The Prime Minister has dismissed a scathing character assessment from one of his own senators, arguing a disgruntled Concetta Fierravanti-Wells is simply “disappointed” her time in federal parliament might be coming to an end.
The veteran Liberal took to her feet in the Senate after 9pm on budget night to pour scorn on Scott Morrison, accusing him of having no conscience.
“His actions conflict with his portrayal as a man of faith,” Senator Fierravanti-Wells told the upper house.
“He has used his so-called faith as a marketing advantage.
“Morrison is not interested in rules-based order. It is his way or the highway — an autocrat, a bully who has no moral compass.
“In my public life I have met ruthless people. Morrison tops the list.
“Morrison is not fit to be Prime Minister.”
Senator Fierravanti-Wells lost a preselection battle within the New South Wales Liberal Party over the weekend, seeing her bumped down the party’s Senate ticket to what is widely considered an unwinnable position.
“I know Connie is disappointed, having lost the preselection of some 500 members on the weekend,” the Prime Minister said this morning on the ABC’s AM program.
“Six years ago I strongly supported her and ensured that she was able to be re-selected. She was very happy at that time.
“But now, after being unsuccessful on the weekend, I understand that she’s disappointed — and I join a long list of those that she’s said these things about at times like this.”
