Alan Tudge, Richard Colbeck and Paul Fletcher are the latest Morrison Cabinet ministers to be mired in scandal, but no one is responsible for anything in this Coalition Government, writes managing editor Michelle Pini.

Premier Daniel Andrews is damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t, but Prime Minister Scott Morrison, despite much evidence to the contrary, remains the mainstream media’s golden boy, writes managing editor Michelle Pini.
If you’re trying to “have a go” in order to put food on the table, don’t expect to “get a go” from this Coalition Government, writes executive editor Michelle Pini.
LET THEM EAT CAKE
And according to the PM, who has actively opposed any suggestion of an increase to the Newstart payment,
“They [Newstart recipients] don’t just live on Newstart alone.”
That’s right! Lucky Newstart recipients also get an “energy supplement” of $4.40 a week!
This, of course, would not buy the lucky ducks dinner at Heston Blumenthal‘s Fat Duck pop-up in Melbourne, where the starting cost per person (excluding wine) was $525 back in 2015. Blumenthal, incidentally, has also struggled to pay his workers according to the law. But this extra government “assistance”, in fact, doesn’t even cover the cost of a weekly Happy Meal, which is currently $5.30.
Let them eat cake, eh, Mr Morrison? Well, probably not cake served in any establishment of the abovementioned restaurateurs.
Newstart is below the poverty line. That is all anyone with a heart or a full stomach needs to know.
If you’re just trying to “have a go” in order to put food on the table, however, don’t expect to be getting a go from this Coalition Government.
