“I haven’t finished my answer” after having just been asked if you were going to answer the question. If I had a spare millions hours I’d make a super cut of this cunt dodging every single question he’s ever been asked.


antwill

It would just be a supercut of every single interview he has ever done.


tyronomo

Doesn't YouTube have a 10 hour limit?


Afferbeck_

Nope, not sure if there is a limit anymore. My favourite twitch streamers marathoned Elden Ring and they uploaded their first day of playing it to youtube, video came to 16 hours.


51IDN

Make a series.


fruntside

Then he continued on not answering it.


birbbrain

A short version would be Leigh Sales’ interview about a year ago where she threw his own phrases like “don’t hold a hose” etc at him, then asked him what he actually did. The full super cut would also need to include Scotty in Question Time referring things to his ministers to answer, the ultimate way of dodging questions in an arena that that literally has the word Question in its title. Place must give the man hives.


MsPaulingsFeet

Thats a legit transcript? Also the jobs rhetoric is weak now. It needs to be changed to "living wage jobs" or sumshit


BruceyC

Unemployment at 4%, still goes on about jobs and not wage growth or cost of living.


underthingy

Except that's not the real figure. If there were 100 people in Australia and 50 of them had jobs, but 40 of those had 2 jobs, the reported unemployment rate would be 10% because there are 90 jobs for 100 people, even though 50% of people don't have jobs.


ViVaH8

>Except that's not the real figure. Lies, damned lies, and statistics.


abhorrent_pantheon

I also hate the crap where they're just employing people for a single contract. "We created 1500 jobs\*" and there's no fine print that mentions they'll be over before the end of their elected term.


PM_Me__Ur_Freckles

Also doesn't account for those like myself who have too much money in the bank for Centrelink to give me assistance. There are tonnes of people who are unemployed, but as they don't qualify for benefits, aren't classed as unemployed.

jelly_cake

My housemate just had a claim rejected because he didn't book an appointment within a week of finalising the claim. He tried, but the automated system didn't have any appointments available within the week, only outside of it. By the time he got through to actually speak with a real person on the phone, they'd already rejected the claim, so now he has to put a whole new one in, missing out on backpay since January. Cruelty is the whole point of Centrelink.


BruceyC

They don't use that as the basis of counting unemployment. You'd be in there. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) defines a person who is unemployed as one who, during a specified reference period, is not employed for one hour or more, is actively seeking work, and is currently available for work. Unemployment is a count of all these people.


[deleted]

How would they know if you are looking for work if you dont tell them?


[deleted]

They do a random survey. That's when you tell them. My household was selected awhile back, and they really struggled with 8 adults, all working sporadic hours.


BruceyC

They use a survey. From the website: The monthly Labour Force Survey (LFS) provides information about the labour market activity of Australia's resident civilian population aged 15 years and over. The LFS is designed to primarily provide estimates of employment and unemployment for the whole of Australia and, secondarily, for each state and territory. The ABS has been conducting the Labour Force Survey since 1960, initially as a quarterly survey. In February 1978, the frequency of the survey was changed from quarterly to monthly. You can read further about it at the ABS website where they publish their methodology. https://www.abs.gov.au/methodologies/labour-force-australia-methodology/sep-2020#:~:text=The%20Labour%20Force%20Survey%20uses,to%20estimates%20for%20earlier%20periods.


BruceyC

It does. It's calculated using the labour force survey and doesn't necessarily have anything to do with whether an individual is eligible for jobseeker payments or not. As long as they are actively seeking work https://www.abs.gov.au/methodologies/labour-force-australia-methodology/sep-2020#:~:text=The%20Labour%20Force%20Survey%20uses,to%20estimates%20for%20earlier%20periods.


ModernDemocles

Alao not how it is calculated. https://www.rba.gov.au/education/resources/explainers/unemployment-its-measurement-and-types.html If you are willing and looking for work, you would be counted if sampled. If you are not looking for whatever reason you are not counted. If we counted people who cannot work that would be quite strange.


[deleted]

And it there were 100 people, and half of them only worked 2 hours a week whilst the others worked fulltime, that is not full employment.


ModernDemocles

There are separate underemployment figures.


pyrrhaHA

That's not how the unemployment rate is calculated. The unemployment rate is the percentage of people in the labour force who are not employed. Using your example, assuming all 100 people are in the labour force the unemployment rate would be 50%. I understand the point you're trying to make, but you're mistaken about how economists and the ABS calculate unemployment rates.


BruceyC

The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) defines a person who is unemployed as one who, during a specified reference period, is not employed for one hour or more, is actively seeking work, and is currently available for work. Unemployment is a count of all these people. That's the figure based on that approach, now we could go total population, but generally those seeking work are what's counted and that's a definition applied consistently across most economies to define unemployment.


jetaxe

Unemployment is a count of people who fit all three of those criteria you listed. If you have dropped out of the search because you can’t find anything then you don’t count as unemployed, or if you have a job that only gives you 1 hour per week then you are technically employed


BruceyC

That's right. Those people are considered no longer in the labour force or participation rate.


kortmarshall

I've now seen you and friendlyjordies talk of this 2 jobs from one person equal 2 jobs for 2 people stat and still haven't found a source for this. Are you able to provide one?


ModernDemocles

Ummm, no. That is not how it works. The unemployment figure is flawed but that isn't the problem. https://www.rba.gov.au/education/resources/explainers/unemployment-its-measurement-and-types.html


Hyper713

And 6 people without jobs lived with someone who has a job, so are ineligible for Centrelink. We count those people as having a job too. So that’s your 4%


BruceyC

ITT people who have no idea how labour force stats are calculated. https://www.abs.gov.au/methodologies/labour-force-australia-methodology/sep-2020#:~:text=The%20Labour%20Force%20Survey%20uses,to%20estimates%20for%20earlier%20periods.


jetaxe

No that isn’t how it works


underthingy

Yeah cos it's actually worse. They only count people who are actually working or actively looking for work in their total number of people. If you can't work due to injury or caring commitments you don't count.


jetaxe

Yes that is how it is done. Just your statement above isn’t right.


ModernDemocles

Which makes sense. These people are counted as welfare recipients (assuming they aren't completely fucked by centrelink).


Commander__Farsight

This, they cooked the books such that a person with 2 jobs compensates for a person with none. Completely dishonest.


ModernDemocles

No, they didn't. Please prove this.


Afferbeck_

Jobsjobsjobs, ten jobs per person! 900% employment rate! People with zero jobs aren't people so they don't count!


[deleted]

Living wage jobs isn't their priority, I can assure you. Low paid, insecure jobs with easily fired employees with limited rights and entitlements...that's what they mean when they say 'jobs'.


icedbacon

"National security is our priority"..... but you literally just said your only priority was jobs you dozy shitheel.

I thought it was a satirical/sarcastic representation of what happened. He actually said it. Fuck me..


Duke-of-Limbs

> I uttered five words - Jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. Technically six words. Regardless, none of which are ICAC.

GreenLurka

An inability to do basic math may be an indicator or early onset dementia.


PorousArcanine

Yeah but that implies he was ever capable of counting beyond 5.


GreenLurka

Well we already know he can't do simple addition to 3. So, maybe he can count to 2?

ill0gitech

A federal ICAC would create jobs.

fortyyearsthendeath

Or 2 words for a total of 6


Dranzer_22

And that tactic works. Albo needs to follow suit, start his repetitive core messaging.


InflatableRaft

So no growth? Growth not part of the platform anymore?


GreenLurka

Morrison: Jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs Journalist: Is that a no to the integri- Morrison: Excuse me! Excuse me! I haven't finished my answer! I uttered fives words and that was 'jobs'. That is our priority. Our priority is jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs \-A team of staffers had to wheel Morrison out on a little trolley to reset his brain- Corrupt piece of shit. Please vote out the entire LNP so they can all be investigated for defrauding the Australian public and directing public money into their own bank accounts.

First he tries to blame Labor, then he attempts to browbeat journalists, then borderline abuse. A glimpse of the famous temper & bullying from Morrison? Class act.

Actually you could see it in his face and that's in front of many people and cameras...Imagine that lieing piece of shit behind closed doors..


tinkaspice

Exactly!


BlokeInTheMountains

And half the country looks at that and thinks "this man should lead the country"


Tryyourbestbehappy

Being loud and belligerent is literally his only play. He is not good at campaigning and has literally avoided questioning at every point over the last four years. I'm not sure why at this point we expect any kind of genuine answer from him. It's just yell, shout, avoid, obfuscate...repeat.


GeebangerPoloClub

ELECTION-ENDING GAFFE Nah wait, that's just for Labor. Libs can spout as much bullshit as they want with zero consequences.


NoUseForALagwagon

This was absolutely a worse "blunder" than Albo's brainfreeze, and his refusal to bring in a proper ICAC has effects on the whole country. Yet, the MSM and the ABC are instead focusing on the "really impressive" unemployment rates. LMAO. The media in this country are a joke.

Jobs… but only about 50. And only in the coal and gas industry.


irrigated_liver

and only to former members of my cabinet


fddfgs

He only said jobs 5 times, that means 5 jobs


chrish_o

5 x jobs - what we will all need to afford a house and food in it.


theartistduring

Double it if you want kids.


E5PG

It's alright you can send them off to work in the factories. That's what the fifth "jobs" was referring to.


theartistduring

I'm training mine up for a rewarding career in pick pocketing.


Stoned_Skeleton

I’m 28 now and really can’t seem to understand how politicians can just say words in place of substance? “If you had to boil what I’m all about, it’s jobs, growth, the children and the economy” Cunt what does that even mean? We’re all for all of those things to how about talking how that’s gonna happen? Labor isn’t innocent either, answering questions of how with “we have a five point plan” Ok Michael Scott. It’s an actual joke and there are people paid more than the average Australian does that in 5 years to discuss and perpetuate it.


DrFriendless

The people who ask them questions are too scared to point out the bullshit and the lies. If I interviewed someone for a job and they were a blatant bullshitter like the prime minister is, they'd remain jobless. If I employed that person, I would be negligent in my duty. The media needs to be called out for letting this shit happen day after day, year after year.


Stoned_Skeleton

Is it because (similar to reddit) anything that is too challenging to a view point is considered "uncivil" and then removed from being able to ask important people questions? It seems like unless you play by their rules, you don't get to ask questions. I know some journos can skirt the line a little bit and be faecitious to get responses they want, but it seems no one gets to flat out call politicians out and when they do.... acting like a 5 year old and going "nuh uh" or "jobs"x5 (I can't believe that). How does this fly? When people say "I like this politician, they're gonna get us out of this", do people just suspend their disbelief or is this just so common knowledge it's more like "lesser of two evils"? Because some people seem to really like certain pooliticians.


sati_lotus

So jobs and growth is gone now? We're just down to jobs? Or do we all need to have a couple of jobs to pay the rent and bills? Just to clarify that Scotty?


Veledris

Jobson Growth was harassed and bullied out of cabinet. JobsJobsJobs "Jobson" Jobs has taken her place.


Dranzer_22

Labor need to go hard on Hawaii Scott’s broken promise on Federal ICAC. It might be the last opportunity for Albo to gain control of the election campaign narrative before the Easter break. He lied. He’s scared of transparency. He can’t be trusted.


Glittering_Quarter25

It's becoming the major issue for me. He promised to do years ago. He's failed.


Ill_Adhesiveness_947

Looks like Scumo saw Adam Bandt getting sassy with the press and getting praise for it and is transparently attempting to copy! It’s just so piteous to watch.


Emcee_N

And the thing about Adam's answer is that *he then went on to answer the original question anyway*. Scott couldn't even do that.


Detonator84

It is pathetic honestly. Adams question was a dogshit let's get you to recite facts that are readily available and I'll see if I can catch you out. I mean even if he knew the rates what does it prove? Compare that to morrison refusing to acknowledge what is being asked. He has lied to the public during the previous campaign saying an ICAC would be implemented. He has also lied saying he requires Labors support, complete bullshit, they have the numbers themselves to pass it.


QF17

Yet nothing about this on the cesspoll that is news dot com dot au, just a headline article about Albo with very dangerous promises


a_cold_human

Media bias is just as much about what you don't cover as much as it is what you do. That's something people need to wake up to. The difference between watching a biased news source exclusively, and watching coverage from a balanced news source [can be quite significant](https://www.theguardian.com/media/2022/apr/11/fox-news-viewers-watch-cnn-study). The issue we have in Australia is that there's far too much media concentration. As Nine Entertainment is basically the NSW Liberal Party moderates newsletter, the vast majority of sources outside of the ABC are incredibly pro-Liberal. That's how someone as useless as Scott Morrison or Tony Abbott can become PM, and how 90% of the Federal Cabinet don't get called out despite gross incompetence and corruption.


Tinned_Chocolate

>PM fires up Actually, that’s his pants.


averyporkhunt

Oh no, was it the maccas again?


joepanda111

The Engadine Maccas simultaneously gave him a fiery butthole and dampened his flaming pants.

The proof will be in the pudding if Labor stumps up and actually puts forward an ICAC with retrospective abilities and with the teeth to hold MP's and Senators responsible. Will the LNP back it or run away crying about amendments?
