PM fumbles press conference to reassure
Australian Women by trying to weaponise complaint
Scott Morrison has apologised for claiming News Corp was dealing with an active claim of workplace harassment during a media conference on Tuesday, saying he deeply regrets his “insensitive response to a question”.
In a
Late Night Facebook post, the prime minister said, “In the course of today’s media conference when responding to further questions I deeply regret my insensitive response to a question from a News Ltd journalist by making an anonymous reference to an incident at News Ltd that has been rejected by the company. I accept their account. I was wrong to raise it, the emotion of the moment is no excuse.
