    The funny thing is, he was only supposed to be a temporary leader... a night watchman until the election that they were supposed to lose and then regroup with a new leadership team (after most jumped ship or lost their seat).
    With shorten being less liked, Morrison was the lesser of two egos, and winning the unwinnable election made him untouchable by his party.

    Yep. A sad state of affairs. They changed the rules so he can't be unseated. And judging by alot of the sentiment coming out atm, the public have no confidence in him as a leader, and we have no power to do anything unless a vote of no confidence is put to the house of reps. I don't see anything changing and feel defeated already

    Fact check....

    He can still be changed at any time, just need 2/3 majority now.

    Easier than changing labor, which need 3/4...

    I realised that after I posted it. Made it harder to unseat him.

    This scene continues to upset me no matter how times I see it. A woman begs the Prime Minister for help and all he does is turn his freaking back on her and walk away.


    Don't blame this firefighter for refusing to shake ScoMo's hand. Firefighters are willing to get themselves pretty dirty, but not that dirty.

    That's not the worst of that photo opportunity, after the PM walks away the guy in the hat has pulled her close to him and looks to be kissing her on the cheek, creepy and inappropriate.

    Nah, Morrison saw his chance and took it banking on the fact that Dutton would've lost the election, the whole preferred PM is a load of bollocks, I have family in Morrison's electorate and he rarely engages with his constituents also remember the Beaconsfield miners, the mine collapse took place during the Howard Government, not one member of the front bench showed up but Bill Shorten did and he went to the May elections with a plan to combat the bushfires which our lovely Murdoch media then ripped to shreds because it couldn't be costed and look at what happened, towns wiped out, people died, the PM attempted to sneak out of the country meanwhile the opposition leader is doing his best, donating food and water to the fireys, being there and engaging even if he's copping flak. Morrison has nothing on Shorten or Albanese.
