NSW Treasurer Matt Kean added his name to those openly criticising former PM Scott Morrison.abc.net.au/news/matt-kean-judge-scott-morrison-election-voice-qa-grace-tame/101725282New South Wales Treasurer Matt Kean says he "disagrees" with the actions of former prime minister Scott Morrison and called for Australians to judge the Member for Cook at the ballot box.
"I strongly disagree with [Mr Morrison] on what he did, with regard to assuming powers without telling the electors," Mr Kean said."For people to have confidence in our system of government, our politicians and our political class need to be transparent with what we're doing and that's not what happened with Scott Morrison."The public decided to throw out the previous government, and I would say that the best way to judge Scott Morrison is at the ballot box.
"I think the only reassurance that anyone can take is that there are political consequences, and his party is now a rump of its former self," Szeps said.Olympian 'scared' of Voice referendum However, on the issue of the Voice being a referendum, Ms Peris said it brought up fears based on the history of referendums in Australia and, indeed, the history of the nation, that it might not succeed."We've had eight successful [referenda] in 47, or however many, referendums."But, for us, we want to be recognised — a lot of mob are calling out for treaties, the Yolngu mob have asserted their sovereignty.
