Reference :- Former Australian Commissioner to the Solomon islands , Trevor Sofield, has been manhandled by Scomo's security police .

Reference :- Trevor Sofield was a High Commissioner in a previous Liberal government , but that doesn't mean he is allowed to talk with Scott Morrison during a public meeting on the campaign trail . 

Dear Scott Morrison's Security Team , 

For the love of God , how are you expected to do your job properly if you can't shove an old bloke around when he asks permission to speak ?  That shoving about looked very respectful , and I reckon the old bloke had a hide expecting to get special treatment just because he is a retired High Commissioner .  We live in a democracy where citizens enjoy equal rights , and he should be shoved around just the same as any other 75 year old with a PhD and an Honors Degree . 

The last thing Mr Morrison needs is some overqualified academic with years of experience in the Solomon Islands asking stupid questions while he is buttering up the unwashed in a swinging seat . 

Fortunately most of the media have missed this awkward moment , but if it does surface somewhere in the dying days of the campaign and Mr Morrison is asked to comment , I suggest he respond by saying ..

" Well that's a lie . It never happened . " 

If actual footage of the said " shoving about " is shown to him , he can say ...

" Well I never asked anybody to do that . That's not my job . " 

Furthermore , if somebody says that Mr Sofield found the "shoving about " traumatic  , and asks whether  Mr Morrison will apologize and speak with him,  Mr Morrison should say...

" Look , I understand that a " shoving about " can be traumatic , and he has my sympathy . But I can assure you that my government is committed to listening to voters . We are not like the Labor party , who think they have the answers for everything but only put up taxes and power prices . " 

And if a particularly persistent journalist says  " But will you apologize and talk with Mr Sofeld  ? " , Mr Morrison should say ....

  " I believe I have just answered that question . " 

Of course , this is simply Mr Morrison's standard recipe for dealing with the free ( for the moment ) press. 

However,  he has a lot on his plate at the moment so he might appreciate some help from a well wisher as election day looms . 

Your comrade , Ken 

 P.S .  If you see former Liberal  Cabinet Minister Brendan Nelson about , shove him away from Mr Morrison as well . He might let the cat out of the bag regarding  the fact that it was him , and not Labor's Kevin Rudd who originally opposed the QUAD security agreement .  Mr Morrison specifically accused Kevin Rudd of making that mistake  , and a week from the election there are only so many lies he  can defend .
