SYDNEY - Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison faced renewed criticism on Saturday , after sharing bush fire-themed party campaign ads that opponents condemned as"disgusting" and a respected defence force association said was"milking" the crisis.
But he found himself in a fresh scandal late on Saturday after tweeting a video heralding his announcements about the military, and his Liberal Party made a similar post linking to the party website. It was accompanied by a military-themed video that was"authorised by S. Morrison, Liberal Party, Canberra".
"To then solicit donations to the Liberal Party while millions of Aussies are giving to fire appeals is beyond belief. Note this disgusting ad was personally authorised by this scum of a PM," he tweeted. Criticism of Morrison's absence was widespread, sparking street protests and a flood of angry social media posts demanding #whereisscomo.
