The video doesn't shy away from controversial topics, including Morrison's stance on climate change and environmental policies. Uncover the debates surrounding Australia's commitment to reducing carbon emissions, the government's energy policies, and Morrison's approach to balancing economic growth with environmental sustainability.
As we journey through these two years, we also explore Morrison's diplomatic relations on the international stage. From navigating tensions with China to addressing global issues such as climate change and regional security, witness how Morrison's leadership style influenced Australia's standing in the world.
Finally, gain insights into the domestic political landscape, the reshuffling of the cabinet, and the Prime Minister's response to pressing social issues. This video provides a balanced and thorough analysis of Scott Morrison's last two years in office, allowing viewers to form their own perspectives on one of Australia's most pivotal political figures. Whether you're a political enthusiast or just curious about recent Australian history, this video is a must-watch for anyone seeking a comprehensive overview of Morrison's leadership legacy.

The most criminally negligent stooge to ever enter Australian public life since Federation. His policies, his image and his conduct as a politician should be regarded as a legacy of abject failure unchallenged in expression of contempt.
Where is the nacc investigation up too.
I couldn't of had said it better.
Yeah. Shame on the media that promoted him up.
Just for the stuff in this video?
The absolute Flog In Chief. Turnbull at least tried to bring some kind of meaningful centrism and climate awareness to the Liberals. Abbott was an arse but at least didn’t hesitate to hold a hose in the literal sense. Even Howard for all his evil acts at least gave a sense of conviction of his actions and love of his country. But ScoMo? As a country we should be asking ourselves how the hell a man of ilk ever got anywhere near the top job.
Let's be clear, American never promised not to move NATO east, Gorbachev is on *record* as saying there was no such deal. Also by giving even a minor concession to Putin is to give legitimacy to his imperialist ambitions, so let us say it together now, *_Ukraine is a sovereign country_* .
Also worth noting that nations join NATO voluntarily; if you don't want people joining, treat your sphere of influence better maybe?
The narrative that countries can only join an alliance based not on their own free will but their proximity to Russia is ridiculous anyway. All it does is show how unlikeable Russia is as a neighbouring country. Russia should be more concerned with repairing their relationships with its neighbouring countries, rather than force-blocking them from an opposing alliance. Russia is just being a bully, plain and simple.
Man taking a shot at Ukraine for 'provoking' the Russian invasion is a pretty low blow from left field that wasn't necessary and just reduces the credibility of the rest of the overall video for no reason.
He never did, he blames the gradual encroachment of NATO
Yeah, the was never a formal signed agreement about NATO er 'expanding' East. Also, expanding is a misnomer. Countries asked to join, central and Eastern European countries that didn't want to become controlled by Russia again. The process of joining NATO isn't exactly easy or quick. It is also a misrepresentation of what NATO actually is.
Yep, the NATO expansion story is the Russian equivalent of the German WWI stab-in-the-back myth. It also conveniently glosses over the Budapest memorandum where Russia actually signed a piece of paper respecting Ukraine's borders. To parrot Russian propaganda is not a vanilla view of the conflict.
@@larsalvik93 🤡🤡🤡
It was more of a verbal "yeah alright"
As a volunteer firefighter, I had my in-laws tell me that they thought Morrison was hard done by, and had done a great job.
At that moment, I understood the power of our (disgusting) media compliance and the stupidity of some people in this country.
Never underestimate the power of Propaganda.
Were your in-laws weirdo born again god botherers by any chance?
You have to understand that the liberal party and their media mates are a for-profit corporation that trades in stupidity as a commodity. Don’t blame your in-laws for buying in to the buffet of stupidity that’s everywhere these days, the same way you don’t blame people for buying junk food or cigarettes once in a while
They were saying THAT to a volunteer firefighter!
Not in Cobargo
Great content mr H. However i would say that supporting the idea that NATO 'provoked' Putin indicates a short historical memory, as Russia has done very distasteful things to all of its neighbour states for hundreds of years, up to the present day, which countries like Finland, Poland, Georgia and Ukraine have experienced and take very seriously.
It’s pretty embarrassing we actually elected this guy lol
But I go for the Sharks so I'm torn
@@Mr_M_History but you can control yourself when you're at maccas right? .... right?
@@Mr_M_History Same, beats being a Paramatta Fan tho
"Being Prime Minister is an open book exam."
Never heard that storm in a teacup put in perspective so concisely before. That's a good line.
For me scott morrison is the worst prime minister of our generation.
Since federation. I thought A bot was the pits, but then came Scummo.
A very diplomatic walk around Higgins and Lehreeman. I think an issue you really didn't go into but affected the Morrison Government was the excessive use by politicians of liable laws during this time. All accountability had gone out the window and people were being prosecuted for having a public opinion. Add to that the complete lack of accountability including the proper follow up by the media, The inappropriate conduct by ministers and staff be it Joyce's Office Baby, Porters dalliance with his Press Sectary whilst being married and resulting in a 6 figure compensation payout paid by the taxpayer, even his interview where he was so insincere as to use a picture of his kids on the lectern to ensure he would cry on demand. Linda Reynolds deliberate coverup by knowingly getting the couch steam cleaned the next day and her attitude towards her staff let alone the her hiding behind parliamentary laws whilst hurling abuse yet the moment it was returned from the outside bringing taxpayer funded legal action. People might be coming around to the realization that there was something rotten going on.
I know a fellow who is a big fan of Morrison and his church. When the election didn't go their way that night he said to me it was beyond his control no one could have remained with the natural disasters that were happening. In a once in a life time opportunity I replied Well that's the thing, Morrison has been so dodgy with Robodebt and his conduct in office Even God decided to do something to get it sorted. The look on his face was priceless...
Regarding the so called "Promise not to expand Nato" - Which treaty was signed? Where did the US and NATO promise to not expand east? Was Poland a signatory to it? Was Latvia? Why should these nations not be allowed to seek security through, I don't know, a treaty org or a mutual defense pact? Can you please cite it?
There was the Budapest Memorandum - the signatories to which were meant to guarantee Ukrainian sovereignty, but it doesn't mention NATO's potential expansion. Hmm so strange!
Mate, love your coverage; however it feels *a bit* disingenuous to say you have a "vanilla" opinion on the Ukraine war & then proceed to state 'Putin bad but the US kinda made him do it sooo 🤷'.
Trust me, not a US stan by any means - they're obviously a bad colonial power with some pretty, *ahem* cooked foreign (& domestic) policy. However, the insinuation that Russia is not every bit the same level of tyranny as the US (arguably, worse in many respects) & the main reason they tried to genocide Ukraine was because 'US did kinda push them into it' is so far far-left it's wild. The only people I have seen espousing that rhetoric are 'tankies' who are so obsessed with the evils of the US they can't accept that it's possibly for other countries to be equally as awful. Maybe read some less Chomsky & do a deep-dive into how the majority of ex-Soviet states view their oppressor!
I mean, just look at the polling for support of military aid to Ukraine in these ex-bloc countries...y'know, the same countries who 'made the US break the "not one inch to the east" pact' by petitioning NATO to join (not the other way around). Hmm, almost like they wanted some collective defence from an invasion by a brutal neighbour with a large land army...I wonder who that could be? 🤔
You make great videos, I just feel like it's important you don't feed your (probably) impressionable audience a, well, rather extreme view as being somehow middle of the road. Peace out, thanks for the content & happy holidays!
He really earned the nickname Scummo
Yeah, not only was Canberra losing it's influence and leverage at home , it was also losing it aboard as well. Just as London was once the regional, nay, the global centre of trade and influence, or Rome before them. This is just Australia enmeshing itself in global history.
Australia has been in decline since John Howard's horror spell on the Pakistani wicket in 05
@@Mr_M_History you mean the end of the mining boom.
Xi's politics got more authoritative and Australia had to react to that. China had been interfering in Australian politics way before Scott called them out. CCP know Australia's economic dependence have used it an indirect threat for years. I dont blame him at all for sticking up for Australia
As oppose to USA interfering in Australian politics forever?
"Xi's politics got more authoritative and Australia had to react to that."
--
Why though?
They aren't a threat. We only reacted because the US needs us to.
--------------------
"China had been interfering in Australian politics way before Scott called them out."

Not really. The US interferes far more. We are 'Murica's wee whipping boy. And the US wants to keep us that way.
---------------------
"CCP know Australia's economic dependence have used it an indirect threat for years."

Not really, though. We had a great relationship with China from 2007 till about 2010. Keven wasn't ousted for poor performance. He was ousted by a pro-US faction of the Labor party funded by... shock horror, the US and their business interests. They couldn't stand us having a good relationship with China.
-------------------
"I dont blame him at all for sticking up for Australia"

He didn't, though. He made shit materially worse by selling us out to the US.
The US are NOT our friends. They would soon hang us out to dry as soon as we were either no use to them or we decided to go our own way and not follow them into their stupid wars or their slowly failing hegemony.
Lol, he antagonised China over the origins of Covid to impress Donald Trump. Not much else to it,
Speaking of which, guess which nation capitalized on China’s sanctions on us?
That period of 2019-2022 was just the wildest time in Australian Politics. It was a whirlwind, and not just federally
It’s absolutely ridiculous watching albos “gaff” being called “embarrassing” after watch repeated epic fails of grand proportion by scomo like the media tried so hard to play it up lol
Dude, Albo is a bit of an awkward guy, but his govt is getting stuff done and it's so embarrassing they didn't apply that standard to Morrison
The worst PM we have ever had.
You mean Albo
SlowMo managed to last almost 5 years, which is a long time by Australia's recent standards. Even if his fall was abrupt it still feels he was in power for a long while, enough to exact some serious damage.
This needs more views… keep it up!
Thanks so much!
The gold standard of failing your way up.
Great video! Just wondering how you came to the conclusion that the Chinese government was being much more proactive in relation to climate change than the Libs? Really enjoy your content
Such an interesting prime minister. I still sometimes miss his antics but not his policies.
It was weird when he came back to explain his multiple ministries. Weird throwback
I just couldn't stand that smug, arrogant smile of his. Makes me angry just picturing it in my mind.
@@fatalshore5068 Very true. But classic moments like him comparing ending lockdown to the Croods will always hold a special place in my auspol loving heart.
And finally, Labor, Liberal and Lies the first season has come to a wonderful close with Labor coming back in power 🎉
The US made no promise to not move NATO further east. In fact, the Russia has considered joining NATO. This is a poor oversight for an otherwise excellent channel.
nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/russia-programs/2017-12-12/nato-expansion-what-gorbachev-heard-western-leaders-early
@@Mr_M_History the promise of "not an inch further" is only communicated through diplomatic means, memoranda, speeches, meetings, etc. There was no formal written agreement such as a treaty. It says so in the source you've given
Yes you can technically argue that this was still NATO "provoking Russia" but that requires a definition of provoking that would be so vague and applicable to anyone that Aussies could use it to say "China was provoking us by cosying up with the Solomons, we have to invade them to insure our national security" It's a bullshit argument used to justify wars of aggression.
It's also very important to clarify that warming of relations goes both ways. Ukraine had codified its neutrality in 2010, asserting itself as a non-bloc country. This was completely violated by Russia in 2014, since then Ukraine has been directly seeking NATO membership since, the only major thing that has changed politically since then was that Zelenskyy succeeded Poroshenko in 2019. So no, I do not believe the West's attitude in integrating Ukraine "provoked" Russia to invade.
The only thing you could say from that is that Ukraine's internal political development caused Russia to invade, which yeah okay? That's called a war of aggression.
www.rferl.org/a/ukraine-parliament-abandons-neutrality/26758725.html
I see a lot of people here and in the US regularly downplay Russia's role in this by saying things like "oh both sides are at fault" and "the west has compromised Russia's sovereignty". And it's fair enough, we all want to avoid an actual war, as an Aussie I held this view for all of 22 and much of 23. It's only when I talked to my family in Europe and really understood what game Russia plays.
The simple fact is that Russia's security interests and view on guaranteeing peace does not align with Europe's.
www.chathamhouse.org/2023/06/how-end-russias-war-ukraine/fallacy-4-russian-security-concerns-must-be-respected
During the time that Europe has experienced two major wars, (Yugoslav and Bosnia), as well as several conflicts around Kosovo, Russia has invaded Georgia 4 times, Ukraine twice, Moldova once, and is involved regular guerilla wars in the Northern Caucuses which have been ongoing since fucking 92.
Europeans are acutely aware of Russia and know full well that they should be condemned every step of the way, and that any attempt no matter how small to shift blame away from Russia, will only encourage it to engage in more wars of aggression.
@@Mr_M_History You're implying that countries nearer Russia shouldn't have the freedom to make their own decisions? Russia doesn't own its neighbouring countries, so it doesn't have any grounds to block them from joining NATO. Why do you think everyone near Russia wants to join NATO btw? Because Russia is a historically corrupt place with a tyrannical ruler. Russia did this to themselves and has the gall to call itself the victim.
Higgins and Lehreman is very current but it feels like a throwback to recent stories about Barnaby or earlier Cheryl and Gareth. If you are really old school, Ainsley Gotto and Junie Morosi come to mind.
And Harold Holt was at the beach with a friend who wasn't his wife.
Poor scotty from marketing. Silly guy btw
the production quality has skyrocketed, great video
Thanks so much man!!
As ever, fantastic video, Mr. M History. I comment here to please the algorithmic gods.
Scumo is not afraid of falling, infact the lower he gets the prouder he is.
Good analytical video; forgot how nice it is not to see Morrison on our screens. Hope the Morrison stench doesn't stop people from watching
Before watching this video i need to know if this includes Scotts voice? I'm kind of allergic to his voice, do i need to listen to his voice?
The wait was totally worth it but since the liberal, labor, and lies series is basically over (for now) are there any new video ideas, series, or projects you're thinking about working on?
Big ideas coming soon!!
and what a pissy labor government we got . we should have gotten the Shorten Labor government . Australia would have been so better off had Shorten government been in for all those Morrison years
Another stellar performance. The rise and fall of the Australian Democrats would make for an interesting future video.
From the US: Although the President of course is the highest office, I would count a lot of similarities between the rise of ScoMo and our new Speaker, Mike Johnson.
Interesting comparison!
Johnson is very conservative but more mild mannered, but both were compromise evangelical candidates after the hard right toppled the current leader. Johnson was like Steve Bradbury in being that everyone else fell and he sort of skated in.@@Mr_M_History
@@Mr_M_History that’s a very polite way to say “wtf are you even talking about???” 😂🤣😂
Production quality zooming up!
God it’s good to not see scumo on my tv all the time but at least he had a go so he got a go
17:10 Look at the body language on Jen and his daughter as he pulls the election winner about stopping the boats out of the bag of tricks. Hurrrah. This will keep us in The Lodge
Commenting as always to feed the youtube algorithm
I wonder if Scomos comments to Journalists regarding being careful about what they aired around sexual misconduct played a part is his downfall. Did that get a mention in this vid?
I thought this was an excellent video, until you repeated the Russian lie about an American "promise" that NATO would not expand. Check your facts. Also consider that Poland joined NATO in 1999, and the Baltic States in 2004. Another hole in that story is that Russia was occupying Ukrainian territory after 2014, so Ukraine is not eligible to join NATO.
Where's the NACC?
Better he take the fall for the China stuff, this course correction was a long time coming.
The last thing we want is to play the role of EU when China inevitably pulls a Russia-Ukraine. With this decoupling we might still be able to shield up in time by 2027.
Should it not be "an intoxicated Leherman and Highins"? Were they not drinking at the same bar?
I love how each time Scomo was have a rally kind of thing you could spot people like Gladys and Howard
It's wild that the video tanks its credibility with a slip of the mask over NATO and Russia.
Just when we all thought Tony Abbott was the worst, ScoMo told us to hold his VB
And to hold his hose
Ew, VB…
First time I’ve seen this channel, you ok healthy Harold? Lookin bit rough mate
dope vid love u
Thanks so much Liam!
Heck yes, first like.
A true hero!
I was a lib voter my entire life but scomo was so unpalatable I voted for albo
So you must own a large business or company to ever vote LNP otherwise your voting against your own well being. Eg Medicare was created by Labor. . Most business owners now hate Labors new wage theft laws 😂.
Nato not moving east was never an agreement
Not gonna mention robo debt?
AKA Scott Morrison: Failing Upwards
Still happy to have elected Anthony Albanese in 2022 and am ambitious to Re-elect him in 2025
ME TOO
You should do an episode about scott morrison when he was in charge of tourism. "Australia the place to be"
That would be fun 😆
@@Mr_M_History Scott morrison has alot in common with comic book superhero writers, you can fail upwards and still get promoted
I actually think its a shame that Frydenberg lost his seat. The libs under him would have been much more moderate and much more likely to support the Voice, which would have given it bipartisan support, making it far more likely to pass.
Yeah I think they still would have gone for Dutton though because Frydenberg was too associated with ScoMo
Thats like have a lite or sugar free version of Labor
This country needs real conservative opposition
@@_peepyopeenah, Labor are already liberal lite. We need a real LEFT opposition that isn't the greens.
@@stoopidapples1596 Greens, Labor, Liberal are all leftist parties
Labor are acting like centrists now. It’d be good to have liberal centrists too
Can you do a video on why the Libs far right with Dutton, Abbott and ScoMo winning power, while moderates like Turnbull are an exception to the rule. Is the voting districts divided unfairly?
I think the wets voting base has done an exodus in the last 10 years!
The funny thing is though Bruce is still close with the liberal party. He was at one of their Christmas parties last week in darling point new South Wales
We not being the "Good Guys" in the fight in Afghanistan is a gross oversimplification. While we were there girls could go to school and women could work wherever they wanted..... How about now?
Good. Screw him
As much as some people don't like Albo. I'm glad Scomo isnt in anymore and Believe, Albo is the best leader we've had in over a decade.
😂🤡
Aus, the UK an the US tend to follow each other with types of leader, eg Hawke, Blair, Clinton as Charismatics. More recently a scam merchant/failed businessman in the US, a failed Journo in the UK and Aus had a failed marketer in ScoMo
I was having a great time laughing at Scummo until you had to ruin it by mentioning the traitor at the end of your vid.
Still a good watch until 17:42
Still works for watchtime
No where near as bad as albo
Whatever helps you sleep at night m8
tbh i had positive things to say about scummo when he boosted Job Seeker to something livable, guess when he lost any form of faith in him?
I will watch this, but I cannot wait for your totally impartial view of the fall of Albanese that is playing out in realtime.
Honestly scomo was so hated, albo only got the job due to how much everyone hated morrison.
Bwahahaha you're forgetting about the Tongan volcano, this was the biggest contributor to our big wet not climate change.
France did not withdraw their ambassador, he retreated like they always do.
Hahahaha
Good to see Brittany and her partner look well-fed on the tax payer's dollar...
And Bruce well accommodated on Kerry's.
The agreement was that NATO wouldn't expand past East Germany. It still doesn't so everything is OK 🤣
I think if you are a world leader, becoming unpopular in America is a sign that you are doing a good thing!
Can't wait for the fall of Albo video next year!
You must be a business owner. Because the rest of Australia loves Albo for finally making wage theft a jailable offence.
If the best the Libs can achieve is a 50-50 2PP rating in the polls, Albo’s not going anywhere.
FIRST
An honour to be considered for a first!
In hindsight, not as bad as the Albatross
Pls explain!
Bullshit !

All politics are local. The relationship with China had no bearing on how people voted nor could the average person give a stuff about the Solomon Islands. Just another Pacific Island country begging for handouts as they always do. Morrison was like Churchill, a victim of the end of a crisis. COVID election winner Ardern in New Zealand also ran off when her post-COVID popularity slumped to certain defeat this year. Palaszczuk who easily won an election in Queensland during COVID is heading for defeat in 2024. . They all end up being blamed for the things they did and the things they didn't do as people try to return to normality . They get blamed for things over which they had no control. Churchill made a comeback when the new broom turned out to be dud. The Albanese government in Australia is tracking towards being a one-term wonder. The other problem Morrison had was a vengeful media who blamed him for the embarrassment they suffered when they said Labor would win the 2019 election. The press gallery's most "knowledgeable " commentators were made to look stupid, notably Laura Tingle who predicted a easy win for Labor 48 hours before they lost. All local issues. Or personal.
Absolute Bullshit. All young people who understand the climate crisis were well aware of his disgusting behaviour towards Solomon islands. And 50% of voters are women who knew all about Scumo lies to the French ,abusing china causing wine,iron ore and lobster embargoes . And he told 50% of the voters they are lucky not to be shot. When we protested him covering up RAPE in Parliament house.
