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>
Devorppa<p>What did <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Morrison" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Morrison</span></a> do to deserve Australia’s highest honour?</p><p>Just look at the extent his government shovelled taxpayer dollars to consultants compared to the last ten years.</p><p>All those consultancies donated back to the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/LNP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LNP</span></a>.</p><p>Let’s see … can I spell systmic corrptn … systomec coruptn … cystemic coruptn … no, it seems not.

Devorppa<p>Hey <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ChangeOrg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChangeOrg</span></a>, can you run a petition for the elimination of the existing Australian Official Honours system?</p><p>Giving a <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Gong" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gong</span></a> to <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Morrison" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Morrison</span></a> is the final straw. </p><p>If there is to be an Australian Honours system going forward, it should be limited to people who do stuff for which they are *not* paid. That is, honours should not go to anyone who just does the job for which they are paid - politicians, Governors General, CEOs etc.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>auspol</span></a><br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Change" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Change</span></a>.Org<br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Honours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Honours</span></a><br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Corruption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Corruption</span></a></p>

Jude🇵🇸<p>May I just add one final word on today's <a href="https://toot.community/tags/Morrison" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Morrison</span></a> shitshow? If it wasn't for Sally McManus (sec of the ACTU), Morrison would not have initiated Jobkeeper, as it was her intense lobbying that pushed him over the line. She's the one who should get the gong, not that she'd accept a piece of shit like that anyway.
