It’s that L word again. Do not expect any real leadership from ScottMorrisonMP, there will be spin, spending, action but not leadership. If business can see the need why can’t the politicians?

For comparison

not going to happen The coal barons have a stranglehold on LNP gov

The same business leaders calling for a big Australia with unprecedented urban sprawl?

What is it you idiots think he can do, look at latest NASA emissions map

False flag? Huh wha?
