Today it can be revealed that the Morrison government’s world class propaganda machine is not as polished as once thought, after the Prime Minister was photographed next to someone who wasn’t smiling.
Australian of the Year Grace Tame was this morning snapped standing without a signature grin – in stark contrast to the permanently smug Scott Morrison.
An insider told our reporter that the prime minister’s office was seen going into a PR meltdown this afternoon, when photos quickly spread of a stone-faced Grace, who very clearly didn’t feel like playing along with his marketing campaign.
Known now as ‘grimacegate’, as per usual, Scomo is said to have immediately looked to place blame on anyone but himself, which saw him target the only other person he could think of – his tried and trusted team of photographers.
Touting it as not only a disgrace to him professionally, but a disgrace to the country, Scott was seen chastising the photographers for not telling Grace to smile or for shouting ‘cheese.’
Despite giving Grace no reason to smile, considering he was the poster boy for fostering the exact sort of environment she was fighting against, Grace has been ripped apart in a media frenzy that decries that women should learn to play nice so they don’t hurt men’s feelings.
With Grace long gone by the time the photos hit his desk, Scomo had no one to unleash his frustration on but his pack of harpies, with one photographer reported to have been promptly sacked just months before retirement.
He’s joined by the six other government propaganda photographers who were present at the time of the incident and also failed to ask Grace to ‘give us a smile love.’
More to come.
