Excuse me crashs? headline should use the word tackle with that picture cause that is what it is guys. He tackled him. Crash allows for it to be an accident tackle means intent. Is the abc looking at that pic and not seeing intent?

I’m sure his mates in the media will make light-hearted fun of this. If it was Albo, he’d be eaten alive and hounded. Unbelievable.

soccer?

Scomo obviously doesn't know the difference between soccer and rugby league 🙄

Morrison trips over his own feet and uses the kid to break his fall

Look it’s soccer, not bloody rugby league.

Here you go kid this is what a $1M+ mortgage feels like

Nice way of describing it.

Oaf

What a stupid bloody thing to say ABC. Show the full video and you will see the child gets up fine. Digging the depths of desperation are we ABC.

Hope the little boy is OK. He took a hard hit from at least 90 to 100 kilo fat man ! Should never been running like an idiot with 8 year olds. All for another photo op. Hope the boy had a proper hospital check up. Note Morrison 1st instinct-looks 2 see where the cameras are!

Not his fault though. Nothing ever is 🤷‍♂️

I really think this is another low for ScottytheFailure . It's irresponsible & dangerous. The kid looks flattened & shaken & no one is seriously checking on his physical welfare. ScottyTheBulldozer is a stupid selfish (insert swear word).

I never thought this scene would take place in actual election campaign, but scottyfrommarketing never ceases to surprise 🤦🏻‍♂️ hope the kid is ok!

You better hope he's not in aged care

If I was that kid, I'd claim whiplash and use Scotty's super to buy my first house...

Outstanding.

Love the Prime Minister he is such a family man, the high-five at the end a nice touch

What a DH

Imagine what the Murdoch media would be saying if Albo had clotheslined that kid! AusPol2022 bulldozingkids

作为一只狗,他已经失格了

Must be a child of a green or Labor voter. Bulldozer 1 Child 0

So humiliating, just stick to what you good at bad politician

God I hate him. But I think this is clearly an accident.

See kid that’s what will happen when your loser parents vote Labor.

Should we be concerned with a PM grabbing young boys?

Add it to the ‘why the fuck is he doing that?’ photo-op list.

If an image ever perfectly displayed a personality…

Ahh the LNP, always sticking it to the younger generations

Basically 'child abuse' ridiculous, inappropriate for anyone, let alone our pm 🙄😳 Morrison

Typical, running away from the contest. He did apologise though 'Sorry son, but it wasn't my fault'.

the bulldozer

Reminds me Kramer played karate against kids in Seinfield 🤣

He may end up with emotional issues. That cuddling yuchhh 🤮 auspol

ScottyTheBulldozer does a BoJo, not even original in his clumsy

Kids thought it was funny, abc getting more like the women's weekly with all the fluff and sensational hype

The moment laying on of hands became an extreme sport.

Really leaning into this Bulldozer gimmick

morrison is an oaf

Yes that could have been bad, good to see them playing sport, Labor in Victoria banned our kids from sport, seeing their friends, attending school for nearly a year, plus kids were locked in their houses 22 hours a day, Australia is doomed if Albo wins, Australia will be like VIC

Freudian slip.

Non-story. The kids would have thought it was funny. It’s all there in the video.

At least he got his precious phot op.

How about just asking to be kept informed if the kid is all right? ScottyTheBulldozer auspol

pm spots both jerseys of swing voter

Oops. Not rugby PM. I'm sure PM was apologetic.

Jen says sighing ‘ He’s really just a big kid!’🥴

The perfect metaphor for the past three years of his government.

He's as good at soccer as he is at welding.

What an alpha move, I bet Albo would never have the courage to crash tackle a small child. This is why Scomo is going to win. 😆

Another three years under him is indeed a nightmare for many people here.

‘She’s just lovely’: Jenny Morrison joins Scott Morrison on the campaign trailIf Jenny Morrison could meet 50.1 per cent of voters, Scott Morrison would be prime minister for life. Shouldn't this vomitous puff piece state clearly it's a party political broadcast and who authorised it? She may well be lovely but her husband is corrupt and contemptible and actually the one up for election so this article is nothing but a waste of peoples time. Why does the partner of a politician have any effect over the policies of the country?
