Awkward moment Tracy Grimshaw lists ALL of Scott Morrison’s gaffes during heated interview

A Current Affair host Tracy Grimshaw delivered a scathing assessment of Scott Morrison’s leadership skills during a heated interview on Tuesday night.

The veteran Channel 9 presenter didn’t mince her words, outlining the Prime Minister’s numerous failures and embarrassing gaffes in her eyes in recent years.

‘You said on Sunday that you saved the country, (but) you didn’t hold a hose (during the bushfires), you weren’t in your tinny plucking people off rooftops (during the floods in NSW and Queensland), and you didn’t do 16 hour days in PPE on Covid-19 wards,’ she fumed.

‘You (also) didn’t have enough vaccines, you didn’t get enough RAT tests so we could finally have a holiday interstate for Christmas and China are set up, based in the Solomon Islands….do you think maybe you slightly over edged the part about saving the country?

Morrison managed to keep his composure before informing the fired up Grimshaw it was ‘quite a long list you’ve been able to pull together.’

The PM then launched a detailed response, highlighting his achievements as the nation’s leader.

He placed particular focus on the Federal Government’s response to the pandemic, where he stated ‘Jobkeeper payments saved the country’ and that ‘cash flow boosted countless struggling small businesses.’

Morrison went onto point out he was also responsible for shutting the borders which limited Covid case numbers across Australia and that national cabinet worked tirelessly to ensure the nation’s death rate was lower than other countries.

He then acknowledged the ‘great resilience and strength of Australians’, before paying tribute to Treasurer Josh Frydenberg and the Coalition’s policies, which compared to other countries, were a ‘resounding economic success.’

The PM also pointed to unemployment figures lowering to four per cent, before taking a pot shot at Labor Leader Anthony Albanese, labelling him a ‘loose unit on the economy’ who lacks a clear economic plan.

Morrison did however, admit the two leadership fails he regrets, mainly how he could have been ‘more sensitive’ and should have fast tracked the Covid-19 vaccine rollout.

‘I think I could have certainly been more sensitive at times, there is no doubt about that,’ he said.

‘In terms of actual policy decisions…I wish in hindsight we had been able to militarise the vaccine rollout earlier.

‘We were doing it through the Health Department first. If we done it earlier and I think that would have made a difference.’

Grimshaw quickly pointed out the PM had failed to mention other major criticisms about his leadership, including notoriously saying ‘I don’t hold a hose mate’ after coming under fire for going on holiday in 2019 to Hawaii while Australia was in crisis.

‘Would you have not referred to the life risking life-saving heroism of rural firefighters as holding a hose if you had your time again?’ Grimshaw asked.

Mr Morrison said he ‘did not think that was the context of the comment’, but admitted it ‘was not helpful’.

Grimshaw continued: ‘Would you make more of an effort to acknowledge and meet the women who marched in Canberra and around the country because they had enough of being a marginalisation?’

‘No, I did the right thing on that day,’ the PM replied.

I offered a meeting in my office as I do with so many groups and that’s exactly, I was meeting with other groups on the day as well and I was very happy to have a discussion and I would have welcomed the opportunity for the top of a discussion in my office.’

Grimshaw continued the line of attack – reminding the prime minister of the widespread outrage he sparked after refused to meet women’s rights activists protesting outside Parliament in March 2021.

The Canberra justice protest arose after former Liberal staffer Brittany Higgins came forward with rape allegations against a colleague, sparking a wave of sexual assault accusations from other women within Parliament.

‘Would you make more of an effort to acknowledge and meet the women who marched in Canberra and around the country because they had enough of being marginalised?’ the journalist asked.

But the Prime Minister doubled down on his decision.

‘No, I did the right thing on that day,’ the PM replied.

‘I offered a meeting in my office as I do with so many groups and that’s exactly, I was meeting with other groups on the day as well and I was very happy to have a discussion and I would have welcomed the opportunity for the top of a discussion in my office.’

The federal election is on Saturday, May 21 with Labor the early frontrunners to topple the Coalition and assume power with Albanese the new PM
