@GortonGums; Morrison's following Abbott's hymns sheet wherein after he was placed on notice for gross incompetence by his own MPs Abbott declared he would change for the better.
Well Abbott did change, for the worse! By September 2015 he had to be sacked as the Coalition's satisfaction ratings plumbed the depths of the political sewer and headed for electoral annihilation.
Morrison's saturation of the media with his air-brushing of rorts and scandals, exaggeration, misinformation, misrepresentation, bare-faced lies and verbal abuse of Albanese following his third loss in leadership debates is informative - it's embedded in his DNA and as desperation increases he's emulating Abbott.
