Minister admits to playing along with fantasy drone surveillance story

[@handlenameig]

Tubby couldn’t get a job in the private sector with his attitude yet he’s being considered for home affairs!? Hasn’t he given our farmers enough of the middle finger to be considered a liability to Australia’s security!?

[@VH-gw3qi]

Agree

[@KingsleyThomson-j1w]

Watt went on the ABC half cocked without the facts and made a fool of himself as usual!!

[@Ulrich_von_Jungingen]

Murray Watt does his best work laughing at the plight of struggling Australians.

[@TerrenceBosworth]

Watt is Albanese's newest mean girl. Replacing Gallagher who is keeping a low profile given her roll in the attack on senator Reynolds in the parliament.

[@franktully3065]

Thanks for doing a great job, senator Paterson. I think you'd make a good PM.

[@TerrenceBosworth]

Thank God for Senator Paterson.

[@FTY13]

If I only adults would stop playing and get into politics we wouldn't be praising God because we only have one decent guy lol

[@denisemcmahon1396]

Thank you Senator James Paterson👍

[@gregwaghorn8496]

WATTS needs to go missing, asap

[@roz7441]

And take the entire labor government with him

[@FTY13]

This is not the United states

[@lokibird2546]

How many umm,s do have to have to get a job like Mr Watts absolutely hopelessly outrageous

[@tlb2970]

At least 33? 😂😂😂

[@brutechurchill]

Don't they reshuffle the cabinet in order to prevent FOI requests being answered?

[@philipgould4438]

Murray tWatt thinks everyone is stupid.

[@FTY13]

Internet influences adults dressed as animals on tiktok . People more interested in playing with American technology as opposed to doing anything else I think he's right

[@scorp2011hd]

Senator Patterson NEEDS to be the PM of Australia👍 …. the lying Labor clowns MUST GO 😡😡

[@grey341]

The lying Labor clowns promise more free stuff using our taxes to many of our fellow Australians and that’s why they get into power in the first place. Many Australians don’t just want a free lunch, they want breakfast, lunch and dinner!

[@GeoffTrevenen]

I wouldn't have thought a chook farmer could be the minister for agriculture in this great country we used to have.

[@rob9340]

I think the very idea that drones are being used on our citizens is concerning enough!

[@brucejohnston3521]

you're not wrong OMG robots outside our front and back doorstep coming

[@franktully3065]

They were during Covid, in Vic at least.

[@c-ptsd46]

Google Earth?

[@FTY13]

I remember watching the Star Wars movies as a kid ,where they had drones going around shooting people and spying on them. we thought it was fantasy now it's real

[@VH-gw3qi]

it’s very obvious Watt has been in the public service a very long time, a bit of a smug smart arse 😉

[@TerrenceBosworth]

@@VH-gw3qi Watt is Albanese's new mean girl. Gallagher won't be around long once her role in the Higgins Wilkinson plot to attack Senator Reynolds in the Senate comes out in Senator Reynolds defamation lawsuit.

[@Hardwick989]

All labours lies and deceit are coming to the surface. There's so many,there getting paid a lot of money to do nothing but lie. So much for working for Australia.

[@Chrisbryant-q1j]

Labor needs to go suck of the liars and disgusting behaviour

[@FTY13]

This is nothing new politicians have been doing this for years and the only way to stop them is to get into politics yourself .

[@franktully3065]

The evasions and obvious incompetence of ALP politicians and very highly placed public servants absolutely sickens me.

[@FTY13]

People are more interested in playing now than getting into politics so there's no one to take their job and they know it so they don't care

[@bradyowe8236]

The only minister Watt should be given is Minister for grubby lies

[@daryl5379]

Can we make James prime minister next week please

[@tonyhanley9458]

How rhe hell can they get that wrong about using a drone to spy on people.

[@Bushkaboo]

Labor don't get anything right.

[@johnd1727]

They didn't get it wrong - they got caught with their hand(?) stuck in the cookie jar.

[@haych2489]

I’m surprised Watt didn’t say he employs Santa to keep an eye out since he’s up there anyway. I think the Chair was thinking the same thing trying to protect him.

[@MrMikeV00]

I almost didn't want it to end.

[@fionahobbs8818]

Wow, pathetic.

[@Darryl-o3z]

The money that we tax payers are paying we are not getting value for our money from these clowns in the public service and politicians it needs to change in this country

[@FTY13]

I was a professional clown for 30 years and I have nothing in common with these people whatsoever. Unfortunately you people seem to think that there's some sort of legal standard that they should perform at . They're not worried about losing their jobs because everybody's On tiktok dressed as animals as opposed to becoming community leaders

[@davidjohn6466]

Smart arse watts will never own up or answer a question honestly, he just uses blah blah, typical labor & the Chair protects them, what a joke,

[@Claire-rq6ff]

Sack Murray. He needs to be investigated. What a flop. A dishonest worm.

[@FTY13]

This is what happens when we're scraping the barrel with politicians because everybody wants to keep playing as opposed to contributing

[@BarbaraHambleton]

Bloody clueless Labor

[@bradyowe8236]

Why is Watt even there he’s the minister for Fisheries not Home Affairs

[@chrispayne4005]

She has more reverse gears than a Italian tank

[@normgodfrey3204]

Blame everyone else

[@TerrenceBosworth]

@@normgodfrey3204 something Albanese stated he would not do. He promised to front up every day and that he would always accept responsibility.

[@steeevo0136]

Where's Albadontblamemese in all of this ?

[@judycorbett4462]

It's Duttons Fault . "PETER DUTTON "!!

[@hanksyflamework]

speaker and watts seems sussy. but maybe i dont have much else to do other than be analitical of body language and behaviours of those destroying this great nation and comment about it. scomo 2.0

[@VivienneWest-k3n]

So the Australian government likes to take advantage of those who invest their money by up to Quarter of their own Pension, but it is OK to invest in a Family Trust Fund and have a full Pension. This is what those who want to in Australia should know. Because they and their children may find themselves in the position of losing part of their pension.

[@johndrury2028]

I'm sitting here, laughing to myself and shaking my head. What an embarrassment these people are. I'm sure Sen. Paterson knows their job better than they do.

[@tonyhanley9458]

So they are involved with other entities that=are using drones.watt needs to go. His sole job is to make sure NOONE let’s any secrets out, you see the speakers always look at him with a “do I take that one on notice”.

[@MrMikeV00]

You all need to get me from hospital. I still don't understand the laughter. I get it from your perspective.

[@tonyhanley9458]

It’s a fair question. What’s the big deal .

[@nk60001]

Please stay with fisheries. For all our sakes

[@nk60001]

These clowns could not guard a used car lot.

[@MrMikeV00]

I get to rest now. That's a nice thought. I can't believe police went so far as to bully my mother. Lucky she isn't the Queen or the King.

[@infidel202]

A cover up of a cover up that labor tried to cover up

[@YvonneCrean]

Could Watt be any more smug and incompetent.

[@judibee28]

So the drone use to monitor detainees was wrong because they didn’t have drones, but they went back to check the original furphy and changed the story to tell that the drones (which they didn’t have) were used to scope out areas around accomodation? Wtf “investigation” took place to double check the story about drones when there weren’t any all along?

[@MrMikeV00]

When Patterson says stop I stop. But no crime from me. Im gonna Nick a pack of chips from shop.

[@MrMikeV00]

Now I'm going to get shirtfaced.

[@GeoffRowe-k2p]

Watt? Minister for deceipt and Lies!

[@gregjenkins2925]

Stephanie Foster and Murray Watt, again shows how they continue the lies and protect each other, and we know who is the "simple" "matter"..

[@robertwanless2025]

What a huge load of blame sharing.

[@MrMikeV00]

The legislation says journalists must maintain a right to entry. Now think about what actually may have happened to Brittany and what could you do if a person was already a preditor and gets all his tools right there at the scene. No one would suspect that ever. Ever. Just like your all gonna say I'm crazy. I kept thinking about how. That's how. Someone placed it there. Probably not the security guard.

[@MrMikeV00]

I think pm needs to make a call.

[@MrMikeV00]

I'm worried for my future but we had a monstrous foreign interference issue I'm still working through it.

[@Perfect1child]

This is all news to me I haven't seen or heard anything of this in Victoria... How plutocratic is Victoria as a state?!??

[@MrMikeV00]

That's the game. I don't know how to feel right now. I suppose ill do something.

[@MrMikeV00]

Im very proud.

[@hans2020]

Poor old low Wattage. 😢

[@roz7441]

Watt is an utter fool

[@MrMikeV00]

I thought I said that. Suppose they have to answer for themselves. I'll make no further comment. I don't hate anyone. Im very dissatisfied and disappointed. Good luck.

[@MercedesW2O5_C250]

Everytime I see Stephanie Foster I see ineptness and often feel borderline corruption

[@Hombre632]

That chair is just a condescending brown stain on a mattress.

[@kkcw6668]

The Commonwealth isnt doing what it was designed to do... be greater than the sum of its individual parts where positively geared benefits are afforded to member states and citizens of the Commonwealth to offset the cost of participation.

[@MrMikeV00]

Everyone passes the buck but who's gonna catch it now?

[@johnmu7034]

How do these public servants keep their jobs.

[@MrMikeV00]

My soul is dead.

[@MrMikeV00]

But me and the shopkeeper has a tab. He knows I pay back.

[@MrMikeV00]

Ever pissed ina bottle to get back to work? Probably not.

[@MrMikeV00]

I hope it ends soon. Have not lived in a long time. The AFP went straight into my room with no warrant the other day. I might be messy but I can when shit has moved around.

[@MrMikeV00]

I'm already dangerous. No guns no knives nothing. Leave me alone afp.

[@GLB-f7s]

There is nothing "Hon." about Murray Watt!!!

[@MrMikeV00]

My career better not be over. I don't even remember who I work for. Goodluck.

[@MrMikeV00]

Maybe senator still needs an advisor. Probably work for a group that doesn't exist. I want to go up. Deeper whatever it's called. Infact I already requested to work for Defence to begin something like Z special unit. That would actually make me smile.

[@MrMikeV00]

Am i still a radical?

[@schweppes59]

Murray has never been too bright, as his eyes are too close together to have any sort of comprehensive intelligence.

[@MrMikeV00]

If you could pick anyone why would it be the guy that was always ready for it. I read man. I don't play sports.

[@MrMikeV00]

Its a shame.

[@MrMikeV00]

Would've converted that to a hypersonic ball and gave it back. Not AFP.

[@BobLachal-il3yz]

Murray Watt , Cynical and useless. Perfect politician.

[@MrMikeV00]

Can't you just stand up during sitting and leave. Just leave. let him stand there hanging on to his bloody lecturn by himself. Put the question time live camera feed up. Just him there and no one else. Watch the tantrum ensue.

[@MrMikeV00]

Thanks. I hate this. I hate myself more but of send the little red engine back. I would've I'm not upset.

[@MrMikeV00]

I don't know what to do.

[@MrMikeV00]

I called them they are either on their way to myself or they will get wise and lay down on the floor when the squadron comes. Federal police in Afghanistan to investigate us. Power trip. There is only one lot that does foreign and domestic that's us. Those that serve the cheif of the ADF. Fithy. They knew me for 2 years. I knew about this for 13. I don't know what I like anymore. That's a new record. I think.

[@MrMikeV00]

National intelligence group or whatever the fark. I can't check them.

[@MrMikeV00]

Im here.

[@MrMikeV00]

Probably won't be called that. AUKUS was my idea and that was a side mission. That was very emotional and not planned. Very verbal. Scomo did write it on paper and someone tried to destroy it. Touch my boats. Probably the units moto now.

[@dodgeboy9052]

Its quite obvious .. these people are NOT up to the Job ... we need more than a reshuffle .. we need a new pack of cards... !! Its clear to see that they are all buddies .. drinks after ... sorry mate about the hard questions... !

[@MrMikeV00]

I think I clicked on now but I'll give you call at the appropriate time Senator Paterson. Or at least i will try. See how it goes. Maybe i get yes yes yes yes.. ~ like its the voice mail tone but the beep never comes and its definitely a human im talking too.

[@MrMikeV00]

Should ban AI for politicians right. That way you always know by some measure that the AI is a business or public production. Just worked that out. I was thinking how to do this for a long time and not interrupt art and expression of freedom or freedom of expression same same to me. So if journalists do this of politicians then they may be liable for defamation. Which is exactly what it would be right?

[@MrMikeV00]

Hahaha 5:06

Not my call though. I'm just the useful as fork idiot.
