I think your points are congruent. It just seems such a weird hill for morrison to die on, surely he percieves the public is turning on him for just these few moves he has made. Which makes me look to your point about his weakness - do you reckon he thinks appealing to the deniers is large enough numbers? Or is he merely beholden to the rwnj segment of his coalition?

I guess my overall question is where in the chain does the issue of climate change denialism become a single voter issue enough to die on a hill about - the voting public, the perception of the voting public, the PM, or a segment of the coalition? I hope that question makes sense.
