Agreed Bakka; the personality does resonate with the electorate and 8 of the top 10 least trusted politicians in Australia are LNP members with Morrison, Dutton & Barnaby Joyce in the top 3 positions. The 2 non-LNP politicians are Hanson and Kelly. It’s not surprising Morrison wants us to ignore it. However, it’s what they have done to be mistrusted that is important. Perhaps Morrison is therefore partly correct so lets look at his record.  As an ex-Liberal supporter, I believe the the current government is the worst since 1960 based on performance:

• the LNP’s pathetic performance with climate change
• the response to the fires, COVID in aged care and the supply of vaccines
• its inability/refusal to introduce a proper ICAC (why? – obviously doesn’t want all its rorts & corruption exposed)
• it slashed $14M from the budget of the Australian National Audit Office
• Morrison’s listed 52 lies and falsehoods
• the massive handouts to LNP donors
• the political donation disclosure joke (over $14,000 and 18 months later)
• the refusal to release info under FOI statutes
• the LNP’s revolving door personnel policy with industry especially with the fossil fuels and armaments industries
• the increasing emissions problems despite Morrison’s attempted cherry picking of the truth
• the current government & the Howard government are the 2 highest taxing governments in our history despite the LNP’s continual claim that the ALP is the highest taxing party when in government
• the 3 major rorts for the last election
• its refusal to independently investigate serious complaints against party members who would be forced to resign in any previous government, Liberal or Labor.
• its science-denying so called renewable energy policy
• the cutting back of funding in real terms for public schools whilst greatly increasing funding for private schools
• its refusal to implement the independent Gonsky report
• it has increased social and economic inequality which the World Bank states is bad for the economy 
• its refusal to investigate Porter’s “donation” after he pulled out of his stunt motivated anti ABC attack
• Grassgate (illegal clearing) & Watergate ($80M) rorts for Angus Taylor
• the billions given to companies & private schools which had made profits during the pandemic (the only government in the world which gave money to profitable companies & schools)
• making the public pay $500,000 to Rachelle Miller for Trudge’s sexual dalliance 
• etc, etc.

Many in the legal profession have claimed this is the most corrupt government in our history.
