria was, Olli, The whole country
Speaker 6: will mate, all right. People need to understand that because
Speaker 6: socialism is communism and that's what will happen if we
Speaker 6: have a labor prime minister and we have another pandemic.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Steve Olli, you're scribing the barrel reckons Lou
Speaker 2: with this question. I'd love all yournovodas to be put
Speaker 2: in the position and see what they would do differently.
Speaker 1: So God help us shane those says.
Speaker 2: No, anyone that pushed the narrative and the vaccination mandate
Speaker 2: should be charged, not rewarded. It's my opinion, it always
Speaker 2: has been and absolutely not reckons. Jimbo of Kiara not
Speaker 2: a self serving political hack with the moral compass of
Speaker 2: a sleazy salesman.
