Deconstructing ScoMo: Critical Reflections on Australia's 30th Prime Minister

At the 2019 election many conservatives - the "quiet Australians" - went back to the Liberals, given that Malcolm Turnbull had finally been dispensed with and recalling that Scott Morrison seemed to have stopped the boats and was a regular churchgoer. Further, they were genuinely concerned about Bill Shorten's "drastic climate action". However, these same conservatives have reason to be very aggravated, and are seriously considering voting for alternative parties at the forthcoming federal election. Why is this so?

In this book, the authors highlight the Prime Minister's failure to stand up for conservative values; namely, his abandonment of the principles of smaller government, economic reform, free speech and individual liberty which successfully guided both the founder of the Liberal Party, Sir Robert Menzies, and Australia's second-longest serving prime minister, John Howard. This compendium of articles is a must read as Australians head to the polls in 2022.
