The fact that just days after the election an article was published boasting that Prime Minister Scott Morrison<\/a> had a mandate to, “do whatever the hell he likes” shows just how little scrutiny of the government there has been. Morrison grabbed the microphone on day one & never handed it back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Annabel Crabb<\/a> wrote, “Having campaigned as a one-man show, Scott Morrison \u2014 the author of a “miracle victory” \u2014 now finds himself with that rarest and most inscrutable of political assets: the one mandate. Think “Aladdin’s Cave” for politicians. Mr Morrison genuinely can now do whatever the hell he likes.” With a ‘miracle’ election result, Scott Morrison has the mandate to do whatever he likes \u2014 so what will it be?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing epitomises this tight grip of Morrison’s than his Pac-Man impersonation on May 5 on the Central Coast of New South Wales. With the ABC News<\/a> channel uncritically broadcasting the pantomime to the nation, Morrison danced across the screen demonstrating what a Labor government would do in gobbling up people’s money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
