He's hopeless

I'm certainly hoping that more people are beginning to realise the asinine incompetence of Scott Morrison and the  LNP generally.   The sex scandals in Parliament are being appalling handled by a government more interested in self preservation than doing the right thing.

 Now, I see Morrison has apparently got all teary eyed about not wanting to let down his wife, daughters and mother.   Hasn't anyone told him to stop personalising it this way, as if he has no moral sense of sexism and misogyny unless he can personalise it to his own life?:


 And then he gets irritated with a media question:

And as Bernard says:

Update:   Yes, I keep thinking how the Coalition's moral authority on sexual conduct collapsed when its most conservative wing had Barnaby as a shining example:

Update 2:   I wonder.   Certainly the media's reaction to Morrison bringing up a sexual harassment incident within one of its outlets is so hostile, is anyone in the party starting to think leadership spill?   Maybe Dutton is getting itchy counting fingers again - although, really, his gradual (but now complete) scary head-morph into Darth Vader without a mask, or scowling version of Mr Potatohead, rules him out forever.  Frydenberg is surely the only person with a hint of charisma left in cabinet?  

Another thought:  isn't it ironic that sex in the workplace has caused the LNP so much trouble in recent years - I mean, arguably, Tony Abbott lost his job because many in his own party suspected he was sleeping with Peta Credlin.   (And, funnily enough, the most common opinion seems to have moved on to believing they were not, after all; their behaviour together just weirdly looked like it.)   

Similarly, it would be somewhat amusing if sex in the workplace (that he had no direct involvement in) brought down Morrison.

Morrison is all spin and no substance.
Until he changes he is toast.

Just remember he has not denied members of his staff backgrounded against Higgin's boyfriend (which Katesy willingly joined)

Abbott lost his job as PM because they thought he was going to lose bigtime the next time there was an election.

funny how Morrison 'knows' what is occurring at News but has no idea of what is occurring in his own office re Higgins allegation

I don't know why Morrison is struggling with recent events. He seems to be losing control of his emotions and has lost his usual upbeat nonsense. He looks vulnerable, perhaps the redistributions, some sitting members choosing not to contest the next election, recent polls, and something else we don't know about(internal polling, more pollies choosing not to sit at the next election), has spooked him into realising for the first time that he could actually lose the next election to the most boring opposition leader this country has seen.
