on his staff with his denial of physics

If you have ever wondered how Scott Morrison forms his opinions on
everything from climate change and coal mining to taxation and punishing
the poor......
Scott John Morrison does not appear to be a man with an abundance of
intellectual curiosity, his employment history* is lacklustre with most of
positions he held lasting less than 3 years and, his work ethic is not strong
given he granted himself three holiday breaks in the first full year of his
primeministership.
Member for Mining Scott Morrison says the fact he is surrounded by
advisors with connections to the coal industry, including multinational
mining corporations such as Rio Tinto, pro-coal lobbying firms such as
Crosby Textor, and members of the Murdoch Press, is unrelated to his fire
sale of the national interest.
If you donate to the Liberal Party you can rest assured you will get all the
law you want when it comes to mining development. With both the Great
Australian Bight and the Great Barrier Reef in the frame, earmarked for
mining exploration fears are the Mining Lobby will get their way and these
Australian icons will be exploited for profit.

Surrounded by these people it’s easy to see the influence they wield over
Scott Morrison who after all is only a Marketing man and no more.
These key people who work in Scott Morrison’s office are radically pro-coal
and anti-climate action.
Murdoch empire, an organization so steeped in denial as to even deny the
presence of climate deniers, be in any way related to Morrison’s crackdown
on environmental protests? Of course, they do.
The fossil fuel industry in Australia gets $29 billion in government subsidies
each year.
Over the last six years, the Coalition government has taken 194 actions to
sabotage environmental policy.

Then we have the Murdoch Media …
Their ultimate goal is to become Australia’s national broadcaster at the
expense of the ABC which is to be sold off.
To ensure Rupert Murdoch has his people close to Government, several of
them also work in Scott Morrison’s inner office. If you think they might play
some role in Government policy? Of course, they do.

Buts lets not forget the IPA, they are the Liberal Party Policy development

Liberal Party.

Gina Rinehart, Clive Palmer, Rupert Murdoch Scott Morrison
Gina Rinehart
Then there is the direct influence exerted by mining billionaire Gina
Rinehart who is a Coalition donor, her personal staff includes
• Sophie Mirabelle, former Liberal MP
• Adam Giles, former Liberal Chief Minister of the Northern Territory
Rinehart maintains a very close relationship with former Deputy PM
Barnaby Joyce, whose campaigns she’s also helped fund.”
As co-owner of major coal mining licenses in the Galilee Basin, Rinehart
stands to receive significant benefits if the area is opened up, via approval
for the Adani-Carmichael mega coal-mine, currently being pushed through
by the Coalition Government.”
Brian Houston
We have left the best to last.
There is another living paradox who inhabits Scott Morrison’s office and
that is. Brian Houston, he is the religious pastor ( and a multi Millionaire )
who is more concerned with politics than matters of faith, whereas Scott
Morrison seems more concerned with moral matters.
Brian Houston can’t believe his luck, he has direct access and influence
over the government of Australia through Scott Morrison.
All because Scott Morrison believes Church and State should be one
and the same.

It’s said of Scott Morrison and his intellect that he has never read a new
book and never had an original thought if he does its always been
someone else’s ideas he has used and claimed as his own.
Others say Morrison is so easily led.
Malcolm Turnbull
Malcolm Turnbull’s Media Advisor during his Prime Ministership was
Clive Mathieson, former Editor of the Australian.
In 2017, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull appointed Sid Marris, a
Mineral Council of Australia (MCA) Director, as his advisor on energy,
climate change and resources. He is now back at the MCA.
In 2018, Turnbull and Josh Frydenberg gave $444 million in taxpayer
money to the Great Barrier Reef Foundation without a competitive tender
or application process.
The chair of that foundation is John Schubert, an executive of Esso, owned
by ExxonMobil. The Foundation Chairman’s panel is tied to Peabody and
BHP, both members of the Minerals Council of Australia (MCA).
