The Prime Minister spoke with United States President Donald Trump after an Australian reporter was attacked by police while covering riots in Washington, but he was unaware of the incident when the phone call took place.

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.

Ohh, wasn’t that nice, probably only because it was a commercial Station, would he have investigated if it Would have been ABC

Window dressing Slowmo doenst care and didnt ask

Good on him. They can’t have much to do over there in the embassy. Keep them out of trouble.

Morrison, you have just embarrassed yourself over two very stupid people who thought they were covering Mother Theresa parade.

They'll have to take a ticket.

Put a band aid on it .... move on .... pointless to reach the headlines!.... y are they there btw

The question I would start with is - why were all the other media personnel behind the barrier and NOT attacked?

Fairly sure there’s enough going on in the US right now, Scummo.

Why did he need to ask the embassy to investigate? Why wasn’t little Arthur already doing it? Or was he at a cocktail party.

Big brother is incapable to protect you now, my little head.

At the behest of AlboMP

We’re sorry Australia. Save yourselves.

ScottMorrisonMP 👍🏼

But Morrison steals and thrives on corruption 🤔

For what? Has the Australian Govt issue a condemnation order against USA for legitimising Trump's security order that threatens fundamental freedoms (Art 1 US Constitution). It is a flagrant breach & infringement of US Constitution & Human Rights. JusticeForGeorgeFloyd

Must be hard for Scomo to ask Xi not to crush protest and reporting in Hong Kong when Trump crushes protest and reporting in Washington. With friends like these ...

“Australia's relationship with the US is being tested by the escalating chaos raging across the country” No, no it’s not, nowhere near it.

aha, yeah that's gonna happen..

Dumb

nobby15 Got proof of morrison’s request ?

Might have way more to whinge and whine about if it were Macron’s police!

“No problem Scott, we’ll drop what we’re doing immediately and get that investigation underway” 😳

Why would miracles Morrison authorize a representation on behalf of a free press to a President who is clear he hates the press. Now Morrison advocates for .7NewsAustralia what about FreeAssange. Morrison doesn't want a free press that's why Murdoch has 64% metro circulation

Democracy war zone

Who's going to investigate Scott Morrison's ongoing attack blaming everything on immigrants of color, Refugees, 'African gangs', First Nations Peoples and members of the Gay community?

ScottMorrisonMP Come out and make a statement condemning what Trump is unleashing on his own citizens!! Be in the right side of history. Don’t be Australia’s Neville Chamberlain!

I'm sure that will be Washington priority......These reporters wouldn't last a min in a war zone, more pampered snowflakes....

Ha! Good luck with that. Perhaps if the media spent less time race-baiting and more time giving us the actual news then there might be a bit more sympathy for them.

Hey let’s run around filming in a riot zone, yay, look at us, right here amongst it, warriors.......oh, it’s real?! Ouchee, a punch in the nose can happen?!

Une réaction internationale contre Trump ?

With all that's going on is a cameraman with a bruise really top of the agenda?

How about they make themselves useful & report from the outer section. Its not like this is a controlled protest , its anarchy

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
