Reference : - Australia rates 25th in the world for freedom of the press , one below Namibia . So why would we be surprised ?
Dear Mr Morrison ,
That was a wise decision , staying home with Covid , but sadly you can't stay holed up forever . Ken junior reckons you should say that you have now come down with a dose of leprosy , and have to remain isolated , but I don't think you will get away with a health excuse twice .
As you are no doubt aware , preventing the media ( the spiteful lot ) from snapping polaroids while the great unwashed ( literally ) spit and shout at you , is not going to save your bacon . Thousands of people will have mobile phone cameras , while the batteries last , and will post all manner of unfavorable images and reports on the interweb , as I believe it is called .
It's a shame you didn't have a chance to push through all your tough new legislation to prevent online bullying . Obviously your main concern was to prevent children from being harassed , but it would have come in useful to protect the dignity of your office on occasions such as this .
Anyway Mr Morrison , at least you are not facing arduous responsibilities and voter backlash alone . Thankfully you have Senator Bridget McKenzie at your side . With her sports rorts portfolio long forgotten , she can now concentrate on her new role as Minister for total disasters and stuff ups . And by far the worst disaster is the one you face in the forthcoming election .
I see she has kept her coloured marking pens from the sports rorts days , and is already allocating relief funds to the most deserving using her time honored technique . Clearly you have an obligation to throw money at the seats you need to hold in the next election . Where is the sense in giving relief money to folk who won't vote for you ?
Although , Ken junior has made an interesting point . Even a Labor electorate still has plenty of LNP voters . These folk and their relatives all around the country will be displeased if they are unfairly treated . Not good for the polls , Mr Morrison , not good . So don't forget to blame the states for not managing the floods competently . And stop mentioning dams . That makes Ms McKenzie a sitting duck for a new barrage of jokes calling her the minister for dam scams .
Thankfully the world is preoccupied with war , including the possibility of nuclear ( nukeyala to you ) war . This will fill a lot of air time on the media , and give you at least some breathing space , thank God .
Your comrade , Ken
