Scott-the-Announcer has been called a liar by French President Emmanuel Macron. A master of dissembling, Scotty doesn’t understand non-lying. As Nancy Sinatra sang, “you bin lying when you should a bin truthin”. A leader without agenda, Sco-Mo promised little and delivered less. This is the age of rear-view mirror administration from a Claytons leader, a self-made man clumsily constructed, the archetypal vacuous pretender.
The weekend edition of the SMH (Oct 30-31, 2021) brought “froth and bubble” (excerpt from The Game: A Portrait of Scott Morrison by Sean Kelly) and Ross Gittins “Praying for costless climate change”. In this, and other public policy arenas, Sco-Mo has arrived late to the party. The plastic plates and cups have been binned but the chimera remains, caught without a rationale for inactivity, his speech a predicate searching for a subject.
Holding back the tide is proving vexatious for the Federal Government while its constituents lament opportunities wasted and momentum lost. When both the ethics and competence of this government is reviewed it will reveal a legacy of lies and falsehoods, distortions and obfuscations, for Sco-Mo’s daughters to emulate. Who will step forward as the new arbiter of what is Australian and the real Australian Way?
