As Leith outlines today, the Morrison Government is on the verge of opening Australian borders to China and the coronavirus to save a few bob for Aussie universities and property developers.

The OTIS group of disgruntled federal Labor politicians has helped Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese in a number of ways they probably didn’t intend. For starters, forewarned is forearmed. His supporters – which is a majority of the Labor Caucus and overwhelmingly the grassroots party membership – want ‘Albo’ to become our next PM and nothing else comes close to being second prize. |

Looking at the string of appalling statements from the rightwing commentariat in the last week or so, I have come to the conclusion that they must be involved in a private contest to “trigger the libs”, in the parlance of the Trumpist right, by making statements that will provoke social media outrage to be used either for mockery or claims of persecution as the occasion demands. |

There are multitudinous more deserving reasons why Scott Morrison might not want to look Australians in the eye than the oft-repeated talking point that he can’t predict what jobs will be around and what electricity will cost in three decades time. “I don’t sign up to anything when I can’t look Australians in the eye… The post Scott Morrison can’t look Australians in the eye appeared first on The AIM Network. |
