ScoMo in SloMo slide toward fatal collision at next election : Comments

By Graham Young, published 28/1/2022

The next federal election will be held no later than May 21, 2022. It looks like a re-run of 2007 with an overlay of 2019.

Morrison or Albanese, the people will remain as self-centred & probably become even more so than they're now.
The only difference is if Albo gets in the Public Service will become unaffordable & unemployment will go through the roof.

Just read this from a professional commentator;

"Mr Morrison must drop his conciliatory approach and unleash his inner mongrel. He has spent too much of the last two years pandering to the egos of Labor premiers when he should have been attacking them for their disastrous, heavy-handed, and ineffective management of the pandemic…".

Too late for that; and we have seen nothing to suggest that Morrison has an inner mongrel to release since he won the election he was not supposed to win. He has lost it.

Listen, every boy and his dog believed that Donald Trump had a snowflakes chance in hell of beating Hillary!

So, if Scomo pulls a rabbit out of the hat, like say, unveiling a new form of pollution and carbon free propulsion that gets us to zero emissions a decade from now and a decade ahead in very advanced transport and space exploration? He might suddenly surge ahead in the one poll that counts?

The pollsters have been wrong before and dramatically so! And may do so again if the P.M. captures the imagination with an announcement that will create huge export dollars, thousands of new jobs, that all together massively reduce debt!?

The main threat to Australia are ABC/SBS & the hangers-on who support Labor for obvious reasons.

Another reason for Howard's loss was the perception that his government was "mean and tricky", essentially bereft of ideas and running on "their record" but when struggling voters are constantly being told they never had it so good any remaining electoral gloss wears off quickly.

Morrison is being seen as someone more interested in his government, personal self-promotion and photo-opportunities and is a political reactionary - big on making announcements but seldom delivering on them.

He is politically at the mercy of the whims of the Nationals and relies on the votes of a couple of extremists and an accused rapist to pass legislation.

Albanese may be offering to restore funding to the ABC but Morrison has handed over at least $30million to Rupert Murdoch allegedly to "promote womens sport" but taxpayers have to pay to see any result, which is just adding insult to injury.

As well as a litany of scandals and bungles, the stench of corruption has also hung over this government since the election with frequent announcements of contracts handed out to donors and supporters without going to tender and is a sign of their arrogance.

Months before his electoral loss Howard admitted knowing he was "dead meat" but still spent almost all of his acclaimed final "surplus" on desperate electoral bribes leaving little left for the incoming government. It will be interesting to see what a desperate Morrison may yet do.

rache,
ABC/SBS & unions perpetuate this perception to this day. Why people who call themselves Australian do that is anyone's guess !
It is my perception that these people had it too good & easy for too long & that causes a degradation of whatever little common sense there was to start with !
