I had forgotten how much I disliked Scott Morrison as Immigration minister under Abbott until I searched back through posts here. He has, deliberately, softened his image since then; and to be honest, I think I did feel more kindly towards him after he appeared with Annabel Crabb on her one-on-one in the kitchen show.
But, he really does strike me as a blustering flim flam man at heart in interviews.
In a way, I think he shares a bit of the same (in)sincerity problem that Shorten suffers from. Something about both of their deliveries in interviews and debates often hits notes of blustery insincerity.
But Labor does not have at its heart a corrosive internal culture war/climate change denial fight going on for its soul. And, genuinely, they have been doing decent policy work on at least tax.
Labor will deserve to win the next election, and I would be very surprised if Morrison can help the Liberals avoid a significant defeat.
