Morrison lacks the vision to address looming catastrophe

THE Morrison government again demonstrates negligence and an inability to determine priorities in the interests of the Australian people.
His announcement on February 25 that his government will provide $2 billion for the Climate Solutions Fund over the next 10 years is a joke.
He is funding military hardware to the tune of $200 billion.
What we will end up with is a well defended by sea and air nation of unliveable floodplains and bushfire-ravaged countryside while the wealthy lounge in their water-view, cement-cliff apartments and the rest of us wear sediment-filtering smoke masks as risen seas lap our toes.
Exaggeration?
The economic fixated brain of PM Morrison is totally unsuited for the big-ticket issues of this planet.
He can intimidate and verbally assault the Labor Opposition and the Greens all he wants, they are on the right wallaby track.
Morrison claims, nay begs, that he loves this country but this is not demonstrated in any of his portfolios in immigration, energy, ecology, health, education, or labour.
Morrison is a hollow man making us the Venezuela of the South Pacific.
