Prime Minister Scott Morrison has accused Labor of acting in “bad faith” after they accused him of being insensitive to people with disabilities.
It comes after Mr Morrison answered a question by the mother of a young child with autism by saying he was “blessed” his two daughters were not disabled. Mr Morrison said “every single child is a blessing” and the woman, whose name is Catherine, who asked the question did not take his comments to mean anything offensive.
“I was just simply saying it’s tough and I’m grateful these hardships that I and Jenny haven’t had to deal with, I was just trying in good faith to say, look, I haven’t walked in your shoes, Catherine,” he said. “The fact that Bill Shorten and other seek to leap on that and twist the words and turn it into something political I just thought showed really bad faith.”
Labor throw mud but do not like getting it. Woke out if hand here 100 percent of us agree with the PM. No need to apologise to the pathetic wokes.
Then why did he call Dylan Alcott to apologise? If he did nothing wrong, there’s nothing to apologise for.
He was … imagine saying that to a mothers face … I’m sure she feels blessed also 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Because he is. First thing he said when asked lastnight was insensitive. Needs more empathy training apparently.

Well done Scotty, thanks for endangering our national security. Naval & military bases at our doorstep. Typical LNP failed diplomacy. There is no excuse.

If he hadn't shown the pacific island nation leaders such disrespect and fobbed them off regarding climate action, they may not have made this pact. If Australia won't form a relationship with them, looks like China will.
