Der Spiegel: Scott Morrison in 'dire straits' and the Australian government is sinking into a scandalous swamp. Berliner-Zeitung, Le Monde, Le Figaro, the Washington Post, Bloomberg...1/
theguardian.com/australia-news…
2/ The Washington Post focused on Morrison’s “disastrous” press conference on Tuesday, with the headline, “Facing fury over sex scandals, Australia’s leader fights tears – then retaliates in outburst at reporter”.
3/ Morrison dug himself a "deeper political hole" and quoted Kirstin Ferguson as saying “The fish rots from the head … I just can’t imagine what would happen if there was a board responsible for Parliament House.”

 Well, if #ScottyFromMarketing had ambitions to be the politician everyone was writing about internationally, I think he got his wish...

The brilliant @latingle nails the PM's true colours, in case some people couldn't see them. "Let me share a basic insight about Morrison...This prime minister speaks almost exclusively to one cohort of voters: men at risk of voting Labor". 1/
theguardian.com/australia-news…
2/ Swinging male voters might won’t notice this phenomenon - they "bask in the warm glow of Morrison’s undivided attention".
If you are not a swinging male voter you feel excluded by the PM’s presentation & messaging.
3/ If you're not a swinging male voter, you feel excluded because the PM’s not talking to you - he's never talking to you. Because Morrison thinks like a campaign director.

But Morrison has been whacked hard, by an event that wasn’t on his permanent campaign plan. Poor Scotty!

Tracey Grimshaw asked Scott Morrison why he didn't reach out to Brittany Higgins after she spoke out publicly. He said it was "daunting".
Doesn't get that speaking out publicly about what happened would have been more than daunting for Brittany Higgins.
It's always about him.
Still refers to Ms Higgins as "Brittany", although he doesn't know her, hasn't spoken to her. Overly familiar. Morrison is #ToneDeaf, with the EQ of a gnat.
He assumes to know Ms Higgins trauma or how it unfolded. Referring to the lack of support provided "As she became more traumatised by these events...".

Where to start? 🤦‍♀️
Morrison's standing has been internally diminished?
No doubt but how slow are members to only just be waking up?
And what of his 'standing' externally? 1/
2/ Slow on the uptake but apparently members of his govt have FINALLY drawn the link between Morrison's mishandling of the Black Summer bushfires & the past month's allegations of rape, harassment & sexism.
Wow.
3/ "Both required human empathy, an ability to read community sentiment and judgement — important traits for a Prime Minister".
I'd say, important traits for a human being...
According to Speers, "more than a few" Lib MPs believe...

1/ Without wanting to be unkind, it's evident from looking at Scott Morrison that he's prefers to be a spectator of sport rather than a participant.
When he ran for Cook, he developed a character. A rugby league loving, everyday bloke, a daggy dad.

2/ Morrison hadn't followed league but he learnt about it. He became the Sharkies number 1 ticket holder, wore his scarf, waved it, & drank beers.
This character, eventually named ScoMo, was used to gain a following & send political messages.
#ScottyFromMarketing was astute.
3/ Recently, @CricketAus were naughty. They made a decision, after consulting with Indigenous leaders, to promote inclusion. #ScottyFromMarketing was not happy.
How dare a sports body interfere in political matters, he argued.

 Recipients are made ACs “for eminent achievement and merit of the highest degree in service to Australia or humanity at large”.

a. Can anyone explain how being accomplished at hitting a tennis ball competitively (having already been recognised for this) ticks this box?
2/ b. I have tried researching, to found out what Margaret Court, in her life beyond hitting tennis balls very well), has given the "highest degree in service to Australia or humanity at large".

I haven't found anything that ticks this box.
Am I a not-very-good researcher?
3/ If anyone can provide evidence of Mrs Court's service to Australia or humanity at large, could they let me know what this service has been?
