Morrison’s triumphant personal standing in the polls is owed to his strong leadership during the pandemic and, as my colleague Peter Hartcher argued in his column last week, that leadership has been from the centre. Morrison the coal-fondler is sidling towards a de facto position of net zero emissions by 2050. Morrison the welfare-buster will probably announce an increase of the JobSeeker rate from its pitiful $40 a day. Morrison the right-winger told the National Press Club this week he would not engage in reform “for the sake of vanity”.
All this centrism - integral to the Coalition winning the next election - means Morrison needs to keep Kelly and his pals inside their box. Public, televised fights with well-respected opposition frontbenchers are not part of that plan.
Professor Lidia Morawska, director of the International Laboratory for Air Quality and Health at the Queensland University of Technology wants quarantine to be led from Canberra and has called for a review of every hotel providing quarantine in Australia.
âSo, here we are again. The most important aspect is acknowledgement at the top level in Australia that airborne transmission is a main route of transmission in general. This is the golden rule: hazard, not recognised [will] never be controlled and they are stubbornly refusing to recognise this hazard,â Professor Morawska said.

Investor
John Wylie, who finished up after eight years at the Australian Sports Commission last year, is mentioned as a potential successor. So it was fascinating to see Wylieâs investment business Tanarra touted as potential buyer of Tabcorpâs $3 billion wagering business because owning a stake in a gaming company is incompatible with presiding over a football club. The optics, for one.

Morrison government all smirk and mirrors : Albanese04/02/2021|10min
Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese has accused the Morrison government of being all smirk and mirrors on economic management, claiming the Coalition is only offering cuts to working Australians. We have raised issues which will impact every Australian worker; the cuts to JobKeeper, the cuts to JobSeeker, the cuts to wages, the cuts to superannuation, he said.
