Altaf Hussain vs Scott Morrison

Altaf Hussain founded the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (originally Mohajir Qaumi Movement) in 1984 to represent the political rights of Urdu-speaking Muhajir communities in Karachi. The party became a dominant force in urban Sindh.

Altaf Hussain went into self-exile in London in 1992 after a military operation against the MQM in Karachi. He has since led the party from exile, using telephone addresses to communicate with followers.

Altaf Hussain was convicted in absentia by a Pakistani anti-terrorism court on October 15, 2020, for treason and inciting violence. The court sentenced him to 21 years in prison for his speeches allegedly promoting hatred against state institutions.

Morrison's government implemented border closures, lockdowns, and economic stimulus measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Australia had relatively low case numbers initially, but the response faced criticism for vaccine rollout delays and aged care failures.

During the 2019-2020 Australian bushfire season, Morrison faced criticism for taking a family holiday to Hawaii while fires raged. His government later established a royal commission into natural disaster management and announced funding for recovery.

Morrison's government signed the AUKUS trilateral security pact with the United States and the United Kingdom. The deal included Australia acquiring nuclear-powered submarines, leading to the cancellation of a French submarine contract and diplomatic tensions.

Morrison led the Liberal-National Coalition to defeat in the 2022 federal election, losing to Anthony Albanese's Labor Party. The loss ended his tenure as Prime Minister and led to his resignation as Liberal Party leader.
