Australia Elections: PM Scott Morrison promised voters to be more empathetic if he wins re-election as the government trails the opposition Labor Party. Voters will go to polling booths on May 21.
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison today promised to be more empathetic if he wins re-election, as his government continues to trail the opposition Labor Party a week before a general election.
Australians go to the voting booths on May 21, with recent polls showing PM Morrison's Liberal-National coalition on track to lose to centre-left Labor, ending nine years of conservative government.
PM Scott Morrison, whose standing with voters has plunged since mid-2020, acknowledged on Friday being a "bulldozer" but said he would change after the election.
He continued that theme today, telling reporters on the campaign trail in Melbourne that what mattered most as prime minister was to "get the job done", but promising to "explain my motives and my concerns and empathise a lot more" in the future.
