Seats with large numbers of Chinese-born voters, like Chisholm and Bennelong, swung hard against the government. Polling in the Chinese language Sydney Today suggested that Chinese-born Australians were not big fans of Defence Minister Peter Dutton's advice to Australians to "prepare for war". But the most egregious of these thieves, in Morrison’s mind, was Bruce Springsteen. “For years people have been saying to me — you know, nudge, nudge — have you heard this guy Springsteen?” Morrison griped to The New Age in 1985, right when Born in the U.S.A. was at its most ubiquitous. “And he’s definitely ripped me off … [and] I feel pissed off now that I know about it.”

To the external eye, it looked like a deliberate strategic gamble; that the PM believed he could afford to burn professional women (and possibly some leafy Liberal seats) because he'd capture blue-collar men in outer suburban areas.

F.A.Q’s

I’m glad Van took the path that he did, which led him in February 1980 to a haunted monastery in the French Alps. For 11 days, Morrison and his band experimented with an open-ended mélange of atmospheric jazz and rough-and-tumble R&B, as well as dashes of new age music. While he couldn’t have known it at the time, Morrison was dreaming up the next 38 years (and counting) of his career.

Farmers estimate it costs up to 32p to produce a litre of milk but the average price paid for milk fell to 24.06p in May according to figures from the non-profit dairy company AHDB Dairy.

The Morrisons CEO is bullish about the business’ ability to capitalise on the “supermarket renaissance” precipitated by the Covid-19 pandemic, which he believes is evidenced by the return of the “big shop” over the past six months. What if Van Morrison had continued making albums in this vein? What would his career look like now? Would his reputation beyond diehards be wider and deeper than just Astral Weeks? Would he be slightly happier? But I’m sure there is a kinder and more graceful way of declining. “You’re making a big thing about it and it’s not a big deal,” he continues. “It’s what I do. I don’t know what you do, you’re probably a journalist, that’s what you do.” This is not about me, I tell him. Morrisons is pushing for growth as it looks to become a “broader, stronger business”, having increased like-for-like sales by 8.7% year on year during the 26 weeks to 2 August.

Morrison’s work has always in part been about words failing, about inarticulacy and the gulf between the emotion and the tongue. We know value and price will prevail and I believe Morrisons will emerge stronger than before. New Morrisons hitting the ground running with a new future.” We are vertically integrated and therefore this idea that 25% of the food we sell we make ourselves is actually true. That’s an important differentiating mark in the company’s trading offer. Clearly great value is crucial to us, we are a value supermarket business. Many of our customers are on a budget where the budget means a budget, it doesn’t mean spend what you like. We combine that with our very friendly colleagues who are fantastic, they’re the best part of the whole company,” Potts told Marketing Week. The one abiding truth I’ve taken from writing songs is that they will be misunderstood. But as long as they carry that mysterious note of yearning, that longing for some greater knowledge, they will, as Bob Dylan once said, get up and walk around the room on their own.If we listen very hard to customers they can give us a lot of clues as to what they value and find unique about Morrisons. From that emerges the identity.” Morrisons CEO David Potts Would he, in fact, rather it remained a mystery? “No, I’m just saying it’s OK if it is. I don’t need to probe what I do. You know?” His voice is flinty. “It comes naturally. It is what it is, as they say. There’s not a lot of intellectual pondering about what I’m doing, it’s very kind of instinctive and intuitive, and that’s it.”

Does he himself intellectually ponder other artists or writers? Morrison contemplates the idea for a moment. “Uhhhh, maybe,” he says. Might he care to name them? “No.” ‘It’s just music’ Until 2004, Morrisons had mainly been in North England, but its presence increased significantly in South England, Wales, and Scotland with Safeway’s takeover in that year. ACT Liberal Senator Zed Seselja — though counting continues — looks as though he might lose his seat, an unprecedented result surely related to the PM's airy promise last week to further fillet the public service. Looking ahead, as long as we keep listening to customers and colleagues and keep listening to suppliers and shareholders, then the company will continue to innovate.” Next phaseIt is a sound that says more about his music, his life, his psychology than he did in the entire 16 minutes and 28 seconds I spent in his company; a sound he does not have to explain. – Guardian News and Media 2019 When Leigh Sales asked Scott Morrison in the final week about the threat to the government in the "teal" seats, he replied in effect that voters in those seats were rich enough not to have to worry about real issues. Get a grip, Seymour. Euphoria is dangerous. It leads to places, triggers uncouplings, broken hearts, messiness. It would apparently be wrong to read too much into Berliner’s return, or to delve too deeply into Morrison’s affection for his playing. “Well, he’s just a genius. You know?” he says. “I mean what else, what other reason?” But where and how does that genius show itself? Where does it hit him? Morrison stares at me. “It’s just what he does,” he says bluntly.
