What has COVID-19 revealed about Australia, and about Scott Morrison and his government? In this gripping essay, Katharine Murphy goes behind the scenes to tell the story of the response to the crisis. Drawing on interviews with Morrison, Brendan Murphy, Josh Frydenberg, Sally McManus, and other players, she traces how the key health and economic decisions were taken.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHer account is twinned with a portrait of the prime minister. She explores his blend of pragmatism and faith, and shows how a leader characterised by secrecy and fierce certainty learned to compromise and reach out—with notable exceptions. Now, as the nation turns inwards and unemployment rises, our faith in government is about to be tested anew. What does 'We're all in this together' truly mean? Will Morrison snap back to Liberal hard-man, or will he redefine centre-right politics in this country?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMorrison's a partisan, blue team to the core, but his political philosophy is hard to pin down, because it is predominantly trouble-shooting. By instinct, Morrison is a power player and a populist, not a philosopher; a repairer of walls, not a writer of manifestos... his conservatism is extreme pragmatism in defence of what he regards as the core of the nation.\u003c\/em\u003e Katharine Murphy, \u003cem\u003eThe End of Certainty\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46850030633196,"sku":"9781760642761","price":35.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/23814553482814.jpg?v=1759076696"},{"product_id":"on-disruption-by-katharine-murphy-9780733644528","title":"On Disruption","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe internet has shaken the foundations of life: public and private lives are wrought by the 24-hour, seven-day-a-week news cycle that means no one is ever off duty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOn Disruption\u003c\/em\u003e is a report from the coalface of that change: what has happened, will it keep happening, and is there any way out of the chaos?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47461218058476,"sku":"9780733644528","price":19.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780733644528-on-disruption.jpg?v=1774962441"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/katharine-murphy.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
