Mojo ♻️<p>The Murdoch press is banging on again about the “worst government ever”. No surprise there — but we don’t need to dig too far back to find a real contender. The Morrison government takes that crown by a country mile. Here's why:</p><p>Secrecy and Scandal<br>Morrison quietly swore himself into five extra ministries without telling the public or even his own cabinet.<br>Add in the sports and car park rorts, where public money was splashed around marginal seats like Monopoly cash.<br>And let’s not forget Robodebt: an illegal, automated cruelty that drove some to despair and led to a royal commission.</p><p>Climate Denial and Delay<br>He literally brought a lump of coal into parliament.<br>While fires and floods worsened, his government blocked real action on renewables and dragged its feet internationally.<br>At global climate talks? Sometimes he didn’t even bother showing up.</p><p>COVID Bungling<br>“It’s not a race,” he said — as the vaccine rollout stalled and the country locked down longer than it needed to.<br>And when things went wrong, he pointed fingers at the states instead of taking responsibility.</p><p>Corruption and Control<br>Promised a federal ICAC — never delivered.<br>Presided over raids on journalists and a creeping culture of secrecy.<br>Public broadcasters and key institutions were politicised and muzzled.</p><p>Wedge Politics and Division<br>Ran culture wars on everything from gender to Australia Day.<br>Kept the far-right sweet while banging on about “quiet Australians”.</p><p>Call that leadership? That wasn’t a government, it was a slow-motion train wreck in a smirk.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>auspol</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/murdochmedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>murdochmedia</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/morrison" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>morrison</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/accountability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>accountability</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/worstgovernmentever" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>worstgovernmentever</span></a></p>
