Budget fixed as Morrison hunts bludging polygamists

From 2GB this morning comes Australia’s most sackable aylite, Downgrade Morrison:

We’ve got $6b of welfare savings measures before the parliament right now. Labor are like that guy on the roadside when they’re doing roadwork, but they’ve got the sign on stop when it comes to fixing the economy.

…The law and its implementation cannot condone polygamy. It’s against our values, it’s 100 per cent wrong.

He’s hot on the heels of another parasite too in students seeking the dole:

Originally it was at six months, and that was unacceptable to the Senate…so you can’t go from the school front gate to the Centrelink front door.

We put the protections in place, these are young people who can stack shelves, pick fruit, and we say if they knock back those jobs they should not be getting the dole.

A fine narrative to carry the nation: Labor, Muslim polygamists, bludging students…all much of muchness.
