7 February 2022
Media commentary ‘Mean and tricky’ memo man backs ‘real deal’ Morrison' The Australian Newspaper by National Editor Dennis Shannahan. Shane Stone described Prime Minister Scott Morrison as authentic, the real deal in his experience when it comes to disaster response. The article also referenced events around the so-called ''mean and tricky'' memo in the Howard era when Federal Liberal Party President Stone warned the then Prime Minister of dire electorate dissatisfaction with the Government of the day. Prime Minister Howard seized the moment and changed the direction of the Government going on to be re-elected against what was considered a certain Beazley led ALP victory. These events were also discussed on the Ray Hadley 2GB radio program with Dennis Shannahan.
