It’s very evident<\/span> @ScottMorrisonMP<\/a><\/span>‘s office & Liberal party HQ have been leaking to the media about Christine Holgate for some time now.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Passive aggressive phrases like “chauffeur driven CEO” started to appear a few months back.<\/span><\/p>\n

The same phrase used in every media outlet too.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Scott Morrison:<\/span><\/p>\n

* barges about in a private taxpayer’s jet to Lib fundraiser in Adelaide<\/span><\/p>\n

* mother & mother-in-law are fed & accommodated at taxpayer’s expense<\/span><\/p>\n

* best mates employed to make cups of tea for his wife<\/span><\/p>\n

Morrison grandstanding over a mere $12,000 is just laughable.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can tell it’s coming from Scott Morrison’s office when his official support club at the @australian<\/a> centre him in their articles as the hero of the story.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you read phrases like “Scott Morrison personally intervened” – you know Morrison’s people planted that.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump’ish.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/td>\n\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/td>\n

 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

If we look at the phrase Scott Morrison’s comms team and the Liberal HQ dirt unit have artfully scattered about – we can see that their work is done.<\/span><\/p>\n

No mention of the fact the previous CEO of Australia Post ALSO had a car & driver.<\/span><\/p>\n

And three times Holgate’s salary (at $5.6M pa)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The previous CEO of Australia Post, Ahmed Fahour received almost $7 million in 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n

He also received a further $4 million for “executive incentives” in 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n

Which is 1,333 x Cartier gift watches.<\/span><\/p>\n

No word from Scott Morrison the Treasurer then.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So we have Scott Morrison overseeing & ignoring every blatant govt scandal from paying $30M for a scrappy $3M dairy farm, to billions in contracts to government mates, and who has Angus Taylor<\/a> as a minister.<\/span><\/p>\n

And we’re expected to believe he’s moral chest beating over $12,000?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Notes<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The watches have been revalued at <\/span>$20,000<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“Thursday’s Senate Estimates hearing was also told that Australia Post had paid more than $97 million<\/strong> in bonuses to its workers over the past year, with those in senior positions getting the majority of the cash.”<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is by no means an exhaustive list of LNP corruption<\/span><\/p>\n
