Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Labor’s leadership team - minus Anthony Albanese who’s in COVID isolation - have fronted campaign rallies full of true believers.
While Labor’s refashioned campaign rolled on without its leader, Scott Morrison went fishing for votes without subjecting himself to scrutiny on Saturday.on Thursday, Morrison hasn’t taken the opportunity to rest.
Asked there why he wasn’t doing a press conference, Morrison said: “I look forward to seeing you at [the campaign rally].” Morrison focused on border protection and the economy, as he accused Albanese of not having the experience to manage either and criticised him for not supporting temporary protection visas for refugees.“There were three components, Anthony if you’re paying attention, three components to stopping the boats. One, don’t get rid of temporary protection visas. Two, make sure you have offshore processing that works. And three, you turn back the boats and you know how to do it,” he said.
In a function room next to the pokies, adorned with faux-Grecian columns and a carpet resembling an LSD fever dream, the man who may be treasurer in four weeks told his supporters: “We’ve a distance yet to travel.“This is not easy. Having a leader who is forced into seven days at home makes it a little bit harder. Let’s be honest about that. That is not usually what happens in a federal elections campaign.
