In response to the pandemic Morrison doubled Newstart - which finally meant welfare recipients could stop skipping meals just to make ends meet. It took a global pandemic for him to consider letting people on benefits live above the poverty line! But it’ll all be reverted back down in 6 months - or maybe even less! So he doesn’t really care about caring about the poor at all, he just didn’t want people who needed temporary assistance to hate him and lose votes! He’s also decided that the votes of the disabled community don’t matter because unlike other forms of support that were doubled - the Disability Support Pension remained low and instead got a one-off payment of $750 instead of a boost. In fact some people had their NDIS support cancelled and are unable to get essentials so Morrison has pointedly ignored vulnerable people and let them suffer!
Scott Morrison literally said Australia never had slavery. He just outright erased Australia’s colonial history - Indigenous people were stolen from their lands and community, forced to work, and were exploited and had their wages stolen - even up to the 60s and 70s. What an abhorrent denial and ignorance of Australia’s racist history.
When a female Minister was directly asked about her experiences with a culture of disrespect and sexism towards women Scott Morrison IMMEDIATELY INTERRUPTED HER and gave a completely pointless and rude addition to the conversation over the usage of the words “bonk ban.” Way to prove how much of a sexist dickhead you are Morrison!
Morrison chose to end JobKeeper and drive people on Centrelink payments under the poverty line BEFORE THE VACCINATION ROLLOUT EVEN BEGAN!
AND we’re also dead last on climate action OUT OF THE ENTIRE UN!! So it’s hard to find a country in the entire world with a worst climate action record than us - if that exists!
