With the start of the federal election campaign, Scott Morrison is now free to concentrate on doing what he does best. Making announcements.
In Morrison’s case, he has a well-established announcement problem. Labor likes to taunt that he’s all announcement, no delivery, he’s there for the photo op, never the follow-up.Anyone remember how Australia was going to be “front of the queue” globally in getting vaccines, for instance? Oops. The liberating thing about election campaigns is that politicians can’t possibly deliver any of their new promises until they are elected to government, and that can only happen after the voting has finished. So it’s open season.This is why trust is so tremendously important. No promise in a campaign has any standing greater than the trustworthiness of the person making it.
The uncomfortable fact for the prime minister is the public’s opinion of Morrison himself. His term has been defined by disasters and crises – bushfires, pandemic, justice for women, floods – and he’s been judged a failed crisis manager in every case. In investment parlance, he is trading at a steep discount to the value of the nation he leads.
ScottMorrisonMP yep. there is no truth, honesty or respect for the voter from any politician
ScottMorrisonMP Really? How much truth was in his announcement?
ScottMorrisonMP Goverment payed our $500.000 to cover up Truge misgivings , our ex Attorney General walks free , what else are the Lib/Nat goverment covering up.
ScottMorrisonMP Have I read he wants people to vote for 'more of the same'? Isn't that what we're worried about?
