The censure vote in federal parliament sets up a question for Peter Dutton about why he should stand by Scott Morrison. | ANALYSIS | David Crowe auspol ScottMorrison

But it will be flatly rejected by Opposition Leader Peter Dutton and almost everyone in the Coalition because they cannot find a way to rebuke their former leader without condemning his time in power. The problem is that his legacy is their legacy, too.

The result? The censure will be passed anyway, Morrison will be shamed and Dutton will be tangled with the former prime minister in defeat. The message from Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will be that the Coalition refuses to admit the mistake of the secret ministries.

The censure motion presents the same challenge but in a much more personal and powerful way. Abandoning an old policy would be easy compared to abandoning a former leader.because his moves undermined the integrity of government. On the face of it, there should be support in the Coalition for a vote to reprimand him for what he did.

One Liberal, Bridget Archer of the Tasmanian seat of Bass, is still considering which way to vote. But Andrews, who was so critical of Morrison, regards the motion as a stunt. Warren Entsch, a Liberal who goes his own way when he feels the need, will not for vote it.

SCOMO could become a TEAL and end this crazy entertainment

Not one word about the Australian people- Morrison’s Mess is widespread discombobulating

What a waste of freaking time & attention

We owe Morrison nothing as he gave us nothing.

Because Albomoronic is playing politics. Nothing illegal was done.

The spud and the dud.

It's an irrelevancy. A mere distraction by a struggling govt.

The entirety of the Coalition should be utterly ashamed of themselves. For Morrison. For everything they poisoned. For standing for nothing but self interest, greed & unfettered power. At least the Censure will be recorded in political history. Forever.

When Libs celebrate holding the heartland something’s seriously wrongOPINION: How does Peter Dutton fix the structural collapse of the party in Victoria when he is yet to work out how to show his face in the state? Let me see… (1) stop calling women witches (2) believe that climate change is real and do something about it (3) dump all the right wing religious not jobs (4) dump all deals with the National party until they get with the above program (5) resign “The Liberals in Victoria are stuck – completely confused by the electoral equation. They don’t know if their path to success is to swing to the right or the hard right, and seem shocked that voters don’t like them” It's a collapse because the Liberal Party fights inane culture wars and relies on the Murdoch machine to spread its propaganda, still not realising that most of the Australian people can see right through the petty rudeness of talking heads like Peta Credlin.

Morrison should give the country and his colleagues a Christmas present by resigningThe sneaky ministerial appointments – combined with Morrison’s pig-headed response – will define his prime ministership. Why should he? AlboMP must resign he is the blame giver and no solutions experts. He should resign. He should be kicked out and embarrassed. Resigning is giving him too much respect and dignity. But we know he won’t…money for nothing
