Summary

How Good is Scott Morrison? charts our 30th prime minister's unlikely rise to the liberal leadership, his surprise electoral win, his disastrous management of the bushfire (and his unforgettable response: 'I don't hold the hose, mate.') And then the redemption that was his handling of the pandemic. Scott Morrison now looks unassailable and likely to win the next election, but what do we know about him as a leader and as a politician? He appears to be a pragmatist rather than an ideologue; he is a deeply Pentecostal religious man but doesn't wear his faith as a badge of honour, so what does he really believe in? Peter van Onselen and Wayne Errington delve into Morrison's prime ministership and ask whether history will judge him merely as an election winner, or as having had the courage and vision to change Australia for the better
