During an interview
with the ABC 7.30 program on 11
September 2018 Prime Minister & Liberal MP for Cook Scott Morrison declared he is “troubled” by the politics of envy in
Australia and has “a very strong view” on what fairness means.
His version
of “fairness” is a redefinition far removed from the contents of any dictionary
wherein it is usually taken to mean impartial and just treatment or behaviour
without favouritism or discrimination.
His expresses
his version of fairness as “those that have a go get a go” or “a fair go for
those that have a go”– phrases that are inherently judgemental.
It seems that in Morrison's world only individuals who are already capable of helping themselves in some fashion will deserve
assistance from others.
Morrison
again refused to say why the parliamentary Liberal Party changed leaders and in the interview sought to divorce himself from both the spill process and outcome, as though he
wasn’t a participant in those rolling leadership ballots.
But what
caught the attention of a numbers of viewers was his response to two questions.
The first response contained Morrison's assertion that he had separated climate/ environment and energy policies and admissions that he was removing climate change targets from future energy policy and was giving no guarantee of future funding for greenhouse gas emissions reduction.

The second involved his belief that there was a need for additional legal protections of religious freedoms when none were being threatened.......The moment @ScottMorrisonMP condemned my great grandchildren to death. @abc730 #auspoll #climatechange pic.twitter.com/eKlhfEY7jc— Fr Rod Bower (@FrBower) September 11, 2018
For Scott Morrison the primary fear of a majority of the Australian population is less important that demonstrating his missionary zeal to institutional Christianity and his unwavering support to the fossil fuel industry.Sales: "Can you give me an example at the moment where people's religious freedoms are being impinged?"— Greg Jericho (@GrogsGamut) September 11, 2018
Morrison: "That's not the point. Australians want to be sure that in the future those things won't be"
oh dear #abc730
