Prime Minister Scott Morrison spoke with US President Donald Trump after an Australian reporter was attacked by police while covering riots in Washington.

Australia's relationship with the US is being tested by the escalating chaos raging across the country, as well as Mr Trump's invitation to Australia to join the G7 group of nations along with Russia, India and South Korea.because it was a place "for frank conversations among allies and friends".Mr Trudeau's intervention puts Australia in an awkward position.

After becoming aware of the footage the Prime Minister contacted Channel 7 to check on the crew's welfare and assure them of the government's support should they wish to pursue a formal complaint with the local police.

Trump takes call from Morrison in midst of major crisis! Two peas in the poxy toxic pods

Journo trying to become the story again? They have been getting in way too close. So you get what you get. Don’t be the story.

MinhKular 😂

Live footage of the conversation....

Wonder if scottyfrommarketing offered to make him Samosas on his next visit

People of the world, Unfollow Donald Trump!

Does anyone have any sympathy for the media after all the hatred and division you've been pushing for and now you are crying because it backfired in your faces!!? Its about time you get a taste of your own medicine! 0 sympathy for any media outlet whatsoever

PM Morrison: 'hey, good job Prez' Prez Trump: 'why thank you PM' PM Morrison: 'golf Sunday?' Prez Trump: 'sure & you? a bit of prayer?' PM Morrison: 'it's a great life...' Prez Trump: 'sure is...sure is...'

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, Episcopal Diocese of Washington 'The president did not pray when he came to St John's...we and the diocese of Washington distance ourselves from the incendiary language of this president...antithetical to everything we stand for.'

But they only talked and spying and jam sandwiches which they both really like.

wasnt it before the attack on reporters ?

Why is a working tv news crew not practicing OH&S requirements? Why are they allowed to wear standard Antifa streetwear instead of high vis Media safety vests ? 🤔 Has their safety been overlooked for need to get a headline story? 🤔DCProtests 7news theage

Oh the meeting of small minds Morrison and Trump Wow How fortunate we are to have these two guiding lights 🤪🤪

Regrettably policing does not attract the best and brightest

Stay out of it ScoMo. Time to rethink Australian allies. Do you really think for one minute realDonaldTrump will help Aussies if they were in real trouble. He cares for no one other than his base. Time for Australia to stand on its own.

WHO WOULD BELIEVE THAT as if, here we have TRUMP UNDER SIEGE so what's he do TALK TO SCUMMO about Amour Boulevarde Kiss Kiss & make up

.Fft and said WHAT?

Not attacked. False.

ScottyFromMarketing still shows NO spine or common decency when he agrees to attend G7 hosted by Trump who is UnfitForOffice. RemoveTrumpNow MorrisonNotMyPM LNPNotMyGovernment!

Asked to investigate, which basically means nothing will happen.

Are u friend of Australia Because that fella is friend of nobody 🙂

I doubt there was any sincere acknowledgement, apology or promise of action from the Tangerine in Chief, and very much doubt Morrison would have the stones to press the issue.

Pity Morrison hasn't the courage to support Assange.

Imagine having to speak to the guy that attacks the media day in day out.

Wouldn't you like to be a fly on the wall listening to Trump /Scumo Conversation. The mind boggles at the content of alleged talk.

Ha! ...media spin bites reporters! Australian reporters the ones wearing bicycle helmets!

Trump to ScoMo; “ C’mon mate, you know me, fake news “

piss weak attempt my god

did he really or are you relying on the pmo?

Waiting follow report it

What is said by Donald ? Fake news ?

It's a protective service, it shouldn't be an enforcement service. Spirit of the law is to protect, to provide a mutually agreed to rules to live by to protect all members of community in a balanced way, more or less. Police ought to operate within the spirit of the law.

USA has a lot of work to do to change some of the extreme cultural behaviours of police forces. Perhaps a change of name from a law enforcement agency to public protection agency?

Did he congratulate him? LedByCowards LedByFrauds LedByBrokenBusinessmen

Was the reporter playing dumb by getting in the scrum.. do they also run into burning buildings to report a fire? How about they make themselves useful & report from the outer section. Its not like this is a controlled protest , its anarchy

The reporters were dressed like protesters. Pretty stupid, huh?

Shit happens. Get used to it.

And apologised?

Quoting a meme, Scott Morrison says US violence will not bring about changePrime Minister Scott Morrison has referred to a meme to denounce violent protests in the United States prompted by the shocking death of an African-American man. He’s quoting memes now? What next, sharing YouTube videos and writing “do your own research!”? ScoMo must've been asleep during the part where the class was told MLK got assassinated. Yes, the police have been very violent.

Scott Morrison says households may get cash grants for home renovationsThe construction and entertainment sectors are next in line for targeted stimulus as the federal government hones in on coronavirus economic recovery. More cheap and nasty... Just have to sort out who are your political friends I guess before the cheque book comes out. More asset inflation (preservation) over real economic growth, driven by ever increasing household debt, already 200%+ in Australia—like the Fed-feulled US stock market recovery, where current and future tax money that should proivde social services is funnelled to the wealthy

The RBA has just one message for Scott Morrison and Josh FrydenbergOpinion: It’s possible Reserve Bank governor Dr Philip Lowe has been reading a book about speechmaking – the one that says: keep the message simple and keep saying it until it sinks in | 1RossGittins 1RossGittins Or the one that says ‘keep saying everything is ok until it isn’t’? Hopefully one day, someone will ask him why they started a new rate cut cycle without having normalised for over a decade? The seeds for a crisis were sown right there.
