PM appoints Greg Moriarty as next ambassador to the United States [ABC News]

But Joe Hockey said Dutton would be great for the job!

Non-partisan appointment is welcome. (Though we probably could have won more of Donnie’s favour if we’d found some plastic bimbo to front up instead.)

> “He is deeply familiar with AUKUS and will be a critical leader in driving AUKUS to implementation,” Mr Rudd said.

I *really* hope we’re working behind the scenes to dump this brainfart of ScoMo. This is a massive threat to our national security.

From the story “Mr Moriarty has served as the Defence secretary for nearly a decade, and was previously chief of staff to then-prime minister Malcolm Turnbull.”

Maybe the Yanks could learn something about being bi-partisan. People can be good at their job and work for pollies and parties from both sides of the aisle. 

You don’t have to sack people because they worked for the previous administration. 
 

Sussssan Ley: It should have been Peter Dutton or Tony Abbott. What t-shirt was Albo wearing when he announce this?

So this is how I find out I didn’t get the job ☹️
