The Springbok tour of New Zealand in 1981 tore New Zealand apart. Robert Muldoon’s right wing government who allowed the Springboks in, faced a general election just a few months later at the end of 1981 and had been expected to lose from a long way out. Muldoon snuck back in.
Morrison and his ‘Liberals’ face a general election in 2022. Labour, I believe have had a good lead in the polls for a while. No doubt that Morrsion’s stunt last week in directing Novak not be let in was playing to the gallery and for electoral gain.
Imagine Scott Morrison grimacing as the trophy is handed over? The greatest and most successful tennis player of all time confirming his status in front of a crowd seething cos their own local boy (full to the brim with vaccine) can’t even compete cos he has the virus.
Some consular assistance and intervention needed from the Irish government to get all Irish citizens out of that cesspit and home. Prayers for @Fitzy, @Chucks_Nwoko, @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy and any other forum members trapped and imprisoned there.
