" From a political perspective I think Morrison is playing a pretty smart game on this one."

Others seem to think so as well.

Michael Pascoe: ‘Stunt’ Morrison’s Novax serve aces his RATs disaster, for now

" You don’t have to be cynical to suspect the Prime Minister jumping on the “Novax Djokovid” bandwagon is more about creating a distraction than upholding border security. ...

... Scott Morrison has achieved a Donald Trump aim: If you don’t test, you don’t get cases.

But, hey, look over there – Novax Djokovid!

It worked, at least for one or two news cycles. The tennis player stunt did all the trending on Twitter. RATs disappeared for a while.

The tennis thing will fade. The testing debacle won’t.

And that’s why there will be plenty more stunts.
