Is Scott Morrison the most tin-eared Prime Minister we’ve had since…. well… Tony Abbott? That press conference he gave the other day where he tried to express sympathy for women then ended up attacking a News Corp journalist and threatening every other journalist there about stories he’d held was classic Scott Morrison. But he seems to get away with it. So far we have: An allegation of a female staffer raped at parliament house and covered up. An allegation that the attorney general raped a woman who later committed suicide and the government now pretending that no investigation is possible. A staff filming himself masturbating over a female MPs desk and circulating the footage. Eric Abetz allegedy sending nasty tests about Brittany Higgins and slut-shaming her. Andrew Laming allegedly stalking female constituents online and turning up to a park to photograph one, plus multiple witnesses stating that he upskirted a woman at her place of employment. Part of me thinks they can’t survive all this. They have to lose office at the next election but…. maybe they won’t? Maybe it will all be forgotten by them and everything will carry on as normal. Depressing times.

Newspoll out today and Morrison’s approval rating is down 7 points (still very far ahead of Albanese though) and the ALP is now ahead on two party preferred. There’s a ministerial reshuffle coming soon to try and distract from the government’s shocking performance. https://www.news.com.au/finance/work/leaders/scott-morrisons-approval-rating-plummets-in-latest-newspoll/news-story/00cfbf114863625c68d8cb64fb78e848 Also today a National’s MP, Anne Webster, says she was sexually harrassed on the floor of house yesterday. She wont say who it was but she’s made a complaint to the Nationals, so another Nationals MP? https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-03-29/parliament-rocked-by-another-sexual-harassment-claim/100034614

As much as I love watching his numbers go down, I’m a bit horrified he’s still ahead of Albanese. What will it take for people to see how awful he truly is?

JC88 to be fair, i dare say if there was digging, both sides as bad as each other. Given most people forget albo exists, i dont think he will do much *said as a neutral, i do believe they as bad as each other at the end of the day. Money and power corrupt, they have both

Could this be the first stoush @squeekems ? 😅. I think Albo isn’t given the airtime, and I think it’s a deliberate ploy by Murdoch. The Morrison government is not adequately held to account by our media, and eg. He doesn’t go on the 7.30 report etc. I think Morrison government is much, much worse.
