The most famous race in Australian motorsport got underway on Sunday and the Prime Minister was in the thick of the action, touring pit lane and even posing for photos in one of the Supercars in the garage.
Stream every practice, qualifier & race of the 2021 Repco Bathurst 1000 Live & On-Demand on Kayo with no ad-breaks during racing. New to Kayo?Morrison presented retiring seven-time Supercars champion Jamie Whincup with his Hall of Fame trophy. He didn’t miss the chance to herald Australia’s vaccination rates as Mount Panorama welcomed back a capacity crowd after only 4000 fans could attend last year’s race due to the pandemic.“We’re well over 80 per cent, we’ll be above 90 per cent double vaxxed around the country very shortly and the fact that Australians did that means everybody can be at Bathurst for the best race in Australia.”But the PM’s Bathurst roadshow didn’t stop there.
Morrison, who had been a passenger with Skaife at a previous race, was hanging on for dear life as the Supercars legend put the pedal to the floor, flying around the circuit reaching a top speed of 230km/h.“Thankfully, we’re in a different car this time. It’s a real thrill to be driving along here with you, a legend of the sport.”
For goodness sake, it was a bit of fun. No political grandstanding, just plain old fun. Have we lost our sense of adventure and fun?
Only the PM could get a ride in those race cars (except for the drivers) so it is just another way to get his fat face in front of a news camera. Bring on Albo.
What else would you expect. They gave him a good booing for his opportunistic effort.
The echidna got more love
I remember when there were Australian cars going around the track at Bathurst, back when we actually made stuff rather than being a giant quarry.
Hmmmm looks like That Turkey Scott Morrison is Trying to Showboat Himself again Crew?😆
Oh you forgot to add- he was BOOED…
Would god approve Scotty
He looked intellectually disabled, did he see these shots before his team printed them?
What a shit article by Matthew Sullivan plastic journalist 🖕
ScottyFromPhotoOps was the thick of the action. The thickest of the action.
Such a predictable flog…thinking that the knockabout Aussie bloke is his base but even they see through his charade. Boothurst
ScottyFromPhotoOps LiarFromTheShire
''Skaife was doing his best to rattle his high-profile passenger.''
Newsflash. Everything he does is for his own benefit.
Jeez people bagging the PM for this FFS, stop bagging as I’d like to do the tour as would Albo I’m sure if he were there or anyone else who could swing it. Give it a rest and chill🤬🤬
As usual.
His grin is just so annoying. Cannit STAND ScottyFromPhotoOps
It's THE car race in Australia and I'd be surprised if he didn't go, maybe he's just an über fan?
The car industry packed up and left because the government refused to be blackmailed firstly by these greedy corporations and secondly by the equally greedy union demands for higher wages.
Vile smirking foo gladly I missed the stunt and went on to enjoying the race
And what a surprise!
Everything he does is for his own benefit.
A desperate publicity stunt from someone who knows he’s on the way out
He was there to declare, 'it's not a race'
Boof head
No, he was just thick as usual.
In the thick of it huh? Must b referring to the texture of the 💩👍
So news not covering he was booed at his tax payer funded promo
Give the bloke a break, he sacrificed the Sydney Harbour 10k Marathon with Dave Sharma to spend time with the battlers at Bathurst. 💡
The public does not see any issue with the PM taking part in some sporting activity. It shows that he loves freedom just like the rest of us and he is not a far-left extremist.
Heard the crowd booed him , looks like nobodies buy his shtick anymore …
I love that dude. He's a living legend but who's the dude on the right ruining the photo?
The decent people of Australia will vote Scomo
I changed channels. ScottyFromMarketing
He told qt that he “went to church on Sundays”… which service did he attend today ?
ScottyFromPhotoOps is only good at photo ops. From fake pool games to fake hammering in a nail to fake hanging up Xmas decorations to fake swimming 20 laps a day. He's a hollow man who offers nothing of substance except bastardry. That he is good at.
It's like just before the last election he put on a performance at church in front of the cameras to get votes. That was sickening, abusing religion like that to gain power while pushing policies that are the total opposite to Christ.
Just another photo op. And another bloody cap. He's totally shameless attention seekers. While scomo treats himself to a jaunt- Albo talks about TAFFES to further help educate Aussies!
While Scott Morrison was doing another PR stunt, Australia's next Prime Minister was laying out his plans for a better Australia. AlboForPM
duly supported by rupert murdoch.. jog on newscorp , a stain on democracy
Was Skaife actually going that fast without a helmet Very strange if he was.
Do these hot wheels for adults races address their carbon footprint?
Call an election Stop wasting my money on bs
jxlawler Shameless Scott. What they should have said... 'P**s off, Boofhead!'
If swimming 20 laps a day means one get stupider and moronic each day , then then Scomo must have swam 200 million laps since birth.
jxlawler Ya think?
And he called it Mt Parmagiana! What a total fake😅
BobBobnge1 Didn’t even stay for the race
🤷🏼♀️🚩🇦🇺 auspol
He was proving he was straya as
We see you 👀you fool,you are not fooling anyone 🙂
Smacks of desperation, those constant PR photos even if it's totally inappropriate.
Look at that face and the price of decency,
KatieMouse71 Says it all...stunt boy doing photo opps while Albanese does policy.
They didn't put in the article he got booed
He's only interests are in photo opportunities and rorts for his mates
Everything his for his own benefit, all he cares about is Scott Morrison
There is no accusation.
I hope he loses the election. I can't stand him
ScottMorrisonMP ScottyFromPhotoOps
Vote them out
Oh no , silly boy who love drinking beer at Hawaii. Enjoyed good lifestyle
“Morrison’s a wanker 👏👏. 👏👏 👏”
At least this Prime Minister turns up to Ozzie events. I agree with Whincup even though I am Ford. It was great to have the Prime Minister here.
renshaw_gary Yep it’s the same guy that voted to stop supporting Holden & then this slob has the audacity to turn up to the car race without a local manufactured car & all because of him ScottMorrisonMP Bathurst
All prime ministers are invited every year
Give the guy a break!!
He can’t win
kackles74 Is this all this flog is useful for - endless phoney photo ops?
More typical Morrison behaviour all spin and no substance just looked at him he hasn't got an athletic bone in his body
SageAU Scott Morrison is simply thick.
I dislike him intensely, though I think it's OK he attended. That's what PMs do. His problem is that he's a shameless flog who's done nothing for the country, and the next 5 months is going to be full of him popping up masquerading as an aussie bloke campaigning on our dime.
scottytheLIAR
Ruined my day. Switched to Netflix. Sick of this wanker
ScottyFromPhotoOps ScottyThePathologicalLiar AlboForPM
If he wasn’t there you’d be screaming he dissed the race and motoring people. Stop with the nonsense.
Well yes, ruin the racing industry, shut down Holden and Ford factories, force people to scrimp on expensive racked up petrol and then put yourself front and center in a race... no surprise he was faced with death stares and absolute silence.
As you would expect.
ScottyFromPhotoOps the FakePM
How much $$$$ did the network get through JobKeeper? Did they return any of it?
He is in election mode. Albanese announced TAFE places. Morrison just announces himself at the race. He simply has no policy platform, never did
Bloody hope the ghost of Ben Chifley is haunting the Prime Ministerial bedroom.
I wanted to see him behind the wheel 🤣🤣🤣 even an old commodore or Torana see if he can hit 200+ Bathurst1000
Absolute flog
Scott Morrison has got thick around the waistline at the Bathurst 1000 but he has been accused of jacking up the race car for his own photo op.
Pity he has no leadership qualities or policies that benefit the country. He can enjoy Instagram when he's voted out.
Mark_Skaife ScottMorrisonMP So much for being safe in the safety car Hitting 230km/hr cc SafeWork_NSW 7NewsSydney No brains, no helmets RepcoSC Bathurst1000 Bathurst 7NEWS 9News 9Today TheProjectTV abc730 TheDrum
cocwomble obtuse narcissist parasite! Embarrassing!
Lol. All. ALL politicians use public events for self promotion. I thought that’s how they get elected 😂😂😂
When MurdochGutterMedia comes out and calls it a shameless stunt, you know scottymustgo AlboForPM ScottyFromPhotoOps
Revolting, he reckons he's supporting flood victims but he didn't give a fig about the fire victims, too busy having a holiday in Hawaii
How embarrassing must it be deep down inside knowing you revere a politician of any party that you must platform them high above all. Talk about giving yourself an uppercut, or is that upper cult🤔🤔.
Wonder if he was wearing his special pants.
Well he is a stuntman😎
Smirking pm
MSMWatchdog2013 I’m happy if he used our tax payers money to fix his teeth and maybe get dentures. I hate his smirk, but with those teeth it makes it 1000x worse.
BOO
He was booed
In Australia. We’ve had 2033 DEATHS due to COVID. Yup plenty to smile about ya muppet scomo Scotty Potty
Well done ScottMorrisonMP ! Thanks mate!
I wonder if ScottMorrisonMP noticed the hypocrisy of showing his ugly mug at a race between Holden and Ford after shi++ing from a great height on the Australian car industry that no longer exists, maybe ScottyFromPhotoOps could call an election instead
This is just garbage not news.
ChrisCourtney4 No kidding!
Give it a rest
ScottyFromPhotoOps will never miss an opportunity to spruik his BS, it did however look like he pulled another engadine maccas
Shafted his pants
All the haters thinking their keyboard comments mean something 🤣🤣🤣
is Bathurst an event any Labor leader can attend, or have they become too woke?
National embarrassment
Today on scuntmo avoids the real problems....
Had to put himself front and centre. Surprised there wasn't 7 or 8 cameras in the car with him. That mute button came in handy
“Hey Skaify, how good was the Coalition’s efforts seeing Holden leave the country?”
He inspires many unqualified personalities to run for office
Sure is thick. Got that bit right.
