I cannot say for certain by the time this is published we won’t have another Prime Minister but at the rate we are going, I wouldn’t say it’s off the table.
The change in leadership happened in a blink, just like the terms served by each Prime Minister following John Howard, who was the last to serve a full term.
It is astounding to realise Australia has had seven Prime Minister’s within just ten years.
I don’t know why this comes as a bit of a shock - I don’t know whether it’s the fact the Liberal Party is full of backstabbers or that our government in its entirety is a disgrace.
But where did this all come from? Only a few weeks ago Turnbull flipped the switch on his opinions and now we have a new PM.
The government seems to be stuck in primary school where opinions didn’t matter, however they are ill-minded to the fact they are responsible for millions.
As treasurer, our new Prime Minister voted to cut $1.9 billion from public schools in 2018-19; voted eight times to cut penalty rates; 10 times to give the big banks a $17 billion tax cut; 26 times to block a banking royal commission.
Surely this isn’t a big deal, right?
The only common sense I’ve seen from the government recently is derived from Richard Di Natale’s speech that shone light on some very real issues affecting many Australians.
He discussed the drought, domestic violence, the struggle many Aussie’s face to pay for medical bills, homelessness, the price of education, just to name a few.
Food for thought: perhaps if education was more affordable, we would have more level headed people in parliament.
Di Natale is right on the money, well, so are members of the Liberal Party which is why we have so many wanting to play swapsies with jobs.
Sunday’s Newspoll revealed Shorten was the nation’s preferred Prime Minister with 39 per cent support against Morrison’s 33 per cent - a gain of 7 points for Labor and loss of 11 for the Liberal’s.
I wish I could be happy for you Mr Morrison but until you start making some decent big boy decisions, I’m unsure that my frown will turn upside down.
