He has little faith within himself & even less belief in others

We need reasonable faith in & from our leaders and country

Scott Morrison believes Australians “have put too much faith” in “imperfect” politics and institutions, leading to “disillusion” in society, in a wide-ranging valedictory speech on his retirement from federal parliament.

The former prime minister stood by his government’s legacy on the Covid response, the striking of the Aukus pact and opposition to rising global authoritarianism in China, Russia and Iran, in his final address in politics.

Often referencing his faith and his family, who joined him in the House of Representatives, Morrison claimed he would leave the parliament without ill feelings.
