It& #39;s very evident @ScottMorrisonMP& #39;s office & Liberal party HQ have been leaking to the media about Christine Holgate for some time now.

Passive aggressive phrases like "chauffeur driven CEO" started to appear a few months back.

The same phrase used in every media outlet too. https://twitter.com/iMusing/status/1319392958408347649">https://twitter.com/iMusing/s...
Scott Morrison:

* barges about in a private taxpayer& #39;s jet to Lib fundraiser in Adelaide

* mother & mother-in-law are fed & accommodated at taxpayer& #39;s expense

* best mates employed to make cups of tea for his wife

Morrison grandstanding over a mere $12,000 is just laughable.
You can tell it& #39;s coming from Scott Morrison& #39;s office when his official support club at the @australian centre him in their articles as the hero of the story.

When you read phrases like "Scott Morrison personally intervened" - you know Morrison& #39;s people planted that.

Trump& #39;ish.
If we look at the phrase Scott Morrison& #39;s comms team and the Liberal HQ dirt unit have artfully scattered about - we can see that their work is done.

No mention of the fact the previous CEO of Aust Post ALSO had a car & driver.

And three times Holgate& #39;s salary (at $5.6M pa)

.
The previous CEO of Australia Post, Ahmed Fahour received almost $7 million in 2017.

He also received a further $4 million for "executive incentives" in 2016.

Which is 1,333 x Cartier gift watches.

No word from Scott Morrison the Treasurer then.

So we have Scott Morrison overseeing & ignoring every blatant govt scandal from paying $30M for a scrappy $3M dairy farm, to billions in contracts to government mates, and who has Angus Taylor as a minister.

And we& #39;re expected to believe he& #39;s moral chest beating over $12,000?
We& #39;re expected to believe - and I haven& #39;t seen any questioning of it - that within 60 mins of Christine Holgate talking about some watches at Senate estimates, the Prime Minister had suddenly prepared a full scale 4 week inquiry?

Oh ffs, please

And still nothing on #Watergate
.
Look at these deliberate words. Poisoned.

This is Houdini mind-manipulation. Manufactured, self-serving spin

We have a media and public that takes everything @ScottMorrisonMP says and does on face value.

Stop.

Morrison the controller does nothing without an agenda.

Always.
BREAKING.

Here& #39;s a missing piece to Morrison& #39;s manufactured Australia Post hissy fit.

An insider passed this on to me.

Christine Holgate is being stitched up - by Scott Morrison & co.

With some compliant media happily looking no further than Morrison& #39;s contrived statements.
The board of Aust Post would like you to believe they approved discretionary spending by the CEO - but they didn& #39;t approve discretionary spending by the CEO.

Oh, and the then chairman John Stanhope is hoping you believe it happened without his input.

Which is umm - awkward.
The board of Australia Post, as reported in Crikey yesterday, is stacked to the hilt with Liberal party cronies.

(It& #39;s easier to mould an organisation with a sympathetic board)

Anywhoo, they approved Ms Holgate& #39;s spending.

They can play semantics all they like.

They approved.
