@theage I'm surprised he didn't turn up to shake the hand of the corpse

@theage I’m sure that’s true, but what’s also true is this is The Age trying to find a way not to look at the elephant in the room.

@theage Morrison caught in his very own web of deceit .

RT @theage : A woman whose sister was barred from attending their father's Queensland funeral has accused the PM of using the death to "advance his political agenda".

@theage Thank you for speaking out. Scomo is a shameful political opportunist. Disgusting. Sorry he used your family’s grief. 🙏

@theage @ScottMorrisonMP

@theage Not a big Morrison fan but exactly how is this his fault? The state's have set up the hard borders...his only option would be to step in and forcibly open them.

@theage Knoath he did.

@theage Ungrateful & hypocritical! She says “very private moment has been made very public". Yet fails to mention how it became a public issue in the first place. I don’t suppose she engaged the media to garner public support...

@theage Morrison, Dutton and Corman our county’s living nightmare

@theage Oh my! Looks like the Empathy consultant gave the wrong advice on this one!

@theage Sadly not surprised @ScottMorrisonMP doesn’t care who he hurts if he can score a cheap political point.

@theage Good on her. How awful to be used that way.

@theage His agenda? More like Palaszczuk disgraceful behaviour!

@theage “In a scathing letter to the Prime Minister, Ms Prendergast said she was "extremely disappointed that you have used my family to try and advance your political agenda". " [You have] made an absolutely devastating time for my family even harder," she wrote.”
