Below commentary written in 2021 - An updated commentary for 2022 follows.
Ugh. Just… UGH!! Scott Morrison, as Prime Minister of Australia, does nothing for women, let alone Australia in general.
Truly. He’s a bland, unimaginative opportunist who lacks empathy and compassion.
His foibles are far too extensive to mention, so if you’re unaware of just how repulsive and tactless he is, do a search on him and all that he’s ever said, done or “achieved” during his political career.
All you’ll find is nothing but shallow lip-service, policies that cater only to the corporate sector and his political donors, and most importantly and equally damaging, a complete lack of integrity or conviction in anything.
If you really want to see what this man encompasses, however, watch the video of when he met Jacinda Ardern - a true politician of integrity and merit - and when she offered her hand as a greeting, he crassly leaned in forcefully for a hug, going as far as to state as much by saying “Give me a hug,” in front of the press in what was far from a request.
Watch ANY interaction of him with women. With anyone. He’s the embodiment of white, male privilege along with greed and conservative conceit.
But anyway, enough about him. Scott Morrison can go fuck himself.
To all else, happy International Women’s Day.
** Update - 15.05.22 **
With the Federal Election looming, and Scott Morrison’s popularity very deservedly having taken a dip in the polls, Morrison has very recently stated that he now admits that he needs to change his character, and that he will indeed do if given the chance - that chance being voted back into parliament for another term.
In the time since this comic was originally posted, Morrison has since made numerous other comments and decisions that only lend weight to the implication that he regards women as second-class, a view that I’d personally suggest he holds for anyone who doesn’t serve purpose to him.
This comic is a reminder of who this man, Scott Morrison, is with all his promises to change and do better - a statement that's so intrinsic to that of an abuser that I could only wish it was a cliché. It's not a cliché, it's a very real fact of what his mindset is, a mindset that leads to the detriment and - in his hands as Prime Minister - the very literal deaths of others beneath him.
A promise of change means nothing when his actions and words of the past are of the ilk that should have NEVER been taken or thought in the first place if he truly was the man of integrity he'd have us think he is.
Shame on him for then.
Shame on him for now.
Shame on him forever.
