By Binoy Kampmark, published 17/8/2022

The next step is to make a balanced assessment about a form of government that can so easily fall to usurpations of power by the executive.

The mommy’s boy shout of victory before the coup de grâce of the defeated.

Our own very unoriginal version of the Democrats persecution of the previous incumbent Donald Trump.

How about an ASIO raid on Scott Morrison’s home, for the final twist of the knife. Pathetic.

Simply put, those who crave power for power's sake should like the former democratically defeated US President, Donald Trump never ever have it.

Ditto Scot Morrison. He will be tossed out whenever there is another election and should see the writing on the wall and resign.

As for Trump? He is not above the law and needs to face the legal music for his reported criminal activities. And can be guaranteed to use every legal trick in the book to evade his day of reckoning.

In the interim will have the begging bowl out to all those numskulls he has fooled and continues to fool for the millions he is raising for another tilt at the Presidency. A tilt that will never ever happen!

I don't see the point of bringing this up now. Anyone with the slightest observational powers knew what Morrison was like from the moment he and Turnbull stabbed Abbott in the back.

All legal apparently. Just sneaky; but surely, nobody expects anything better from politicians?

More to the point, what's in it for Albanese. More revenge for being born on the wrong side of the tracks? Spite?

Morrison is going to face public humiliation. His wife and children are going to face public humiliation. That should be enough even for a small-minded, mean character like Albanese.

In future, what is left of the Liberal Party needs to be a lot more careful who it gives the top job to. And we all need to take note of what a presidential system of the sort the malcontents want with their mewling about making Australia a republic.

It appears to me dumbo Albo and his mates are still in opposition. Why haven't they a positive government agenda to pursue? Don't they have one?

It was quite a spectacle to see Holy ScoMo front the journos today.

The Holy Man hasn't lost any of the nasty, all front no substance, evasive, habits that saw him and his bagmen-wimmin rightly booted out of office just under 3 Moons ago.

While Albo is wrong about his First Nation-Race leanings he is right to tear a few strips off ScoMo, before ScoMo buries his snout in a post politics $Multi-Million job for the boy.
