If you missed it earlier, we recommend that you take a listen to this morning’s heated chat between 2GB’s Ray Hadley and Social Services Minister (for now) Scott Morrison.
The two are usually very chummy in their weekly catch-ups, but this morning Morrison faced a grilling from the Abbott-supporting Hadley about his role in Monday night’s leadership coup.
Highlights include over-usage of the passive aggressive “mate” (Morrison: “we’re mates, mate”), an extended dance around the minister’s refusal to partake in an on-air stunt with a Bible, and this excellent accusation: “Mr Abbott thinks that you ran with the foxes and hunted with the hounds!”
Is this the sweet, sweet sound of a right-wing shock jock losing power? We think it might be.
Enjoy.
Ray say’s hes not a man of religion but can’t believe Scott unless he has his hand on the bible (Huh?)
Who would have admitted Scrott would be like that – as long as he was on the other end of your “all day”?
How many times did Hadley ask Abbott to swear on a Bible during their on-air relationship over the years?
Drat, just remembered: Hadley would have needed an answer to be in writing to rate credibility. According to Abbott. Not even a Bible would’ve cut the mustard.
What a pity no one could find the bloody Bible that was supposed to be in the studio because I got the impression that Morrison would have sworn on the thing and Hadley would have had to suck his own armpit. What a dickhead. Why do the politicians even go there?
Interesting that Morrison stuck with Abbott, there’s no flies on him.
Hadley obviously doesn’t believe the word of Scott Morrison. That raises an interesting topic: is Hadley so sure of his position that he can very bluntly question the integrity of a senior Minister in the Government, or does Hadley know that Morrison’s word has not been always truthful in the past?
Either way it’s enlightening to see the mates falling out!
