World News – AU – There’s only so much political capital a leader can blow, and popularity doesn’t last forever

. . Gladys Berejiklian's recent admission of grasping pork and not self-isolating after a COVID test contradicts the person of the school captain who so carefully cultivated them, writes Ashleigh Raper.

. .

From her (eventual) assumption that she has not followed her own health advice, to her surprising admission that her government has pork, it may be a sign that the prime minister is unaffected by a scandal Has got used to the degree of awareness.

Your decision to take a COVID test and then not self-isolate is a misjudgment at best and an obvious double standard at worst.

Voters don’t like a rule for them and a rule for leaders – especially when those voters have lost wages, missed job opportunities or personal celebrations for doing the right thing after their COVID test.

Aside from the Ruby Princess fiasco, the electorate sees Ms. Berejiklian’s handling of the pandemic as extremely successful and may even agree with the Prime Minister’s assessment that NSW has the « gold standard » answer.

And it’s not the only decision that comes back to bite her with another problem plaguing her again.

The Greens and Labor had worked extremely hard to uncover them, only to find in a parliamentary investigation that they had been destroyed and electronically deleted.

When the government was forced to access them digitally, the documents revealed that some of the grants had been sent to the prime minister for approval and that they had to change policies to ensure funding was legitimate.

And most of the grants went to coalition-held seats ahead of the last election.

When faced with questions from the media, the Prime Minister admitted that she could call it a pork barrel.

The risk the Prime Minister faces is to re-undermine the political integrity she carefully nurtured before and after her historic 2019 election victory.

The electorate likes her because she’s a school captain – she works hard and does book things.

She survived the ICAC and the scandal of her relationship with Daryl Maguire by taking advantage of public sympathy.

The prime minister may not find the same warmth in public if a pattern is formed.

There is only so much political capital a leader can blow, and popularity doesn’t last forever.
