‘The bloke shouldn’t be PM’: TREASURER Scott Morrison

TREASURER Scott Morrison had a fiery exchange with radio host Ray Hadley, who attacked him over the Coalition’s poor Newspoll — and it had a dramatic ending.

On 2GB radio today, Hadley said that if Malcolm Turnbull cannot lead Bill Shorten by 20 points, he shouldn’t be Prime Minister.

“If Bill Shorten can’t be led by 20 percentage points, the bloke who can’t lead him by 20 percentage points based on his performance shouldn’t be Prime Minister that’s what I’m saying to you!” Hadley said.

Hadley called out Mr Morrison, saying he could not avoid commenting on the Newspoll results.

“You bag the crap out of Bill Shorten every time you get on the program you give it to him and I don’t argue with you because I don’t think he’d make a great Prime Minister,” Hadley said.

“But he’s actually taken ground off the Prime Minister and you can’t get out of this — you basically described him as un-electable, he’s stupid, he’s dumb, yet he takes ground off your prime minister.”
