Agreed. ScoMo has two things going for him. No more Trump, and Labor hasn't got what it takes to win.
If I had to list the number of shadow ministers without using google, I would struggle to get past two.

Morrison clearly is very good at playing I am everyone's best mate, daggy dad routine while hiding the dead bodies of scandal after scandal and really not a lot of damaged done.
This while removing penalty rates from the lowest paid and trying to bring in draconian laws covering nurses, police and fire unions.
I think he will get another term as Australia edges closer to US culture.

- #Sportsrorts was the most egregious of the Morrison government’s grant frauds and the $3 billion Community Development Grants are by far the largest and most blatantly corrupt, but they are by no means the only pork barrels rolling through key electorates.
Regional seats in general and Queensland electorates in particular are being fed a steady diet of federal largesse for everything from parks and gardens to funding “Messy Play Days” at toy libraries. (Really – $19,935 for seven Messy Play Days, the stuff of ministerial press releases.
And now the potential political influence of federal handouts is being turbo-charged under the headline of COVID stimulus projects.
Michael Pascoe: Grants rorts? Wait, there’s more …

I hope Albo, doesn't go too far down this road, it will be another shoot themselves in the foot story IMO.

A pretty blatant example of Morrison's morals and allegiances in his Press club Q&A today.
People who made mistakes through no fault of their own or indeed made no mistakes at all were harrassed by robodebt, some to the point of suicide, but companies who took taxpayers money to pay their employees but instead paid it to their already overpaid executives get off "Scott" free.
"Politics of envy" ? Absolute tripe. The politics of entitlement more like it.
Disgusting.

Australia's submarine and warship projects are in trouble.
It will be interesting to see what the Defence Minister Reynolds says at the Press Club today.
Why can't we do big projects anymore ?
The Collins subs copped some criticism but were recognised as being very capable.
Our governments (both parties) seem to think that we can't do anything for ourselves anymore and leave it to foreign companies.
Bad move in my opinion.

Looks like we will have to wait for Linda Reynolds.
She has been admitted to hospital on the advice of her cardiologist.

Check out Yes Ministers approach to government inquiries of potentially disastrous situations.
Very relevant as ScoMo grapples with three intersecting sexual assault stories .
The update on the allegations against a current senior Cabinet Minister in the Murdoch press is sharpening the ax. One critical element is that the incident occurred interstate.

Warning to PM in rape claim letter
Scott Morrison is under pressure to stand down a minister at the centre of a historic rape allegation and to hold a parliamentary investigation after he received an anonymous letter, penned by “friends” of a dead woman who told police she was raped in 1988, calling for “justice”.

Background of the young girl at the focus of the allegations against a current Cabinet Minister from a woman who went to school with her.
IMV there is no way the identity of the Minister can be kept out of the public domain. Not investigating it properly effectively tars 15 other Cabinet members with the same changes. After all it could be any of them.
Another critical issue is the likelihood of other people coming forward with similar charges. Historically a person who has behaved and gotten way with the alleged assault will have plenty of form.
With the public uncertain about which Cabinet Minister is the gun, the risk for all Ministers is that many more actions could come to life that touch other Ministers. Of course there is no issue if there are no skeletons to be rattled...

Bill Shorten had similar accusations raised against him and it came to nothing.
He did not stand down as Leader of the Labor party.
Why should people stand down simply because of accusations ?
Of course if the police investigate and find enough documentation to indicate that a crime took place and a certain person was responsible, that's a different matter.

Chaser says it all. 
Police call off investigation after burglar “categorically denies” robbing store
March 1, 2021
Police trained at the Morrison institute for crime investigation have today solved every crime in Australia after asking the perpetrators if they did it, and then just letting them go if they say ‘no’. “Shockingly it turns out 100% of criminals in our murder investigations were wrongly accused,” explained one officer. “Even the ones where there was overwhelming evidence turned out to be innocent. It’s really changed our perspective on things.”
The new investigative technique, devised by Prime Minister Scott Morrison when investigating staff members, is expected to save law enforcement billions of dollars over the next ten years. “Finally we can allocate money to where it’s really needed,” explained one officer. “Like strip searching random teenagers on public transport. Because nothing makes people feel safer walking down the street than the threat that a bunch of adults might force teenagers to take their pants off. Round of applause for the boys in blue.”

Indeed it could be.
Or it could be an accurate reflection of how ScoMos defense of the alleged Cabinet rapist is just so LAME..

Until it is investigated, it is only trial by media, but that seems to satisfy a lot of the general public.
It would certainly be dumb of Morrison to sack anyone over unproven allegations, the police will no doubt investigate and if it is proven one would assume he will be jailed.

Well, that's the problem with this case, the complainant is dead so it's unlikely the case will come to court.
The issue is whether Morrison is willing to have a possible rapist in his Cabinet.
If there is other evidence, like statutory declarations from people she told about the event, then there is a possibility that these will come out in public and then Morrison would have to act.
It could get very nasty for him.

Bill Shorten was investigated by the police. Totally cleared. Of course that didn't stop Sarah Henderson throwing it up as if it was something new.
There are two possibilities in this situation.
1) The woman who suicided last year spent her entire life in a delusionary fantasy that she had been anally raped when she was sixteen by an ex. private school boy in 1988 or
2) The woman who suicided last year left a long and detailed history and corroborating evidence of an outrageous rape which effectively destroyed her life. That includes her diary from the time. This was a girl who was at the very top of her classes. She was was remembered as exceptionally smart, creative and kind. For the rest of her life she watched as the person who destroyed her glittering prospects become a leading political figure - in fact a very important Cabinet Minister.
It's worth realising that the supporters of the deceased come largely from Liberal supporters who knew her well.
