...Scomo Went To Hawaii
It's been well over a year and a part of me finds it still way too hard to forgive Scomo's abandonment of his country to go on a family holiday during the worst fire season in recorded history. The country was ablaze, he was on vacation - because it had been arranged with his family months ago, allegedly - and whole communities had been burnt to the ground.
It was a bit like FDR going on a vacation to the Bahamas the week after WWII landed on his desk. Except, FDR did no such thing, and here was our Prime Minister sipping Pina Coladas by the sea in Hawaii. I mean, come on. How do you spin that, you PR hack Scomo?
After which he kind of hid behind his kids and took his lumps in the press and looked like yesterday's burnt toast util of course another disaster came along in the form of the COVID-19 pandemic. Then, he was quick off the mark to do things. You sort of wonder if he would have been as quick had he not had to eat so much humble pie over the bushfire response and his holiday to Hawaii.
His Prime Ministerial performance has picked up somewhat since then, probably because he finally connected in his head that what he does in his office matters to everybody in the country. All I can say is let us hope he gets voted out as soon as possible.
