Probably the worst Prime Minister Australia has ever had, certainly in living memory. Competing with Tony Abbott, whose worst excesses at least were reined in by the Senate.
The world is just a little better without you in power Scotty. You won’t be missed.
Peter Dutton looking to give them both a run for their money.
Spud would love to get some runs on the board, but luckily his personality will keep him and the LNP out of power for a cycle or two.
You must be too young to remember Howard.
Howard, for all the many terrible things in his legacy (Iraq War, work choices, and the extreme politicisation of refugees are the biggest ones that come to mind), at least has one thing that we can look back on and say was definitely good, and another which was probably necessary. (Our gun laws and GST, respectively.)
What can be said positive about the Prime Ministerships of Abbott and Morrison? Because off the top of my head, I can’t name a single positive policy for either of them.
I was very anti-GST when it was implemented. I honestly didn’t think it would stay at 10% for more than a year or so. I looked at the UK VAT, and assumed it would happen to us like that, as well.
I am very happy to have been proved wrong on that one.
We often hear about the suggestion to broaden the GST, but honestly I think that would be the worst thing we could do. I’d sooner see the rate of the GST increased while narrowing the range of products on which it applies, than support any suggestion to broaden it.
Yeah, nah. He was shit but the current crop float to the top of the septic tank.
Get fucked cunt.
“Global corporate sector” … so resource extraction basically. Put me on your board and I’ll have a word to Dutton for you.
Exactly what i thought. It immediately made mebthinkbabout David Graeber’s book, Bulls**t Jobs.
Not just a former PM but also Minister of Health, Finance, Treasury, Home Affairs and Industry, Science, Energy and Resources.
The first PM to serve a full term since Howard also tried to circumvent our democracy. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out
Fuck you and your absolute joke of a career, scummo.
I hope the very public ineptitude and career-long string of failures see him blackballed from the private sector. Sadly, I suspect he’ll continue to profit from his former posting that he left under a cloud of corruption.
Good riddance Scuntmo ya fuckwit… Ya robodebt murdering happy clapping degenerate c*nt
Good riddance Scummo, don’t come over to visit. NZ hates you as well.
Wouldn’t piss on him if he was on fire!
Good. Fucking. Riddance.
And the country celebrated the loss of the worst PM and enemy of democracy
Yeah but…We fucking elected him.
We knew exactly what he was like and we voted him back into fucking power.
It took him that long to line up the next gig? Typical.
What does Jenny have to say about this?
I only know about this man because of friendly jordies
if i saw him on the street i reckon I’d end up in gaol
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Mr Morrison had initially indicated an intention to stay on in federal politics after the Coalition’s May 2022 election defeat, sitting on the backbench.
Mr Morrison took to Facebook to formally announce his exit from politics, thanking his local community, family and friends.
“Just letting you know (especially everyone locally) that after more than 16 years as the Member for Cook, I have decided to leave parliament at the end of February to take on new challenges in the global corporate sector and spend more time with my family,” he said.
The former prime minister wished Opposition Leader Peter Dutton “all the very best” and congratulated him on the “great job he has done leading our Party and the Coalition since the last election”.
“In the time he led our country, Scott presided over some of the most difficult challenges an Australian Prime Minister has known since the Second World War; most notably COVID-19,” the current party leader said.
In 2022, it was revealed the former prime minister secretly took on joint responsibility for the health, finance, home affairs, industry, and treasury during the height of the pandemic.
