Yes agree its ironic he used his secret powers for something his government generally isnt onboard with. Thats maybe more than just ironic hey!???

But its also ironic (and funny) that those whinging loudest would love that result .... dont know why this is so hard to accept.

Look, for mine it's funny as f**k he screwed over the Nats and essentially made one of their members his cuck, and in doing so made a decision I'd completely agree with, but that doesn't change the fact that the method by which he makes that decision is complete shit.

That's the ends justifies the means shit, so whilst I like the decision, it doesn't make it at the least bit ironic to shit can him over the way he was able to do so, even if i think f**king over the Nats was also a plus.

If you want Irony, try this one on....

Who the f**k is Simon Benson, I'm glad you asked...

He's one of two Journo's who Scotty told about his secret minister business over a f**king year ago, who then kept it secret as well, presumably so as they could have something to push the book they were writing at a later date.

Morrison liked to think he was unchained from orthodoxy – but was he actually unhinged from reality? | Sarah Martin

The revelation the former PM had five secret portfolios demonstrates his contempt for colleagues and the longstanding conventions that underpin Australia’s democracy

Completely off topic, but there are plenty in the press gallery who will claim privately that a certain former person who is uber churchy actually has a part time Canberra squeeze.

Alex Glassons and the RTBU are seriously taking the piss atm.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the new inter-city fleet of trains.
In fact, the new trains are bringing us into the first world with regard to safety. It's not a safety issue. It's a jobs and wages issue. These trains do not require guards, and that is what this comes down to.
The current govt need to do a way better in selling this issue, rather than crawling up the unions arse and promising a $240 million spend to remove all the cctv and sensors built into the trains, just so the guards can keep their jobs.
It's a f**king joke.

To add insult to injury, I heard a figure quoted of $30 million per month is what it's costing to keep the fleet in their current storage and off the network.... I'll see if I can track down a source for that, I heard it a while ago...

But you're right, this 100% about trying to future proof guard jobs, it's as simple as that. Insulting to the taxpayer to dress it up as anything else....

EDIT - found the article

NSW government attacks rail unions over mothballed $2b train fleet

A new inter-city fleet that unions say is unsafe is sitting in sheds unused at a cost of $30 million a month, Treasurer Matt Kean says.
