Scott Morrison, Australia’s 30th prime minister, has said his government deserves another term because of its strong economic plan.
Scott Morrison began his parliamentary career in 2006; He became the Prime Minister in 2016; And won the coalition in the 2019 federal election.
Scott Morrison began his parliamentary career in 2006, representing the Cook Division in New South Wales.
However, he initially lost the pre-election to Michael Took.
But that result was overturned by Liberal state executives, and Scott Morrison won the by-election.
In a media interview in early April, Michael Took claimed that Mr. Morrison used his Lebanese heritage in 2007 to weaken him.
However, in response to the allegations, Scott Morrison described the claim as objectionable.
Scott Morrison said: “This is a completely untrue, corrupt and bitter blasphemy which is extremely offensive.”
After winning the coalition election in 2013, Scott Morrison became Minister of Immigration under then-Prime Minister Tony Abbott.
While in that role, he set up Operation Sovereign Border, which had a strict immigration policy aimed at stopping asylum seekers from coming to Australia by boat.
This policy covers issues such as temporary protection visa, offshore processing and boat turnback.
Mr. Morrison also served as treasurer from 2015 to 2016.
In December 2019, Scott Morrison went on vacation with his family during the Black Summer Bushfire.
Speaking on the phone to Radio 2GB from Hawaii in Sydney at the time, he said, “I will not hold the hose pipe, my friend,” as his political opponents used against him.
In addition, in July 2021, Mr. Morrison apologized for the slow pace of vaccinating Australia’s Covid-19.
Meanwhile, a number of prominent women have described Liberal Party MP Scott Morrison as a “bully” or oppressor, including Catherine Kiyosak, a member of the upper house of the New South Wales Senate, and longtime incumbent Senator Festerraventi-Wells. They described him as a tyrant and oppressor, saying he was not fit to be prime minister.
A few days after failing to get a ticket to the New South Wales Liberal Senate, on a budget night, that senator, Mr. Morrison was criticized.
Scott Morrison told ABC in the wake of the criticism, “I understand Connie is disappointed, because members of the Liberal Party have chosen our candidate for the Senate in the next election, and he has failed. They have chosen Senator Payne and Senator Molan.”
Meanwhile, an alleged text message from former New South Wales premier Gladys Berezclian has been leaked, describing Scott Morrison as a “terrible man” who was unfaithful; A senior minister, speaking on condition of anonymity, described him as a fraud and a complete psycho; And Deputy Prime Minister Bernabeu Joyce has called him a “liar.”
Scott Morrison told ABC that such criticism could happen.
“As prime minister, you make decisions that not everyone agrees with. But the then-Prime Minister Berezkillian did not confirm any of these rumors. But it is true that I will make a decision that not everyone agrees with and they will be disappointed,” he said. But you can’t be a good prime minister if you want to be good to everyone.”
During a debate with leaders on Sky News, Scott Morrison called on voters to support the coalition, saying “now is not the time for change.”
