Public health is an irritating distraction as we emerge from the darkest hour but it must not prevent the glow of the Morrison dawn from breaking through.īy contrast, the Victorian Premier, Daniel Andrews, followed the Morrison National Plan to the letter by relaxing lockdown orders on Friday as soon as 70 per cent of Victorian adults had been vaccinated. The National Plan is a re-election plan, pure and simple. We have an economic crisis, said the ex-state Treasurer and that crisis trumps public health. There will be those who seek to undermine it but he insists they come with sinister motivation.Īnyone who thought the National Plan is about the virus needed to do a swift mental reset when the brand-new NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet all but overruled the health considerations of the pandemic within the first few days of taking office, doing so with the enthusiastic approval of the PM. Good Australians fix their sight on the dawn by following the National Plan. We must not fear the virus, he insisted in a major speech about his National Plan in August those who do fear it are “cave dwellers” stuck in the “darkest hour that comes before the dawn”. On the bothersome matter of the virus itself, the PM reminded us again recently that it’s not something that should trouble us. Time and time again, Scott Morrison has demonstrated that he is ill-equipped to serve in a position of power, writes Paul Begley. Scott Morrison, what the bloody hell are you doing? And he knows the Murdoch press and Clive Palmer’s war chest are on his team. However, it’s a race in which he holds a strong hand because although the election must be held before May 2022, the starting pistol is in his hand and he can decide when to pull the trigger. He’s aware God alone won’t get him over the finish line in front, as he showed in 2019 when more than $700 million was splurged on sports and car park grants to marginal electorates to assist the divine cause. There has been only one race on Morrison’s mind for the past three years and it’s the race towards his re-election as God’s chosen one. He belatedly realised that line hit a wrong note, but there’s little doubt it’s what he meant. When it was apparent to anyone who was half awake earlier this year that vaccination was the most urgent issue on the national agenda, the Prime Minister assured us repeatedly, despite not ordering enough vaccine supplies, that vaccinating Australians was “not a race”. mentor Donald Trump, Prime Minister Scott Morrison has never been genuinely interested in becoming involved in the public health dimension of the COVID-19 pandemic and that remains true today. TO ANYONE paying attention, it’s now increasingly clear that, like his U.S.
Having failed Australia through environmental and health catastrophes, Scott Morrison will likely focus on saving the nation from China to win re-election, writes Paul Begley.
