In the same week that the prime minister told chief executives not to get “distracted” by issues like climate change, his National Party colleagues declared war on almond milk. Talk about focusing on the big issues. Needless to say, most business leaders paid as much attention to Scott Morrison as the public paid to the Nationals.

| The prime minister, Scott Morrison, picked quite the fight when he harangued chief executives over them speaking out on issues such as climate change. |
The six-year-old Coalition government is overseeing an economy that’s slowing, an unemployment rate that’s rising, and a “Pacific step-up” that’s turned into a total stuff-up. You can see why the prime minister decided to attack business leaders for failing to do their job. It’s a lot easier than explaining to voters why he is failing at his.
Distractions and virtue signalling are core business for Morrison, which is why his government launched an extraordinary attack on the freedom of chief executives to speak out on important issues like climate change. It’s quite the fight to pick.
Read the story from The Guardian by Richard Denniss - “When Scott Morrison lectured CEOs about speaking out on climate change, it was quite a fight to pick.”
