The “Psycho” is doing it the only way he knows how:
Last week, New South Wales Premier Dominic Perrottet secured a “handshake agreement” with Prime Minister Scott Morrison that they would do “whatever is required” to support residents devastated by floods in the Northern Rivers region.
Over the weekend, NSW ministers and departmental officials worked to develop and test a recovery funding package. The details were finalised on Tuesday, before being signed off by the premier and passed through an out-of-session expenditure review committee.
At time of press, however, there had been no response from the federal government. Morrison’s office has gone silent.
“I’m not sure what the hold-up is,” a senior NSW government source told The Saturday Paper. “We’ve signed our package, is my point. And the prime minister’s office or the treasurer’s office has not come back to us to say ‘Hey, we have a question about this.’ ”
On Thursday morning, the source consulted another person while on the phone, to see if there had been any movement on the package.
“Still nothing. We are still waiting on the prime minister,” they said, and then, to the other person: “Do we know what the hold-up is? He’s campaigning in Perth? Is that the actual answer?” The second person clarified they had been told simply that Morrison is “unavailable”.
“Well, is he unavailable to review the package? Or unavailable to sign it off? Or unavailable to do the media announce?”
There was a pause. “Okay. So he’s not engaging on it.”
In short, the NSW Government is now leaking to the press to pressure Morrison to deliver on promised disaster flood relief. Let’s be clear on this. It’s not leaking to apportion blame, to politicise the issue nor to pass the buck on its own budget. The money is already promised. The leaks are an attempt to actually get the money to needy Australians made homeless and destitute by natural disaster.
What’s the “Psycho” been doing then?
…In Western Australia, where Morrison is yet to respond to the NSW support package, the prime minister is planning to attend a fundraising dinner with the state branch of the Liberal Party. Tickets were advertised for as much as $14,000 a head. On the other side of the country, it’s unlikely there would be many takers.
And while news flowed through that Morrison’s “psycho” behaviour has destroyed the competent South Australian LNP state government in a landslide election defeat, he still made time to fly back east for this:

Meanwhile, at Morrison headquarters:
Hillsong has been forced to “apologise unreservedly” after the church’s founder, Brian Houston, was found to have engaged in conduct “of serious concern” by the church.
Following media reports on Friday, the church’s global board said in a statement that Houston had breached Hillsong’s pastor code of conduct in two incidents over the past decade.
“We have sadly been dealing with two complaints made against Pastor Brian over the last 10 years,” the church’s global board said.
Drugs, sexting and uninvited appearances in female staffers’ hotel rooms. Sound familiar?
There is a fantastic lesson for all Australians in the great “Psycho” Morrison unravelling. Such disordered people are to be found in every group. Very often they are at the top because they are either the only ones willing to trample over corpses or to lead the unbalanced life needed to get there.
If you find yourself afflicted by a disordered personality of this nature in your work or personal life, then this is how you get rid of them.
Don’t react to their behaviour. It will be subtle and other weak-minded folks will believe them. The psycho will then just point you out as the lunatic.
Rather, put the psycho through a transparent process of accountability (in this case an election) then sit back and watch as they blow themselves to pieces for all to see.
To wit:
