Two men, roughly the same age, vastly different worldviews.

World’s greatest athlete Kelly Slater launches personal fusillade at Australian prime minister over inaction during calamitous flooding, “Nothing sort of appalling”

"Scott Morrison is actually the biggest joke in Australian history."

The world’s greatest athlete and current world #2 surfer Kelly Slater has slammed the Australian prime minister Scott Morrison for his government’s dreadful inaction, a trademark of his administration, during calamitous flooding on the country’s north-east coast.

Morrison, who is a fifty-three-year-old  former child actor (tellingly, he played cunning pickpocket, the Artful Dodger in Oliver), is famous for holidaying in Hawaii while Australian burned during the cataclysmic bushfires of 2109.

“I don’t hold a hose, mate,” Morrison explained of his vacay during a disaster that killed almost five hundred and incinerated eighty million acres of land.

While posting messages from fans about the flooding, Slater wrote, “The lack of federal assistance in the flood zones in northern NSW has been nothing short of appalling. The stories from friends are hard to comprehend. But the gathering of local communities has been inspiring to watch from afar. So while the MP @scottmorrisonmp and cohorts pat themselves on the back or poke fun at people who ‘live in the gum trees’, the communities will continue to get on with the tasks at hand in helping their neighbors. 

Twitter and Instagram users were mostly universal in their praise of Slater’s pointed criticism.

The greatest surfer of all time has just fly kicked the worst Prime Minster of all time,” wrote one,

although another fired back with,

“Kelly Slater is NOT the best ‘surfer’ in history … don’t you people have access to books?”

Weird.

If not Kelly, who?

“Please Sir, can I have some more”

How about you lay off the pies ScottOliver Fucking Twistingcunt and do something for these people.

Cunt!

peter zedaK

… and the biggest dumb fuck in the history of surfing is the anti vax, JR blowing, eco polluting, lying golfer, KS!!! Let’s hear it for him!!

ricmatic

Accident or intentional – kook either way.

Sellme fitzgobbins

“apparently hundreds have died”
A handful of people have died (under 20) , driving cars through floodwater mostly
Kelly making up facts again
Scomo is a total joke/ fuckwit of a PM , i,ll give him that

Blade

He got my 3 nephews out of fire ravaged Mallacoota 2 years ago on a massive navy ship deployed from Sydney’s garden island ,it arrived within 48 hours of the fire ,from 500km away and ferried tourists and locals another 500 km to Melbourne then back again for another load of people. Not to mention the army’s excellent efforts at bringing in fuel and food .
Can’t fault the government effort,not to mention the centerlink crew who came in once roads were cleared by army working alongside local crews and signed up anyone who was without income due to the disaster. Not many nations could manage that

slvrsurfer22

Is the no vaccine Slater even allowed in Down Under, they kicked Djokovic out

Panda's sack rash

Has Kelly had a minor stroke?
One side of his face is sagging slightly.
Chas?

Gil Gunderson

Fire? Floods? Pfft. Everyone needs to chill on Scotty, he’s just preparing for the locusts.

Seriously, it’s disgraceful. Love to all on the Far North Coast.

Uneducated

Scotty is fighting back now…about to declare events in northern nsw a “natural disaster”…only took 10 days to work that one out…sharp

Eesha Williams

he said hundreds died — it looks like it has been 20 so far

Die Grit Die

Unfortunately in this scenario it looks like Kelly’s misinformation is closer to the truth. Not sure why it’s not being accurately reported on yet, but I know of 16 people found dead just on one street in NSW so safe to say 20 for NSW and QLD is way under. Maybe not hundreds, but way above 20 🙁

Eesha Williams

the cataclysmic bushfires of 2109

ptsdsurfer

I think the bloke was referring to Jeebus, the man that walked over water, the first surfer. It’s all on that book, I don’t recall the name now, but it’s not hard to find.

Bush

Andy irons it can be argued was a better surfer than Kelly slater. More raw, more powerful better airs , just as good a tube rider and charged harder.

Low wide stinkbug stance

Curren better imho but an argument can be made for the duke.

Sell out

Juiced to the eyeballs as well

Hope this weather event doesn’t affect the wave pool development

Apeman

How did labor lose, in the wake of legendary Bob Hawkes passing? ScoMo does seem like a useless twat.

Popvaditecclesiae

Bought and paid for by the chicoms

Stalin

Coz they are more corrupt and useless relative to the libs. Don’t know what it is about Labor and China?

AI (for ever) .

I have to correct him about the army unloading a trailer, it was already full of flood damaged goods so they filmed themselves unloading it than turn the cameras off and loaded it back up.
All caught on social media.

Scomo and co need footage to show they are doing something!

AI (for ever) .

The rich are high and dry

astro

What a giant shithead.
Making a national disaster about him, a fucken non-national, non-expert voice.
Motivated by concerns for people he knows …. Sound familiar ?
Maybe he’ll brew up some bone broth that he’ll personally distribute before flying to Bells.
Scomo pull rank and ban the cunt.

ValiantScorn

Everyone who used the bone broth got better. The numbers for the sheep that went to the hospital and died are staggering. He’s not a big enough retard to take a shot of poison, and all the sheep are jealous. #PUREBLOOD

astro

They also drank water and got better….

Jimmy the Saint

I thought he has gotten himself vaccinated so he can complete down under?

ValiantScorn

Yeah,….me too. Vaxx papers for everybody. I know 10 different agencies that offer said services.

Jimmy the Saint

He is obviously is “a big enough retard to take a shot of poison” as you call it! Otherwise he will be a criminal who is breaking laws to protect the most vulnerable in that society. Which is it? I’m confused? Is he a sheep or a scumbag?

ValiantScorn

Hmm. Need another dab to sort this out. I’ll come back to this one.

Popvaditecclesiae

The guy brings world wide publicity to a people needing help, and not getting it from their government. Then you get your panties in a twist cause it makes your tribal leader look bad. Typical commie.

astro

He’s doing nothing but boosting his IG numbers.
Scomo not my leader and neither am I communist.
So take your ill-thought assumptions and shove em.

Popvaditecclesiae

You claim he boosts his IG numbers, thus more people hear about it. I did not hear of it until he proclaimed it. No body cares about Australia in my part of the world. So, thanks for proving my point.

Blade

Don’t ever come fuckface

Popvaditecclesiae

What are you talking about? Who are you small hearted coward? A man tries to help people in trouble and you get all wussy face. What is your hate about? Can you even articulate it?

Eesha Williams

Millions of people die of starvation in Africa every year. I haven’t heard Slater mention that. I might have missed it.

Jimmy the Saint

Millions? Really? Millions?

Popvaditecclesiae

Excellent example of a false analogy logical fallacy. Ole JP can use that for his students, thanks.

Australia does have a federal election due soon – and voting in Australia is compulsory, not discretionary.

I doubt American Surfer Kelly Slater’s opinion of the Prime Minister will have any influence on Australian voter decisions at all, but people may be so incensed by the federal government’s lack of assistance after this catastrophic flooding, there could be a change of government.

AI (for ever) .

We are also pissed about the lack support for the bushfires.

He can give profitable big business 20 million each for shit and giggles but everyone else goes without.

Comment from a Barnby Joyce staffer saying “ it’s not all bad at least the north coast hippies finally had a shower “ are simply unforgivable!

Popvaditecclesiae

I like your mask. Virtue signal much?

Simsurf

I haven’t voted in twenty years. They send a little card out after the election and you write migraine and pop it in the letter box. No thanks needed.

JSC

“Magnate” – not magnet

channelbottom

Fucking Magnets. How do they work?

Stick man

What is Alaska? Who is Brazil? Are Volcanoes really just an “angry hill”?

Urchin Sepsis

Is that when you pair a magnetized Prince Albert piercing with a magnetized clitoral hood piercing?
