“The Prime Minister is preeminent, the premiers are below that but they have been raised up and they are full of their own importance,” Ms Bishop told Sky News host Paul
Murray. “He has to take action to show that the Prime Minister is calling the shots. “And it’s no good saying he hasn’t got the power because he has.” Image: News Corp Australia
Morrison done a good job. Andrews done a shit job, should get a boot
The fact is state governments are independent sovereign governments in their own right with full and plenary powers completely able to legislate on any matter if they so choose. The states created the Commonwealth by their own fiat and limited its powers in the Constitution.
They’re the ones who have to save the lives, right? And protect their economies at the same time. Right? Who’s importance should they be full of? Is it clear to anyone why this woman is saying stuff? I’m not getting it.
Yeah maybe some are so important they get helecopters to fundraisers in Geelong hey Bronwyn?
Well if that ain’t the pot calling the kettle black
Muppet 1 and muppet 2
MikeCarlton01 PaulBongiorno where is the minister for caged hair when we need her.
Thankfully that clown is no longer my Federal MP. Unfortunately, the replacement is not an improvement.
I liked Andrews saying yesterday when the reporter asked about ADF that he will accept any question and will try and answer but he is not going into that
Bronwyn Bishop criticising others for being “full of their own importance”?! Let’s just let that statement sit there for a bit shall we...
Bronwyn really implied the failure of the PM to lead a national cabinet.
hmmm, I haven’t noticed any of them taking a helicopter to events - have you BronwynBishop ?
Just like local councils.
she's a shocker
Disgraced former speaker, says nothing worse listening too.
'Raised up' .... by helicopter?
This Vurus Lockdown is about Politics and not based on medical science. Premier Andrews must be held accountable for his actions paralyzing people’s livelihood.
Says helicopter Bronny...
They’re filling the vacuum left by the “duck for cover” PM, right? auspol ScottyFromMarketing InsidersABC PatsKarvelas David_Speers
Did a lady who billed taxpayers for a helicopter ride to replace a short drive, just tell us that premiers are full of their own importance? Weird.
Bronny accusing someone else of being 'full of their own importance'?
Just looking at him fives the creeps 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻🤬🤬🤬🤬
There are the comments of someone who has no appreciation of either Australia’s history or the constitution. Conservatism is dead all we have now is ignorant populists
Well she oughta know about that. Having disappeared up her own backside many a year ago now. Helicopter transport and above scrutiny Bishop. Hmm. How about this the man leading our Federation is a criminal clown and the states have to protect their inhabitants from the fed gov
Premiers have to step up when there is a gang of scammers running the country
Doesn’t the former speaker of the house realise that the Federal Parliament only exists at the behest of the State Governments. That is why the State Premiers have that power.
I'm not gonna read the article, but Bishop calling out people for being full of their own importance is Dave Chapelle level comedy.
Really, you're saying it like what Bronwyn Bishop says matters.
bit rich coming from someone like herself
This comment will be drowned out. By the noise of the helicopter
She'd know ...
WELL SAID. 100 PERCENT AGREE.
But not raised up in a helicopter at taxpayers expense!
Though Bishop would have died in a taxpayer funded helicopter accident by now.
Misleading headline. Bronwyn Bishop was actually dumping on Morrison. Implying he has ceded leadership to state Premiers. 'He has to take action.' 'It’s no good saying he hasn’t got the power because he has.' COVID19Aus auspol
‘Former worst ever speaker of the house, and helicopter enthusiast...’
Old twit trying to be relevant
State (colony) leaders existed long before an Australian PM ever did Bronnie trying to rewrite history ‘Nobodies’ want to hear from you Bronnie auspol
She’s right, Danny Dick Ears daily pressers are becoming waffle and a clear lack of respect for the female reporters
Hey where’s the social distancing in that photo
Notice how it’s Dan Andrews front and centre so blatantly obvious. Murdoch wants Andrews gone , so his mindless minions must attack. When are we going to have a shakeup of mainstream media?
nobody gives a flying fuck what Bronwyn Bishop 'thinks'
Sorry but if the PM refuses to take responsibility then of course the premiers have to.
Mental midgets.
continuing allowing shit to call clay brown. Hypocrisy is obviously lost on you.
Well, she'd know all about hubris wouldn't she? With her over inflated ego I'm surprised she needed a helicopter!
Bronwyn Bishop ... that old fossil on sky lite where the truth goes to die
Old Kerosene Baths says what?
That is sooo true...premiers are loving their time on the podium day in day out. They spend money knowing they never have to be responsible for paying off debt and love using power to close borders...diviiding the nation...and destroying businesses!!
Someone has to fill the void left by Scotty I guess. Have a great weekend mate! See you sometime next week.
Well since they're are left with the heavy lifting what would you expect?
Interesting from a long time champion of states rights - maybe it depends who is in government.
The former Speaker who left over a rort, is an irrelevant irrelevance.
All politicians are full of their own importance.
Bronny would know a thing or three about inflated self importance. Brought down HonTonyAbbott prime ministership with her self indulgence.
Its time these bureaucrats be investigated for the destruction of our country and livelihoods and be made accountable for the crimes they have committed in conjunction with Bill Gates and Fauci and WHO Storm Is About To Hit ⏰
If that’s true, it’s a failing of the National Cabinet...
They feel very dictatorial now. When we gave them those powers?
Bronwyn Bishop is ‘full of [insert most appropriate word here]’ auspol
More like the showed up an incompetent PM
She so spot the prime minister is very very as much to blame. The way this has played out is like his a rich uncle with no kids who gets used by his niece and nephews (the premiers) for money but they think his a big dope and dont respect hil at all.
What have they been using tax payers money to book choppers to go to a fund raiser?
Morrison? Because his air of self-importance is like a thick mouldy stench that melts nose hairs.
A person who thought they were so far above the rules they used taxpayer funds to fundraise for there party should know about this topic. Pot meet kettle 😅 Bronwyn Bishop's $5000 helicopter ride to Liberal fundraiser fails the 'sniff test': Joe Hockey
She has a point. Morrison keeps saying it's a state issue, it's a state responsibility. He did it with the bushfires and now the Pandemic. So, who knows what he's in charge of, or responsible for... 🤷♀️
Oh FFS read the room this had got to be one of the worst pieces of crap you have ever inflicted upon twitter. Who the ... is Authorising these , if its the work experience kid get them back to making coffees
No different from the Federal politicians.
Get on your helicopter...
Visit to Australia is definitely OFF the bucket list! 👎
Well, we can’t have the house polloi travelling in helicopters or getting the idea that they actually matter in this country!
Oh the irony.
Gee ! Next thing U know , they'll be grabbin' helicopters to take 'em just down the road ?
Bit like former Speakers.
From the helicopter princess
No one who has a valid opinion said this.
The little people are getting above their station again. Back in my day it wasn't like this at all. I blame video games.
