Here is an interesting reads:

"... Lord help us. Think climate change, the coronavirus pandemic, or immigration are problems? Well, look at the calibre of leader we’re asking to steer us through these crises and their addiction to lying, and you’ll have something to really worry about."

"... Just read the short but damning book Lies and Falsehoods: The Morrison Government and the New Culture of Deceit by Aussie journalist Bernard Keane to stop you in your tracks and reconsider your relationship with the truth."

"... Keane has compiled a thoroughly researched list of more than 30 falsehoods uttered by the PM since he took office back in 2018. Interestingly, Morrison lies more when he’s under pressure. And these are not just lies based on conflicting interpretations of the facts, they are plain untruths that are easily disproved.

Morrison lies about conversations he has with members of the public, about what he has said on television, in parliament, and particularly on the election campaign trail. Instances in which multiple witnesses, sometimes audiences, have recollections that are different to the stated ‘truth’.

And although Keane has called him out, there’s been no pushback from the PM. Under libel laws in Australia, to publish material accusing someone of being a ‘liar’ is one of the shortest routes known to defamation proceedings that often end with an eye-watering damages award and humiliation for the defendant who struggled to reach the burden of proof to satisfy a court that the claim of falsehood was proven.

Yet Morrison chooses to ignore the accusations and his day in court, presumably because he knows they’re right, after all.
