I, Scott John Morrison, of 5 Adelaide Ave, Deakin ACT 2600, make the following statutory declaration under the Oaths and Affirmations Act 2018:
- During the preselection battle that I initially lost to Michael Towke by 82 votes to 8, I never once hinted to anyone that he may be a “Moslem”, nor a “Mohammedan” nor any other colonial administrator term for an adherent of Islam.
- Look, while I’m here, I also didn’t, while opposition immigration spokesman, urge “the shadow cabinet to capitalise on the electorate’s growing concerns about ‘Muslim immigration’, ‘Muslims in Australia’ and the ‘inability’ of Muslim migrants to integrate”. I mean, I did bring those things up, BUT because I think they are bad and we shouldn’t exploit them.
- I never once called Labor Senator Sam Dastyari “Shanghai Sam” in tweets and interviews.
- Also, I never said that electric vehicles couldn’t tow boats or caravans or reach camping spots, or that “Bill Shorten wants to end the weekend”.
- I don’t want to go on, but also, I never led a government that supported Clive Palmer’s High Court action against Western Australia’s borders.
- I never said the vaccine rollout “wasn’t a race”.
- And just so we’re clear, I never released a Liberal Party ad trying to claim political points during the catastrophic bushfires in 2019/2020.
- I can’t say I recall whether I put forward a “$9 billion mass detention plan” for asylum seekers living in Australia on bridging visas back when immigration minister in 2014. Who keeps track of every single billion-dollar proposal?
- I never completely arsed up our relationship with France by failing to let them know important information about the fact we were going to ditch the deal we had with them over submarines.
- I certainly didn’t sound out Greg Hunt about whether he’d be my deputy if I hypothetically replaced Turnbull the day before he was axed and the day after I’d responded to a question about my leadership ambitions by putting my arm around him and declaring, “This is my leader and I’m ambitious for him!”
I declare that the contents of this statutory declaration are true and correct and I make it knowing that making a statutory declaration that I know to be untrue is an offence.

And I certainly didnt sneak off to Hawaii for a secret holiday when Australia was burning. And I certainly didn’t refuse to listen to or take the advice of 12 retired Fire Fighting Officers who tried to warn me of the situation. And I never said that I didn’t listen to unemployed people, like the Fire Fighting Officers. I never lied about telling Anthony Albanese where I was when I was in Hawaii. And I never tried to force people to shake my hand, who had just experienced horrific fires.
You could go on…
a’hah, St. Scotty’s denials are glossolalia. He is trying to channel the Spirit of God to help him with his denials. Its like confession where he makes unheard utterances to a private envoy to cleanse his soul. Similarly glossolalia allows the participant to repent their sins to join in harmony with the Holy Spirit and move on and sin and repeat. No matter how nasty they have been they indulge in glossolalia to bypass suffering they have created so when their delusional Rapture occurs they are so deluded they think they will be shaking hands with angels while the rest of us are feeding worms. These Pentecostal dudes are indulging in delusional behaviour much like your hippy on acid.
May Scotty and Brian hold hands in heaven
And In these tuff times I have not increased my nett worth by at least $30 million dollars at a time your wages have been effectively fallen by 20%.

My favourite: “When asked in November of 2021 if I have ever lied in public life, I didn’t say, ‘I don’t believe I have, no. No’.”
Morrison must’ve attended the George Costanza Finishing School. The Costanza mantra: ‘It’s not a lie if you believe it.’
And he has the advantage of his faith, which provides first-class training in believing things despite no proper evidence, including things that are demonstrably impossible. Or, at least, professing such belief. Who knows what Scotty from Marketing really believes, except that he should be in the top job?
Professing such belief indeed. Who does know what this cardboard cutout of a man really believes?
It also allows for outright mendacity…Smirko and His Brethren are following in the tradition of the Early Christian Church wherein those Fathers of the Church, Eusebius, Clement , Jerome, John Chrysostom, had no compunction concerning lies and were all adept at justifying deceit/lies for the good of the poor sinner.
Smirko et al. obviously believe in such, as it will set the people of Australia on the path of righteousness of the Lying Nasty Party
As John Chrysostom, he of the Golden Mouth, given the name as he was so eloquent in his preaching. is also credited in leading the mob which carried out the second and final destruction of the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World,
“…For great is the value of deceit, provided it be not introduced with a mischievous intention. In fact action of this kind ought not to be called deceit, but rather a kind of good management, cleverness and skill, capable of finding out ways where resources fail, and making up for the defects of the mind … “
“…And often it is necessary to deceive, and to do the greatest benefits by means of this device, whereas he who has gone by a straight course has done great mischief to the person whom he has not deceived…”
Chrysostom, Treatise On The Priesthood, Book 1.
So when we think of Spin Doctors let us recall those early ones they who set the standard, The Doctors of the Church
Morrison’s political career will be finished if his current 19% margin in the Federal seat of Cook completely disappears on election day.
He’ll disappear if the government loses office – resignation within 48hrs is my guess, like his Rodent hero, the original unflushable turd.
Imagine him sitting on the backbench, a constant momento mori of the continuing catastrophe that was his Reign of Misrule.
And then go back to working in tourism where he can continue his 100% record of being sacked well before his contract expires.
Anyone can fake being a PM if all you do is nothing … and then make announcements.
Do you mean the lying little rodent with very few friends ? Could he be the PM’s mentor?
If he goes the same way as The Rodent, he won’t get a chance to resign, he will be voted out by the Electorate of Cook.
However I suspect he will be so on the nose they won’t keep exhuming him for every campaign.
There is little hope of that – the Cook electorate is Sylvania Waters writ large.
The full quote shows him for what he is . He lies about lying
…and I didn’t stitch up Julia Banks after I made a deal for her to wait 24 hours to announce her resignation so I could say “I’m only concerned with Julia’s welfare now”
If I ever told a lie, not that I would intentionally, it was because God made me do it. He told me he wanted me to be PM of Australia. Well I think he did and that’s the truth. So help me God.
Charlie, the list seems miles short, but a good start. Our PM is certainly unique, in more ways than one.
The published list is like an acorn, from which a mighty tree can grow.
