Our Prime Ministers Leader Board

The importance of the federal government responsibilities in quarantining and vaccination roll out has been discussed everywhere.

The Morrison Government failings are clear. It's too early to tell exactly what Morrison's legacy will be - but with his climate change failures, ignoring bush fire warnings, handling of quarantine, sourcing and rolling out vaccinations, he might well win the wooden spoon.

Tony Abbot and William McMahon are currently in last position

In a time of national crisis, a Prime Minister needs to step up and lead more than ever. Morrison is astonishingly bad at this. His petty blame shifting and policy reactivity inspires little confidence.

In contrast, the top rated Prime Minister was John Curtin, (pictured above), who led Australia during the Second World War and then designed the post-war reconstruction. Bob Hawke rates second. Of the recent Prime Ministers, Julia Gillard ranks best (middle ranked) due to her lasting  policy legacies. 

Certainly, when we consider some of the capable leaders we've had, it is so disappointing we currently have such a an effectual incumbent.
