PVO’s real problem with Scott Morrison? He won the 2019 election

Political commentator Peter van Onselen’s just-released book about the Prime Minister is, like eternal damnation, well worth avoiding if the chapter on Scott Morrison’s religion is any indication.

An excerpt, published in the Weekend Australian, was such a caricature of Christianity that it’s a wonder PVO bothered to use words when a garish cartoon would just as easily have sufficed.

Early in the piece — by which I mean hit job — van Onselen tells how Morrison was wary about “the cartoonish characterisation of his faith”, after which van Onselen proceeds to give a cartoonish characterisation of Morrison’s faith. 

PVO begins by informing us that the PM’s instinct is to separate church and state in his life.
