Haha - good observations.

the main thingthat strikes about these populist leaders (using the examples of Trump, Johnson and Morrison) is that for all of their near constant injecting themselves presence in the news cycles in public life, the general public overall has even less sense of who they really are, and really not many people would care to know either. They are very, very unusual people - it takes full-time facade and role-playing to pass off as being human - and even then its not remotely convincing to anyone paying attention.

Take Morrison for example, I still have no sense of who he is, really. He's not someone that I can imagine having authentic interactions with other people. As he supposedly said himself ''I'm transactional'' - that in itself displays an almost comical, and certainly inhuman, lack of self-awareness. This daggy dad persona is another example, selfies making curry, even the comments surrounding Brittany Higgins ''Jen told me you have to think of this as if they were your daughters'' (it seems very questionable his wife actually said this) but regardless, Morrison's lack of self-awareness in thinking it was a wise reflection reinforces someone who is straining to be human - but he just doesn't have it in him.

Morrison is very much who Hannah Arendt had in mind when she wrote about the ''banality of evil''. He allows monstrous things to happen on his watch, but he's never really been the ringleader. He's a joiner - a shallow, clueless bureaucrat. A carrier out of orders. And not a leader in any sense.

The only extent or position which appears to motivate him to do anything is his religious belief. And this makes him even more inscrutable to me. Although the one thing in Turnbull's memoir about Morrison which I think truly shed some light on him was how Turnbull recalled Morrison as being ''inconsolable'' after the gay marriage plebiscite result and how Morrison's own electorate had voted in favour of it and Morrison ''didn't recognise the country he grew up in anymore''.

Which leads to the other damaging thing about Morrison, is that inhabits a world very far in the past. He's not even in the present, and it shows. The world is changing very quickly, even moreso in the past three years with the pandemic. And at every single stage Morrison has been flat-footed, dragging his feet. Looking back and wishing it was 2019 again, or to some time well before then when marriage was solely the institutional between a man and a women. He lacks absolutely any imagination beyond his own personal ambition - they all do - Trump, Johnson etc. Complete empty shells masquerading as strong men.

usually donkey tbh, none deserve my vote, they are as useless as each other. You'll have a hard time proving me otherwise. (also my one vote doesnt impact anything). If i think someone is generally a fair bit better than the other candidates ill vote for them (more in a genuinely sincere and take them at their word type of person - i voted for dan andrews as he seemed a man of his word when he first became premier)

but, generally i think 'low-information' voters look whats best for them in the short term - tax breaks and money for things they're interested in.

Why vote donkey instead of informal? Informal is more of a recognisable protest

I can't see them knocking Morrison off

Hillsong will support him
Most of the far right will support him
The Moderates and the Wets/Small L, will stack up against him

On those numbers he would win fairly easily

I'd prefer he kept his seat and was forced by an ICAC to resign in disgrace pending criminal charges and the loss of post parliamentary benefits. Losing his seat let's him off.
 
I also want the Coalition to lose the election badly and then sort out the factional divides in opposition. If Morrison is replaced as prime minister before the election, there is some chance someone like Frydenberg could win. I didn't think Morrison could lead them to victory after the fiasco of Turnbull's removal, but he did.

The Born to Rule set talk about how it's unsustainable to give Australia's lowest paid workers a modest pay rise, but then they turn around and increase their own CEO bonuses by hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars.

They do not care. They love to sit on top of society's pile and spit at those below. That is what the LNP stands for.

yeah its pretty tone deaf by them; though Scomo is now saying "its up to fair work commission" which I get as an answer, because it probably isn't on government to set wage rates; but whether he could ask the FWC to prioritise a decision is another matter. Canavan also had the same answer on a newsradio thing yesterday.

Brilliant post.

Scumo invented Robodebt. A system that trapped thousands of people who simply followed the rules in informing the Centrelink system of the income each fortnight. The system then calculated their welfare top up as per the rules & regulations. Scumo then used the system to blame those people for incurring debt that indeed was the fault of the very system he was responsible for.

If the suicide & misery caused by that didn't bother him, it just shows what an inhuman POS he really is.

Said before, but like so many fake Christians, he prays to his God on Sundays, & preys on his neighbours every other day of the week.

He is a fake human being.
