Peter Henning’s article is ‘spot on’. . . summarising succinctly the ugly exposure of our Government’s lack of moral compass.
Fears of climate change and a growing awareness of the shabby nature of Scott Morrison et al’s business acumen (or lack thereof) meant this Government was partially elected to address these concerns.
Imagine the shock when :
* Tanya Plibersek not only failed to close existing coal mines but approved the opening of new ones.
* Anthony Albanese not only allowed Dutton/Morrison’s Aukus deal to continue, but encouraged Richard Marles’ backslapping and lockstepping with the American ‘military generals and leaders’.
* Penny Wong’s expressed a duplicitous and callous response to the Gaza genocide, so clearly outlined in this article.
This Government is oblivious to their mistakes and inadequate performances.
An example of this is that politicians generally (independents excepted), seem to misunderstand the ‘social’ nature of social media. Their postings on Instagram for example are oblivious of the ‘implicit’ interactivity of the platform. The IT employee whose job it is to post Albo etc, in hi-vis jackets ‘doing PR stuff’ does an admirable job, but it’s all one-way.
They are not hearing any opinion from the hoi-polloi. . .
