Telling a Morrison

On the 1st November 2021, French President Emmanuel Macron accused Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison of lying about cancelling a multi-billion-dollar submarine contract. Famously he said ‘I don’t think, I know’ when a journalist asked him if he thought Morrison lied. On Sunday 14th November 2021 Twitter account @bluejenellen captured this moment, and the sentiment of many Australians, by coining the phrase ‘telling a Morrison’ to mean ‘telling a lie’.

"Is that the truth, or are you telling a Morrison?"
