The only parallel I can find for this is Stalin. Now, much as I can’t stand Scott Morrison, I honestly doubt if he has the capacity to murder millions of people. But let’s take a look at a historical example. During the Russian Civil War, there was a power vacuum at the top of the Central Committee. This was because Lenin never really recovered after being shot by Fanny Kaplan. That meant the committee members spent an inordinate amount of time chasing the most influential departments to run. Stalin simply absorbed all the others and ended up controlling about 80% of the Russian Civil Service. That’s how he became the most powerful person in the Soviet Union. Barrie Cassidy inferred that Morrison was a megalomaniac. I can only agree. This was never going to be about running departments. It was totally about power and control. Yes, it was about being a dictator. There’s no other reason I can see. This was Stalinism.
