Many experts felt it could NOT be done.
He imposed a certain secrecy on the process. Many in the media railed against it. And so they should. We are a democracy based on the Rule Of Law.
But Mr Morrison singlemindedly worked with the armed forces, worked with indonesian officials etc. In time the business model of the people smugglers collapsed.
Mr Morrison is a committed Christian, so seeing humans beings being bought and sold deeply hurt his sense of meaning of life.
It would not have easy either to see regugees rotting on the Islands.
All this done Mr Abbott brought him into the welfare sector of govt.
He immediately was able to understand the issues with regard to pensions , childcare, etc
And then came the Mr Turnbull challenge. When Mr Morrison went with Mr Turnbull, I knew it was time for Mr Abbott to go.
Mr Morrison's budget of 2016 introduced programmes not popular with a section of the LNP base, typified bty the Grumpy Old Millionaires of Higgins.
His unrelenting focus is on Jobs and Growth.
His 2017 budget is greatly anticipated.
He is Treasurer at a very difficult time. Cometh the hour cometh the Man

And I note that PM Turnbull is relaxed and confident enough to be out of the country as the Treasurer puts the final touches on the budget and delivers it.
You cut a swathe of bipartisan commonsense through HC Politics.
