"We need to get him out." Ben Davison dives into the latest revelations about how much Morrison's own Deputy PM, Ministers, Liberal Premiers, Former Liberal Prime Ministers and his own members don't trust the "horrible, horrible person", who puts "politics before people", is a "liar", a "fraud" and "a hypocrite". Barnaby Joyce was due to appear on Insiders but due to his own text messages where he revealed he feels the same way about Morrison he dropped out of the show and left Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews to pick up the pieces. The interview is worth watching for some insight into the cruelty of the Morrison government approach to genuine refugees but also because when asked if Morrison was no longer the campaign asset he was in 2019 she said. "We need to get him out." The latest bombshell comes as Barnaby Joyce offers his resignation over a question of political appearances yet Aged Care Minister Richard Colbeck refuses to even acknowledge the sector is in crisis! Morrison rejected Barnaby's resignation and continues to support Colbeck in the face of calls for the Minister to be sacked by Labor and the unions while the sector, unions and providers, demand military support. While this coming week in parliament should see two new ministers (it won't) and a plan to fix aged care (also won't happen) it will instead be focussed on the "Religious discrimination bill", or what is in effect the bill to legalise bigotry in schools. Ben, a gayby, has strong views on this topic Ben gives a brief wrap up of the situation in Western Australia with fires and school closures, Queensland schools returning next week, NSW by-elections looking like a referendum on the boy prince Perrottet's Let it Rip strategy and the upcoming South Australian election gets firing with accusations that the Liberal Premier suggested weakening COVID protections in return for political support!

Dan Andrews hasn't ruled out mandating further vaccine doses if they are recommended. There has been international outrage at Jacinda Ardern over pregnant NZ journalist Charlotte Bellis being denied a MIQ spot instead of remaining in Afghanistan under the protection of the Taliban even though she is an unmarried woman which is forbidden under Sharia law.

The other closed state Western Australia is now facing a food shortage after the road and rail transit routes on the Nullabour are currently flooded. Qantas CEO Alan Joyce has compared WA to North Korea. The local WA Police last night interrupted a Catholic mass to check mask exemptions.

The ACT Police used brute force to drive the convoy participants from the Patrick White Lawns outside the National Library whom they deemed were packed and camping there illegally. Two ACT police officers were counseled for clinking their pepper spray bottles afterward. During this same week coincidently Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews announced $60 million in funding to combat violent extremism. Although the NZ general election isn't due until the end of 2023 Jacinda Ardern's stardust has taken a tumble in the polls. Finance Minister Grant Robertson has proposed a 3% tax increase in the government's redundancy insurance scheme. The Australian federal election is due in May 2022 with the latest Newspoll seeing Labor leading 56-44 and Morrison now only 2 points ahead of Albanese as Preferred PM 43-41. Scott Morrison's National Press Club speech didn't go to plan with Peter Van Onselen confronting him with a text message where former NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian called him a 'horrible horrible person' with a serving Cabinet Minister replying calling him 'a complete physco'.

In last week's federal budget papers, we discovered the government plans to keep our international borders closed until at least mid-2021. When can we realistically begin to plan to go back overseas? We're joined by Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews – and we ask why the government is not providing more information on the timeline for international travel. We also speak to Tim Byrnes, an Australian who fled to Russia via New Zealand. What is the motivation for stopping us travelling? Surely, it's the decision of the person leaving Australia Or is it?

A senior Australian security bureaucrat warned his staff that free nations "again hear the beating drums" of war, as military tensions rise in the Asia-Pacific region.Department of Home Affairs Secretary Mike Pezzullo's message to all department staff on Australia's veterans' day on Sunday, known as Anzac Day, was published in The Australian newspaper on Tuesday."In a world of perpetual tension and dread, the drums of war beat – sometimes faintly and distantly, and at other times more loudly and ever closer," Pezzullo said."Today, as free nations again hear the beating drums and watch worryingly the militarisation of issues that we had, until recent years, thought unlikely to be catalysts for war, let us continue to search unceasingly for the chance for peace while bracing again, yet again, for the curse of war," he added.Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews said she had approved of the wording of Pezzullo's message."He is absolutely at liberty to prepare such a speech, a document, and to have that published," Andrews said. "The overarching message from government is that we need to be alert but not alarmed."Senior opposition Labor Party lawmaker Bill Shorten described Pezzullo's reference to "drums of war" as "pretty hyperexcited language.""I'm not sure our senior public servants should be using that language because I'm not sure what that actually helps except to cause more anxiety," Shorten said.Defense Minister Peter Dutton raised the prospect of conflict between China and Taiwan in his own comments on Anzac Day."Nobody wants to see conflict between China and Taiwan or anywhere else in the world," Dutton said. "I don't think it should be discounted."In response to Dutton's remarks, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said on Monday that Taiwan was part of Chinese internal affairs that do not tolerate external interference."It's hoped that the Australian side will fully recognize that the Taiwan question is highly sensitive, abide by the one-China principle, be prudent in its words and deeds, avoid sending any wrong signals to the Taiwan independence separatist forces and act in ways beneficial to peace and stability," Wang said.Western Australia state Premier Mark McGowan — the Labor government leader of the state that exports Australia's most lucrative export, iron ore, to China — called on the federal government to "tone down" its language on military tensions."I just urge the Commonwealth (government) and people in this position, elected and otherwise, to tone it down. Tone it down," McGowan told reporters, referring to Pezzullo's "drums of war" reference."What good does that do, saying things like that? It's totally unnecessary," McGowan said, adding that diplomacy should be conducted "diplomatically."Pezzullo noted that this year marks the 70th anniversary of Australia's defense treaty with the United States. He cited U.S. wartime generals Douglas MacArthur and President Dwight Eisenhower."Let us remember the warnings of two American generals who had known war waged totally and brutally: we must search always for the chance for peace amidst the curse of war, until we are faced with the only prudent, if sorrowful, course — to send off, yet again, our warriors to fight the nation's wars," he said.Australia must reduce the likelihood of war, "but not at the cost of our precious freedom," Pezzullo said.Australia last week provoked an angry response from Beijing by cancelling two Chinese Belt and Road Initiative infrastructure deals with the Victoria state government on national interest grounds.The Chinese Embassy in Australia said in a statement the decision would "bring further damage to bilateral relations and will only end up hurting" Australia.
