Name: Scott Morrison
| Subject | Comment | Grade |
|---|---|---|
| Borders | Scott’s performance has been very strong here. Some say too strong — there have been a number of complaints from members of the student body about Scott’s approach. Might serve to ease up a little and direct more effort elsewhere. | A |
| Quarantine | Scott has been a big disappointment this year. He has had plenty of time to complete basic assignments but failed to produce anything for assessment. This has seriously affected the rest of his schoolwork. | D |
| Vaccinations | Unfortunately we will be requiring Scott to repeat this year. No feature of his work in Vaccinations has been of satisfactory quality, and his attitude has been consistently poor. This is not a subject in which night-before haste can make up for months of inactivity. | F |
| Computer Science | Scott has talked a big game on his IT skills but has failed to achieve results to match the boasts. His major project, COVIDSafe, was unsatisfactory and he has yet to fix its numerous flaws. | F |
| Economics | We’re happy with Scott’s effort, although some of his work has been sloppy at times and shows the influence of some of his mates from outside school. In danger of resting on his laurels. | B |
| Leadership | Despite being school captain, Scott has failed to show the requisite leadership skills and effort. He appears to enjoy the recognition and status of the captaincy, without understanding it comes with responsibilities and hard work. Must do better. | D |
Expelled!
We can but hope!
Indeed, expelled for serial lying, bullying, and failing to protect the juniors from beatings and hazing.
Goodness me, you are a generous marker, nothing but an F minus, sent back 3 grades and the dunces hat brought bac
Way too kind on economics. Hate too be the one to bring it up – but …Jobkeeper could have been paid directly to the recipients. Takin gout the middle man would have eliminated the overt opportunity for corruption. The they could also have clawed it back -a la Robodebt! They aren’t economic managers at all, they are squibs.
to not too! sorry.
Agree MABCM – wasn’t he cajoled in the first place, into the whole Seeker/Keeper thing, by Sally McManus and others? I remember he initially didn’t want to do it at first….and he definitely wanted it to end asap, especially the Seeker payment, which must have been to him like holy water to a vampire ….”Money to the unemployed?!? Gaaah!!! It burrrrns!!!”
His basic economic philosophy is based on shovelling more and more money to those who already have plenty, as “reward” ,and increasing the poverty of the poor, as “punishment”. These guiding principles might have had a slight easing during the first lockdown, but he couldn’t wait to snap back to them asap.
Remember the $4 a day increase that was all that could be squeezed out of his jerky meat heart after Newstart was cut back to regulation sub-poverty levels? Regardless of the fact that maintaining stimulus to the poor and struggling would have increased the efficacy of lockdowns?
Also, as you mention, the outrageous JobKeeper rorts alone, that led to record profits for businesses, with no clawback provisions, would have to knock his report card result down to a D at the very least!
Not forgetting that his government had tripled the national debt and put the economy into recession BEFORE the advent of the coronavirus.
There would have been no point “…taking out the middleman…” – that was precisely WHY it was done as it was.
Dear SMF High: I reject the premises of your gradings, which smack of hindsight heroism. I have now received the regrading, from the independent outsourced provider, Deloitte, with A’s in all topics. God bless, Captain Scott.
Nice satire
I consider the A for borders questionable. He did in the first class test get an A for closing border with China but he failed the second test by not closing border with USA and Italy and the group assignment on cruise ships was also a failure. He did pick up in the trial by closing all borders but his failure in the second test and group assignment surely drop his overall assessment to a B
Absolutely right
Still a D. If he had built quarantine stations at each point of entry we might be able to bring back the ‘stranded’ Aussies – but no, we did not.
But we did bring in 20000 non Australians on temporary visas just before Berejiklian let Delta loose
