The Murdoch press is banging on again about the “worst government ever”. No surprise there — but we don’t need to dig too far back to find a real contender. The Morrison government takes that crown by a country mile. Here's why:
Secrecy and Scandal
Morrison quietly swore himself into five extra ministries without telling the public or even his own cabinet.
Add in the sports and car park rorts, where public money was splashed around marginal seats like Monopoly cash.
And let’s not forget Robodebt: an illegal, automated cruelty that drove some to despair and led to a royal commission.
Climate Denial and Delay
He literally brought a lump of coal into parliament.
While fires and floods worsened, his government blocked real action on renewables and dragged its feet internationally.
At global climate talks? Sometimes he didn’t even bother showing up.
COVID Bungling
“It’s not a race,” he said — as the vaccine rollout stalled and the country locked down longer than it needed to.
And when things went wrong, he pointed fingers at the states instead of taking responsibility.
Corruption and Control
Promised a federal ICAC — never delivered.
Presided over raids on journalists and a creeping culture of secrecy.
Public broadcasters and key institutions were politicised and muzzled.
Wedge Politics and Division
Ran culture wars on everything from gender to Australia Day.
Kept the far-right sweet while banging on about “quiet Australians”.
Call that leadership? That wasn’t a government, it was a slow-motion train wreck in a smirk.

I don't think I've ever seen a more blatant upward wealth transfer scheme than today's budget. They are literally taking money out of people's kiwisavers to fund profit making businesses.
