PM employs risky strategy to win the votes of disaffected Australians
Promising to remove government from their lives will appeal to some voters, but Morrison must be careful not to alienate those in the middle.

Niki Savva: It is bizarre for the Prime Minister to disagree with mandating vaccinations, then try to reap the reward from its benefits, then insist journalists covering his events must carry proof of vaccination to access venues with restrictions. smh.com.au/politics/feder…
