Lies and questionable political tactics have made the comparison between Scott Morrison and Donald Trump more valid than ever.Īnother cohort is older people - specifically, the sort of retirees who could be tricked into thinking Bill Shorten was coming for their franking credits, whether or not they had any or even knew what they were. Scott Morrison wants to be Australia's Donald Trump Wealthy people are not used to be being inconvenienced or being forced to do things like what 'the poors' are doing - like scrambling around supermarkets looking for food or queuing up for rapid antigen tests that don’t exist. Obviously, the Liberals have historically been the party of the wealthy and poorer people who believe they’re a millionaire-in-waiting a group which is happy to vote against their current best interests in the hope that one day they’ll be sitting on a big pile of negatively-geared investment properties and laughing at the unemployed. That’s badly tarnished the Liberal brand, but the collapse of supply chains, the lack of testing facilities, the collapse of our hospital and ambulance systems and the complete lack of the rapid antigen tests Morrison keeps insisting is the responsibility of markets and individuals has absolutely demolished his standing with three cohorts without which the Coalition cannot possibly win. That was already a big ask before new Premier and pro-market 'Slenderman' Dominic Perrottet unleashed his Morrison-endorsed plan to abandon most health restrictions and embrace living with the virus - a plan which turned out to be based on assuming everything would be fine and taking absolutely no steps to prepare for any other outcome. This requires the Government to hold onto every seat they have, successfully fight off the campaigns from climate-minded independents and pick up a bunch of marginal seats from Labor.

The only – the absolute only – possible hope that Morrison has to not be booted out on his arse is to make a clean sweep of NSW while minimising losses elsewhere. Under Prime Minister Scott Morrison, Australia no longer displays compassion and humanity towards those in need. Scott Morrison has destroyed Australia's humanity If anything, they’re going to struggle to keep what they’ve got.

And despite being told that this was necessary for the economy, that’s also collapsed as customers stay home and workers drop like flies in essential industries, almost as though there’s some sort of link between the state of the economy and healthy people being able to work and spend.Įven the most Coalition-hopeful observer knows that Morrison’s going to lose seats in WA, Tasmania and probably South Australia, and at best break even in Victoria meanwhile, the 2019 victories in Queensland means that there aren’t that many winnable seats that the LNP don’t already hold.

SAY WHAT YOU WILL will about notoriously inactive Prime Minister Scott Morrison: when he does finally make a move, he has a magnificent instinct for turning a single problem into a majestically cascading series of catastrophes.Īfter sacrificing much of the last two years, the Australian people have been rewarded with a Federal Government presiding over COVID-19 cases and deaths the likes of which we’ve never seen. The failings of the Coalition Government have finally dented its support among its core constituencies that are crucial to its re-election efforts, writes Andrew P Street.
