It is hard to believe that it's the day before the election.
Exactly 3 years and a day or two since the 2019 May Miracle that got Scott Morrison the top job for the last 3 years. It feels more like 33.
Back then he had only been in the job for 8 months and aside from the odd rant about the joys of coal, he had not done too much to piss many people off.
That all changed in December 2019 when he was in Hawaii on holiday while Australia burnt. I don't think most people resent a Prime Minister having a Christmas get away with his family. But it was what he did when the shit hit the fan that revealed his true character.
He tried to hide the fact that he was away on holiday. He did not return to Oz as soon as he realized the seriousness of the fires but tried to lay low hoping it would all blow over. Then he really put his foot in his mouth firstly by insisting that Jen and the kids wanted to go to Hawaii, then the immortal words that may be written on his gravestone "I don't hold a hose, mate"
Ted Cruz then did an encore of sQomo's performance by escaping to Mexico while Texas froze.
When Scott Morrison finally returned and did the hard hat, hi vis tour of the bushfire affected areas, he managed to turn it into a bunch of sQomo photo ops. Particularly appalling were the endless rounds of non consensual hand shakes with exhausted fire fighters who had every right to be peeved because in April of the previous year, a group of them repeatedly tried to get meetings with him to warn about the upcoming fire seasons from hell along with a list of actions to mitigate such disasters. sQomo kept fobbing them off.
The Feds did reasonably well during the beginning of the COVID pandemic but mainly because they were dragged kicking and screaming by the states. sQomo wanted to do a Boris Johnson. Just let it rip, herd immunity etc long before a vaccine was even near the drawing board.
Then he spent the best part of 2021 pissing off the women of Australia with the cover ups of a rape that took place in the offices of Parliament a few doors down from his office. Then the stories came out about dirty deeds done on desks and how the cleaning crew was sent in to the rape crime scene instead of detectives.
I can only hope that Australia thinks of 3 more years of sQomo the same way that the USA thought of 4 more years of trump.
The alternative Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has done a lot of stumbling, bumbling and fumbling on the election trail but I'd rather vote for a party led by some one incompetent but decent who delegates to the smartest people in the room (which he had to do when he came down with Covid while on the campaign trail) rather than a party that cares only about big coal, big gas and big bucks led by a nasty narcissist who is not only incompetent but also malevolent.
A creep who tackles seven year old kids at a football game just for photo ops. Such a lack of judgement is far worse than not knowing the current Reserve Bank cash rate or the unemployment rate.
Because it is much easier to change what you know than to change your character.
If sQomo does get the boot, I will be all ears to hear what Emmanuael Macron will have to say about it.
