Morrison deserved to lose given his authoritarian COVID policies
Australians would, and in fact do, say that his pandemic management was among one of the better aspects of his term. If this was a referendum on covid ScoMo would have won, because Australians crave death less intensely than Americans. But it was a referendum on not only covid but many other things and perhaps more than anything the direction of the country, The Liberal Party failed to advocate or lead with a cohesive and inspiring vision for the future and so they very understandably lost.
