As Bernard Keane points out (Crikey, November, 2021 ‘Morrison’s high-tax, big spend, do lots (for mates) government’) the Morrison government is in fact doing lots, its crony capitalism spending and taxing at record rates.
You just can’t help yourself ScoMo. Your shallow brain has come up with the slogan “Can Do Capitalism; not Don’t Do Governments.” The smug assurance on this one has ironically invited the commentariat to come up with satirical variations to sheet home government hypocrisy. My tentative contribution is “Can’t Do Capitalism; Won’t Do government.”
If government is not doing, why persist with it? A return of Scott-the-Announcer will result in more overweening triumphalism, a suite of new lies, a do-nothing policy hiatus, solutions to problems we don’t have and deferment of those we do have. Preferment of mates will continue unabated and unchallenged with no Integrity Commission.
The mantra is inconsistent, the logic flawed, but will voters detect it or again vote contrary to their interests?
