ScoMo is building a chicken coop (illegally) at his Sydney PM home. But it’s the invincibility that’s important here. Populism makes a politician politically invincible. Every check and balance - institutions (the law, parliament, the press, expertise etc.) - is smashed. Called ‘fake’. ScoMo talks about the ‘Canberra bubble’, he knows exactly what he’s doing. He closed parliament completely when this pandemic started. He wants to be our own Trump.
