Reference :- Energy Minister , Mr Angus Taylor , accused Sydney Mayor , Clover Moore , of wasting an enormous sum of money on staff travel. But the figure he quoted was very wrong , and a police investigation is underway . Mr Morrison stood by Mr Taylor in parliament today .
It is a bit messy , isn't it gentlemen ? And an annoying distraction when the business of the day is to bury the unions in an unmarked grave using legislation nobody has had the time to read properly .
What were the numbers again? Angus quoted 15 million , and the true figure is 6 thousand or thereabouts , I seem to recall . Quite an error for somebody with a PhD in economics . In this instance , as I said in a previous post , why not give Angus a break and just call it staggering incompetence ? I mean , an error that big is the same as saying a 6 dollar Big Mac cost 15 thousand dollars , and an economist should know better . But let's not waste valuable police time with an investigation. There is no shortage of dodgy grifters to keep them busy . Obviously you can't have him running a portfolio that requires arithmetic , and since the Energy Minister has lots of numbers to deal with , there would need to be a minor reshuffle .
I wonder , Mr Morrison , is Mr Les Patterson still Minister for the Arts ? If so , he must be getting a tad long in the tooth by now , and would probably be happy to step down and give poor Angus a go. Though Les obviously keeps to himself these days , as soon as you mention that in- depth probing you are sure to get his attention . My son , Ken junior , sends Angus his best wishes . He says that should it come to that , an in-depth probing isn't actually as bad as it sounds once you have decided to run with it .
Your comrade , Ken
