Reference :- Australia Post CEO Christine Holgate bought a few Cartier watches for her staff .
Well Mr Morrison , sir , to use one of the least clever expressions invented in recent times , this Cartier watch scandal has " bad optics " . I have to hand it to you , for taking this opportunity to get everybody all wound up , and save face at the same time . And as you say , Ms Holgate deserves a firm ticking off . Those flash watches only cost a paltry 20,000 quid , which is peanuts compared with the 30 million over-payment to those LNP donors who flogged you some land for the Western Sydney Airport . Or the recent 100 million sports grants rort . But what a timely gift this scandal is .
You have had little to say about the airport and sports rorts , and fair enough . The vicissitudes of sums so large are difficult to comprehend , but everybody can get cheesed off about the overpriced and tasteless watches that the privileged enjoy flaunting .
And Mr Morrison , sir , did you see that Ms Holgate herself wears a Bulgari watch costing 48,000 quid ? I had never heard of the " Bulgari " brand myself , and when Ken junior told me about it , I thought he called it a " Vulgari " watch . That is certainly a lot to spend on a fragile timepiece when many folk can't afford a decent meal .
Anyway , you should continue expressing your alarm regarding this disgraceful timepiece scandal and it will usefully distract folk from the many megamillion quid rorts and ripoffs that have floated to the surface of the political cesspool recently .
You can keep everybody wound up about this until something else springs to mind .
Your comrade , Ken
