How Good is Scott Morrison? - a podcast by Sam Rippon and Chern Han Mah

March election madness continues! This week's episode takes a look at the results of this weekend's Western Australia State elections and the astonishing landslide victory for Mark McGowan's Labor Party, as well as a wider look at the current state of Australian politics. It also looks at some prominent inspirational women leaders in the political sphere in the week that saw International Women's Day. It discusses some trailblazing figures, break-out stars, and themes across the world. 

Mark McGowan has led his Labor Party to a record-breaking victory in the state of Western Australia, annihilating Zak Kirkup's Liberal Party and potentially looking at taking full control of both chambers of Parliament. Sam and Chern look at where these results came from, and what they could mean in terms of federal politics and whether Scott Morrison will opt to hold the upcoming federal election this year. Did Mark McGowan only benefit from Covid-19 or were other factors at play? Do the Liberals have the potential to recover within the next few election cycles? Why has the Labor Party nationally not seen a similar boost in support? And the killer question in terms of Australian politics - why does Australia cycle through so many Prime Ministers?
