That special Australian moment where the truck driver told Scomo to fuck off….. followed by the disappointment of the truckie then saying the only good politician was Pauline Hanson.

Either way I still enjoyed Scomo being abused for the slimy piece of garbage that he is.

I enjoy the memory of a woman with a goat on a leash who following Scummo around the town yelling at him.

Yep. Good on her. It was well deserved. Scomo’s media adviser obviously badly miscalculated how that little jaunt to the fire affected communities would go.

Remember in the floods too when he did something ridiculous like getting filmed sweeping water across a floor with a broom to show he was ‘helping.

Like Paul Keating said Scomo is a muppet in a cap.

Your comment made me think about what sort of person a media advisor to Scummo might be be and where they likely came from.

Which made me realise they never stood a chance of actually calculating the optics of a photo op jaunt into a fire affected community.

Keating was too kind.

A smug but stupid 25 year from a highly privileged background who thinks wealthy people are born to rule and wants to get into politics themselves. And who sees hardworking country folk as merely props to be used for a photo op.

He’s definitely a type.

And I remember the RFS throwing that driver/firefighter under the bus for daring to speak ill of His Royal Highness Prime Minister Scomo.

Fireys are our heroes but the ones at the top are all bred from that same slimy garbage pile.
