Morrison shows bad faith in his hit job against ICAC
The prime minister knows the NSW ICAC is a popular alternative to his toothless tiger model for a national integrity commission so he is throwing dirt at it with little regard to the facts.

Not a single koala tree should be cut down. smh.com.au/environment/co…

Scott Morrison has twice as many followers on it as he does on Instagram.
Anthony Albanese has zero.
Here’s why LinkedIn is a political advantage for the government this election:
