hidden in the fine print which anyone watching could have predicted is a glaringly obvious Morrison government goal - from the guy who militarised refugee policy and bushfire response - extension of executive power. https://twitter.com/SenKimCarr/status/1308261535479771143

ninefax got the drop over a month ago, embedded with a typical Morrison lie. The unnamed staffer said he would wait until Air Chief Marshal Binskin reported on the catastrophic #ClimateFires.

can’t wait* to see the compliant collaborators in the press gallery explain that vast overreach of executive power to deploy the military in breach of reserve powers of the states is ticketyfuckingboo.

the bloke who lies about ADF offers to the states by the Commonwealth is authorising his Defence minister proxy to send in the troops without a request from the states. The press gallery say this chain of command clusterfuck in waiting will “clarify” the logistics. It won’t.

anyway icymi I set out exactly what is happening here in tediously depressing detail over a month ago. https://imatthewsblog.com/2020/08/15/if-there-is-a-morrison-doctrine-it-is-mission-creep/
