"I think the likelihood of anything like that occurring is pretty much zero," he said.
"I've said the likelihood of any sanction, anything like that, is extremely remote, and that's what it is." "We've got a simple question, and I think many Australians do too — why did you announce it?" she said. "There are serious questions around whether this ban is lawful under Australian law," the centre's executive director Hugh de Kretser said.
ScottyTheRacist
So WTF did he bring that law in. Decision making ability-zero.
All chicken but no butter .. another policy shambled & embarrassment
'pretty much zero'.... because the people over in India are now too scared to even try to come back with the 5 year jail term threat and fine ?......they all know Slomo's treatment of refugees so why would they not think this government would try and punish all travelers ?
Then why the threat
Chances of anyone being charged for being a whistleblower.. zero. Meanwhile... Witness K
Would you prefer 5 years jail or die of Covid in India?
Stay strong PM. You made a very difficult but right decision. Australia cannot afford to get the 3rd wave being the deadly Indian variant of CoVid19. Australians on our island continent need to be protected at all costs first & foremost!
He's a fool, appealing to his 'red neck' constituency in COOK, hoping his 'tough' stance will be enough to get him back as the Fed Member. This comment just proves he has no substance and relies on 'moments' to try for popularity. You can fool some of the people some of the time.
Then why announce it? Wtf
The Govt have just shown again that the minute they stuff up, or are backed into a corner, no one is safe. They will throw anyone under the bus faster than you or I can blink. If it suits them, they will charge people, they will malign people, they will detain people. We know it.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He Is The Evil One. Someone put us out of this misery.
Yes. That's scomos justice policy in a nutshell....
THEN WHAT WAS THE FUCKING POINT
Upsets too many people, so whistles a different tune - both these songs are unacceptable. And looks like lying hypocrisy to me, not government policy decision making. What an abusive clown.
Scott Morrison says fines would not be applied for citizens attempting to return from India. So why did his government announce it. I agree with the stoppage, but not rubbish statements that are subsequently withdrawn.
Because SkyNewsAust said so- what in the actual? I despise this government!!
I thought he recently said the only choice a PM has is 'the rule of law' 🤔......why invoke the Act then and declare it ?
It's all a farce on behalf of the LNP. The public must understand that any Australians can return from India without punishment at all . The threats made by these idiots are illegal, hence the zero possibility statement. Just another lie to add to morrisons thousands so far.
Just like any liberal ministers being charged for corruption…
Then why bother with that macho BS?!
Well that’s one way of having your cake and eating it on law and order policy. Would he say that about cannabis prohibition, because it’s equally true
Scomo sending mixed messages deliberately.
Only now hes been caught out and Alan Jones, Andrew Bolt, Sky and many others criticise him. He's not used to that!!
FFS. Morrison’s narratives have nothing to do with rescuing stranded Australians in India. It’s all about stirring up racial hatred and reminding the racists Morrison is on their side. Talk of imminent terror attacks and war with china is all designed to keep fear alive.
dodona777 Radio today. This latest Banin citizens has highlighted Australians don't have the rights we assumed automatically as Citizens and is now attracting attention . Quarrantine stations will be a thing from now on.
Why make the law then?
Not the point really.
dodona777 They were drinking when they came up with this latest racist dog whistle idea. Sounded good at midnight but after a day or so not so good.
I'M SHOCKED! Because EVERYthing else he's promised has absolutely happened...unmitigated c... ScottytheCoward auspol2021
dodona777 Then why the big stick being waved about Mr Morrison? Yeah we know shouty announcements are your substitute for ever actually doing something
I don't do the arrests, mate
the most embarrassing PM EVER
Then why bring it in ?
Someone said no more coal mine, so not very good.
Instead of threatening our fellow citizens with jail, ScottMorrisonMP should be helping make sure they’re safe in a crisis. But his failure to establish safe, national quarantine has left Australians less safe at home and overseas.
Yet another 'Marketing Message' gone wrong from Scummo and his mates then!
ScottMorrisonMP why make a statement if your not going to ensure that the relevant department is not going to take action! Again with bold statements. When was the phone call regarding the Australian Cricketer players and Commentators?
Same old story they do what they want and nobody takes responsibility
It's not about chances, its about mentally of your racist government.
Into the PoliticialTrashCan goes ScottMorrisonMP 'assurances' about NationalSecurity LawAndOrder HealthAndWelfare KeepingAussiesSafe of Australians auspol auspol2021 IndiaTravelBan COVID19Aus COVIDSecondWaveInIndia CovidIndia COVID19 COVIDIOTS COVIDー19
Then why put it in place?
Then why raise it in the first place? He is a divisive compulsive lier. Maybe he should have done the empathy training with Laming.
It was justified good on ya Scotty the right call was made
He shut the door on our Citizens and allowed it to be a criminal offence to make your way home. Unconscionable.
Well why are you enacting policies & procedures that allow for it to happen?
The screech of tyre's and the back peddling has begun. Oh that right it's an election year ! Don't want to undo all that vote buying with the give aways and freebies. There are Indian votes out there to be bought, Pathetic
Thank God he’s doing Gods work. Also means diplomatic staff repatriated from India won’t be charged onscottysteam MTFHGA
And if they try to come back and infect and kill locals charge them with manslaughter
So does this mean anything he legislates has a “pretty much zero” chance of being acted upon. Bc it sure feels like it
Why make the threat then? Going soft in your old age Scomo…..
Probably because the cricketers are kicking up a stink. How good is the cricket aye?
So, it is just red meat for the base, then? How Trumpian.
Who at this point wld trust Morrison on his words? Track record shows he'll spin anything to suit his agenda. We all know how they exercise their power to detain ppl - indefinitely. Unless they revoke the order, returnees from India are still at risk of being charged.😞 Auspol
WHAT GOES ON IN THIS MANS HEAD? Auspol
Then why release the info at midnight, in a strongly worded press release? Are all federal fines and punitive measures no longer applicable?
If zero why spend money on law that hasn't got no result. And why treat an Australian citizen like they don't count.
Sounds like that’s a LNP line “ the chances of any member being prosecuted for dodgy actions being jailed is almost zero”
How goods a backflip scotty
Why create a unilateral law then Stop repeating his bs ffs
So, another BorderFarce, courtesy of the Morrison government. Morrison again caught up in his own lies. auspol
Why even mention it then? Also why did you impose it just on India and not America and Great Britain when they were struggling with the virus?
The Canberra Toilet Hand Blower yet roars even louder.
He’s like a snake in the grass, signalling racist intentions by banning Australian citizens from India but now saying come if you want, as long as you play cricket! No worries kunt.
It dosen't matter either way, you have to do what is best for the Country. Easy thing with no repercussions is criticise.
'We only enforce and prosecute on our own laws when it serves us well'
When he acts then everyone bitches, when he doesn't, everyone bitches. Maybe if mcgowen said stop infected people with a new strain, then we would be happy. Wtf people..
Rescind this terrible decision . As a 74 year old conservative I find this to be the worst choice Govt has made. Bring them home!! “Where there’s a will”!
So what’s the point of the dog whistling ?
Why doesn't the United States sanction Australia for violating human rights？Should China also impose sanctions on Australia for violating human rights?Isn't this a political game that America and Australia often play?
As Australians we should be terrified by this announcement. The government is saying that it can choose to abandon citizens in distress overseas whenever it wants. This is not anywhere near good enough as both members of this society and the human race. Express your outrage!
So why threaten innocent people with these punishments
hairy chested, muscular Christian speaks garbage for ratings and then backtracks
chances of Morrison making an announcement and not. following through more likely.
So what is it that you are actually doing, Scotty? Dog whistling?
All announcement, no action, as usual.
Can someone ask why the need for a press release just after midnight then if they don't intend to follow through with this. Clearly this one wasn't run past the focus groups enough.
‘Pretty much zero’ sums up the pm’s credibility!
Back pedalling on fixed wheeler looks ridiculous.
Did Simpson, the chap with the donkey at Gallipoli, pick and choose who he carried to safety?
Damage control .... trying to reel in the shoot from hip early statement
The PM doesn't decide who gets charged with criminal offences.....who the fuck does this wanker think he is? ScottyTheChosenOne
Probably a breach of international law as well
Back peddling
The Biosecurity Act was legislated in 2015 including the penalty clause. The Biosecurity Act was put into effect in March 2020 when we closed our national borders. Who voted for the Act in 2015? Who opposed the penalty clause in 2015? Who opposed putting it into effect in 2020?
Yeah that because it goes against the UN laws. As the government has said they believe they following the UN laws yet when the UN brought up about 2 people cases. They were on the next flight home.
Inexplicable. He would have known the likelihood of sanctions where pretty much zero because the risk is the same, so why announce them? Dog whistleing. Leaving it to Pezzullo and the black shirts to show any compassion is folly. Look at the Biloela kids. auspol
Well that's called walking it back
Look it's pretty obvious really. Morrison is just trying to win over the One Nation vote.
Says: 'But as there is a law I put in place, why don't you try me? Come in, then we can see if you get arrested, and charged, and end up in court of jail, I mean I did warn you. So, do you feel lucky punk?'
