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.
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...

4/ ...Morrison has now failed to demonstrate in two separate political crises.
No worries though, the PM's leadership is safe, according to colleagues & some are more forgiving of his "missteps" than others.
🤦♀️Wow...😳

5/ Rest assured everyone, "more than a few" Lib members realise Scott Morrison is incapable of empathy & his reputation as a 'miracle' worker is in tatters. 🤦♀️
His perceived "infallibility" must surely be in question, after his Tuesday press conference.

6/ The PM's mea culpa was followed by an angry outburst where he made a factually incorrect statement, citing a complaint of "harassment of a woman in a woman's toilet" at Sky.
An observation, is this the first time the PM has been called on & forced to correct...

Raising any such confidential complaint & weaponising for political purposes calls into question Morrison's judgement, temperamental unsuitability for PM (if we didn't already know this).

8/ On gender quotas - Morrison has apparently had an epiphany.
In 2018, just weeks into the job, Morrison said quotas were "never something I have supported". His 2019 International Women's Day statement is well known.

9/ "We want to see women rise. But we don't want to see women rise only on the basis of others doing worse."
On Tuesday, Morrison claimed "my colleagues know that I have been open to that conversation for some time".
🐂💩

10/ "It smacks of a man caught in a crisis," said one Liberal MP privately, "throwing principles out because he's got nothing else." Another immediately worried whether his own preselection would be at risk.
11/11 Yes indeed, Morrison is caught in a crisis. Crises test leaders. A really good leader would recognise the great opportunities for real & lasting change for the better.
But of course, Scott Morrison isn't a good leader. #auspol
