Скачать или смотреть ‘Honestly people’: Prime Minister will ‘not be distracted’ by culture wars

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has urged Australians to focus on jobs rather than the culture wars while knocking back a question from a journalist about whether he was concerned with the cancellation of Gone with the Wind and a Chris Lilley show.

Mr Morrison delivered a passionate response saying “Honestly people - let's focus on what's really happening” as he described the extent of Australia’s unemployment crisis.

“I'm worried about jobs … I'm worried about 800,000 Australians going on to JobSeeker in the last three months,” he said.

“I'm not interested in what they're showing on streaming services. I'm interested in getting Australians back to work. I'm not interested in the debate on what people want to tear down. I'm interested in what people want to build up, and what we want to build back up are businesses and jobs and we need to restore livelihoods and lives.”

Mr Morrison went onto say he would “not be distracted” by the culture wars which has been a popular topic of discussion on Twitter.

“What you're watching on television is your business … Let's focus on where Australians are hurting today. And they really are hurting,” he said.
