The Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, says there will be a change in leadership style if he is re-elected, blaming the challenges of his time in government for what he described as a “bulldozer” approach. ShubaSKrishnan Read the latest: ausvotes auspol

The prime minister said he recognises he needs to"change the way" he approaches leading the country, and the challenges of his time in government had required him to be a"bit of a bulldozer."

"Over the last three years and particularly the last two what Australians have needed from me going through this pandemic has been strength and resilience. "I know there are things that are going to have to change with the way I do things. because we are moving into a different time," he said. Asked about balancing how Australians with Chinese heritage have perceived his government's tough talk on China, he sought to make a clear distinction between this approach and them offering praise for members of the local Chinese community.

China's ambassador to Australia Xiao Qian on Friday told Sky News Beijing would work with "whatever political party" is in power calling it a "domestic affair" of Australia. “If anyone suggests that Chinese-Australians are not Australians and still have the loyalty and want to do things that is bad for Australia I think that is offensive ... divisive and un-Australian,” she said.

Mr Morrison on Friday added to this criticism by taking aim at Labor's deputy leader Richard Marles, after The Australian reported the leader had held 10 meetings with the Chinese embassy or officials in the past five years. As part of Labor's plan, Indigenous ranger organisations will be allocated $100 million by the end of the decade for reef protection and restoration programs.

“You can throw all the money at the reef that you like but if you keep opening up new coal and gas projects Liberal and Labor the reef will die,” he told reporters.Mr Morrison visited Cairns in January to commit $1 billion over the next nine years to help manage the reef after the Commonwealth successfully lobbied UNESCO to delay a decision listing the site as "in danger".

"He could have done it at any time. Now a week out from an election he's come up with this brilliant new idea and everyone has to fall in line immediately. It looks a bit like a policy that's been dreamt up for a political campaign.

ShubaSKrishnan Well we needed a bull dozer in the fires, the floods and urgently during Co vid but it wasn’t a race..how many promises from the last election has he failed to bull doze into place… me thinks he still plays with his toy bull dozer

ShubaSKrishnan A promise that he will change is Scott Morrison leveraging the cycle of coercivecontrol as a leadership model that began by gaslighting TurnbullMalcolm after a public vow of loyalty A promise of change is known as the honeymoon stage of the cycle:

ShubaSKrishnan “I will be a good boy next time” 😜

ShubaSKrishnan No this is a bulldozer approach. Bulldozers are driven by unionists! LOL

ShubaSKrishnan sounds like a typical abusive spouse to me. 😐

ShubaSKrishnan 🎼Too late shut the gate 🎼

ShubaSKrishnan Scotty from Announcements!! Hahahaha

ShubaSKrishnan A Narcissistic person always blames someone else and never changes

ShubaSKrishnan Stop at .. change in leadership

ShubaSKrishnan Too late SCOMO. People are fat up with Dutton, Barnaby Joyce and your comments and ideas.

ShubaSKrishnan Blames everything else but himself. Typical. Let’s also note that many of those “challenges” occurred well after having been elected

ShubaSKrishnan “I can be a bit of a bulldozer” ScottMorrisonMP 🤦‍♀️ It’s true what GladysB Barnaby_Joyce and others say ScottyTheCompletePsycho ScottyTheBulldozer

ShubaSKrishnan Yes yes… it’s Scott’s fault Scott’s and awful leader 👍

It’s a matter of trust. In the battered wife syndrome, the antagonist promises they’ll change , just give them another chance. Thise of us who’ve experienced DV know how the story ends. Words are cheap.

ShubaSKrishnan 'You are who you've been for the last 20 or 30 years' - Scott Morrison 😏

ShubaSKrishnan Rrrrrriiiiggghhhttt.

ShubaSKrishnan 🤷🏻‍♂️

ShubaSKrishnan Absolutely I welcome scomo represent Chinese here but not their government business. That’s called Chinese bro Scomo

ShubaSKrishnan So no change now. But trust him, he'll change after.

ShubaSKrishnan Except he was exactly the same even before the pandemic began. So… nah.

ShubaSKrishnan Trust me and I will lead you to the promised land. Nicely.

ShubaSKrishnan Stage 3 of grief: bargaining.

ShubaSKrishnan

So the debate is whether 38c/hour will ruin the economy. God help us…
