Question everything

Your editorial, “Taking the money”, September 4-10, suggests voters “should think about who it is Scott Morrison represents”. I couldn’t agree more, but I have no hope that the people who voted for Morrison will question who it is he represents. Morrison is adept at appealing to people on the grounds he is one of them – the daggy dad, the rugby league supporter, an everyman. He is anything but. His ability to sell himself, and very little else, was proved at the last election and this could well happen at the next. Until we have a voting population that questions what they are being told, by all sides of politics and by all media, we will continue to see the same results.
