Scott Morrison is keen to avoid any suggestion that swings against a state Coalition government the weekend by-elections reflect badly on his government’s chances.
Byelections require a government to salvage any positive news and an Opposition to claim voters have sent the government a damning message.combustible combination of an imminent federal election
Scott Morrison must certainly think this week in parliament can’t be worse than the debacle of losing control of his own party MPs and any semblance of unity last week. But the way things are going, there’s no guarantee of that either. Most of his colleagues are spooked by an Morrison was also less talkative about the inexcusable failure of the NSW Liberal Party – his political home – to finalise the preselection of candidates in several other crucial federal seats the Coalition must win to counter expected losses elsewhere.
The relationship between the Federal coalition and her successor, Perrottet, doesn’t seem any warmer even if this Premier will presumably be more guarded in any text messages. According to Perrottet, he takes responsibility for the byelection results, conceding there are many lessons to be learned from them.
The NSW Treasurer, Matt Kean, promptly declared there was no question the federal government’s past few weeks had not helped the state government’s byelection results. He also tactfully predicted Constance would become the future federal leader of the Liberal Party. Imagine how thrilled Morrison will be with that endorsement.
