Your timely reminder that a politician's business is not 'problem solving', it's 'risk aversion'.

A thread:

That's why you see them sit idly by when issues persist - because even though they might be able to solve a problem, if doing so poses a risk, they will always choose inaction.

We see it with their approach to social and economic issues consistently.

We see it in how they call for Royal Commissions when issues come to the forefront - not because Royal Commissions solve things, but because they avert and divert the sense of risk.

And we can see it in every single action @ScottMorrisonMP has taken through this catastrophic event.

At no point has he acted through the lens of 'how can I solve this',

Instead every action he's taken makes sense if you view it through the lens of 'how can I avert this risk'.

Which makes the solution for us, the public, very obvious.

We need to continue to make inaction a risk for him. Because that's consistently proven to be the only thing that will get him to act.

We need to be relentless. Because if he has any hope that our energy will subside, that gives him a reason to maintain a status quo.

And the status quo is becoming too damn dangerous.

(Sorry if my grammar sucked. I'm very frustrated).
