VK3AUU,
No, the best that can be said about him is that he's a much much much much much better leader than that traitor Abbott (who let his hatred of the ABC stop us from broadcasting into China, and who did immense damage to the economy in pursuit of short term budgetary targets that brought us no advantage whatsoever).

Go Scomo! My kinda leader. May your 2020 Christmas in Hawaii be unencumbered with burning desires back home.

The lack of polarisation in Australia makes us zer superior to the US of A.

Natürlich! My only beef with Don's epistle is where Don claims Scomo "adheres much more closely to the Old Testament than he does to the GOEBBELS."

By which Don means http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Goebbels

Yes, I vouchsafe, Scomo was in advertising and Goebbels was in propaganda, but zie similarity zer ge-endeth, I dink.

Zis Goebbels was not funny! http://youtu.be/7xnNhzgcWTk?t=4m

Za Var was not funny!

I think the Morrison govt is doing a good job.

For those who want a harder rightist govt, it aint going to happen.

Any understanding of politics tells you why; public concern about global warming, especially in most important NSW and Victoria, makes any success minded govt wary of rocking the boat as the more right wing are inclined wish to.

Same is true of a decent welfare system.

So when the righters have a go at the Coalition leaders, you are really having a go at the public which forces a party's hand, at least one in the business of winning and implementing pragmatic change.

Sorry guys

Very true Chris Lewis

OLO is "graced" with an inordinate number of rightwingers who look fondly at how Trump has traumatised and polarised the US further towards the right.

Most Americans and Australians, by their vote, don't want the right.

Yours is an important point that Scomo remains moderated by the good sense of the electorate.

Cheers

Pete

I just saw Trump has awarded Scott Morrison with one of America's highest military honours.

Must have been for the Battle of Cobargo where Morrison led the charge from the Holiday Gardens Hotel in Hawaii and everybody in Cobargo except him was too tired to shake hands after fighting the bushfires.
