Final Speech by Scott Morrison Calls People Back to God
The many failings of Scott Morrison should not diminish his final message to the Australian people. A speech that champions the continual influence and voice of Judeo-Christian values.
Former Prime Minister Scott Morrison will use his final speech in parliament today to defend Christian values.
It’s just a pity that the message will likely be lost for people trying to shoot down the messenger.
Morrison was Australia’s first out-and-out evangelical PM. He came to office thanks to a miracle election result, and Christians rejoiced.
Hallelujah!
We finally have a Christian who would stand against the woke Marxism threatening to ruin our great nation.
When Morrison ascended to the Lodge, Christians were full of hope. Atheists were full of dread.
A Pentecostal minister’s conference on the Gold Coast gave the newly elected PM a standing ovation, while atheists on the ABC warned that Morrison would turn Australia into a theocracy.
Speaking in tongues would become compulsory, they cried.
Letdown
As it turned out, Morrison was more politician than Pentecostal; more concerned with the economy than with the culture.
In fact, he actually boasted that he was not interested in fighting culture wars.
It got worse. Morrison signed Australia up to the globalists’ Net Zero plan. Apparently, he had never heard an end-times sermon warning of a global government.
Or at least he certainly didn’t seem to have taken on board Genesis 8:28, where God promised Noah,
“While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.”
But it got even worse. When the pandemic hit, Morrison stood by idly as authoritarian state premiers mandated the jab.
Say what you like about the jibby-jab – get it, don’t get it, I don’t care – it should never have been compulsory.
Morrison, hilariously, claimed the clot-shot was never mandatory.
Sure.
Tell that to the millions of Australians threatened with unemployment if they refused to be treated as a pin cushion.
God Himself doesn’t violate the free will of people the way the Australian governments did under Scomo’s watchful eye.
All of which makes Morrison’s farewell speech today seem a bit weird.
Morrison will tell Parliament that our country risks a loss of identity in the face of authoritarian challenges to Western civilisation.
Does he mean authoritarians like Dan Andrews? Or Mark McGowan?
He will tell Parliament that Australia’s most precious values include:
“… the core principle of respect for individual human dignity.”
Er, remind me again how being pumped with an experimental drug in order to be allowed to earn a livelihood was a demonstration of this principle?
Morrison will tell his fellow MPs that:
“We should be careful about diminishing the influence and voice of Judeo-Christian faith in our Western society, as doing so risks our society drifting into a valueless void.”
He’s right, of course. He’s absolutely right. It’s just a pity that he decided, when in office, not to risk his political capital in order to fight the culture wars.
Let’s face it: you don’t win a war if you refuse to fight it.
And absolutely nothing – no speech, no words – can see Australia regain its standing so long as the West-hating Greens enjoy an annual $1.2b dollar propaganda budget known as the ABC.
It wasn’t all bad, though. Prime Minister Morrison did dispatch Bill Shorten to the political scrapheap. And, for that, he probably deserves a special mansion in heaven.
Foundations
I’m not sure Morrison will be remembered as a particularly good PM. Turns out he had flaws. Don’t we all!
But his failings should not diminish the truth of what he will tell the parliament today, nor blunt its warning.
Australia is not the lucky country by accident. Australia is blessed because it was founded on a Judeo-Christian ethic.
He will argue that:
“One does not need to share my faith to appreciate the virtue of human rights (that grew out of Christianity).”
Hear, hear.
Even if you don’t believe Christianity to be true, you should want it to be.
There is no other religion or philosophy capable of creating harmony and prosperity for all like Christianity.
Unfortunately, we are now living off the fumes of our Christian past. It is only a matter of time before the Christian deposit is overdrawn, and what will replace it? Marxism’s harsh religion of diversity, equity and inclusion?
God help us, indeed!
Perhaps Mr Morrison’s most valuable contribution to Australian life is today’s finally salient warning.
So Mr Morrison, thanks for giving it your best shot. Thanks for saving us from Bill Shorten. And thanks for having the courage (and humility) to use your final speech in the Australian Parliament, not to defend your own record, but to call people back to God.
God bless you, Jenny and your daughters in whatever the next season of your life looks like.

The Church is wimpy, and it's destroying the nation. That's the blunt assessment of Rev. Chris Wickland, a UK clergyman who refuses to soften the gospel for perceived cultural acceptance. And he has a point. From the rise of "woke" institutional Christianity to the abdication of prophetic witness, the modern Church has traded its backbone for a desperate attempt to attain a disappearing seat at the table.

We're told that progressive politics equals compassion, inclusion and kindness. But shocking reactions to Ann Widdecombe's murder — celebrating her death and hoping she died in extreme pain — reveal the socialist left's blatant 'hate speech' hypocrisy and disturbing double standards of the highest degree.
Mr Morrison never learned that 1 man standing with God is in the majority so his legacy of compromise will always follow him
Scott Morrison’s term as PM, in my opinion, was a disappointment to most evangelical Christians, but I cannot help but think how much worse it would have been under Bill Shorten.
Thanks for all the good you did PM, much of which will be forgotten in the face of the mistakes.
You were especially in tune with Australia’s position of supporting Israel.
Totally agree with you Sue. His ‘Scotty from marketing’ letting others do his dirty work is what I remember. His earnest comment that those who use the QR code to sign in somewhere and are found to not be injected, someone from the government will come round and ‘help them’ , caused me to finally see that the government is NOT here to help anyone anymore.
In the beginning Scott came in and gave great hope to us. It could have been very different if COVID had not struck but it did and things went pear shaped and the states were given powers that we now see were terribly unwise to hand over.
I believe Scott was a sincere man in his faith and yet know many decisions were unwise. Plus he greens and left and labor were plotting against him and the Brittany Higgins case was used against the Government at a critical time.
Perhaps through all this we are to learn to always place our faith fully in the Lord above and not to look for a political ruler who is perfect (Israel learnt this lesson when Jesus came and didn’t turn out to be whom they expected, as they wanted deliverance from Rome)
In the end Scott Morrison didn’t try to hold on power as PM as so many do. He stepped down. I am sure he knows he will give an account to God for his life later on and God knows his motives.
I agree with Ian (above writer) that Scott Morrison did one main thing right; he stood with Israel and even went to Israel after stepping down, to stand with Tony Abbott and John Anderson to show solidarity with Israel in the time of the Oct 7 war. These three former PMs (one a deputy), put themselves in danger to make a statement that Australia should stand with Israel, as they are the ones whom God has chosen and made a covenant with and given the land of Israel to them. Scott has gone on to advocate the ANZAC legacy be honored too, during a very critical and ‘heated’ time for Australia and he still honors God despite his own failings.
