Perhaps he's not out of touch:  maybe he just doesn't give a damn.  
As pm, it seems he's mostly about theatrics like selfies, yoga poses, attending every gay parades (which I support btw), new carbon taxes (revenue streams for the coffers maybe?).  But what is he doing about our dirty lakes and rivers, and why is he not banning the three most harmful pesticides that are killing bees as the EU has (and has seen success from doing this), and why is he not showing up for work and when he does show up, very few bills are passed, and he won't answer direct questions?  
His theatrics are about showing us shiny things (like this new study on gender-based violence), but neglecting to address very important issues about our environment.  He's also a spendthrift with taxpayer money and sometimes for his own pleasure.
At least now, I don't see our pm as a man of moral substance.
