It was interesting (and honestly, kind of depressing) to read this essay now in January 2020, seven months after the federal election result last year. The essay contained some good snapshots from the campaign trail, but in my opinion was lacking in actual analysis. I also hoped there would be more references to the title—‘The Prosperity Gospel’—but it seemed the religious aspect of Morrison’s campaign was only mentioned a few times here and there.

Just loved how this highlighted the ordinariness of the men running. And the ordinariness of Australian politics.

Just a play by play of the campaign with little actual insight, more suited to a Long Read in the Monthly than a Quarterly Essay. From the title I was hoping for a lot more about how the Prosperity Gospel shapes Morrison's thinking.
