The Morrison Government
Leading thinkers on the policies and leadership of the Morrison Government from 2019 to 2022 Australia has rarely endured as many difficulties as it did during the COVID-19 pandemic-dominated Morrison Government’s term of office, from its surprise 2019 election win to the 2022 poll.
