Photo of the honorable Prime Minister of Australia (only the Treasurer at the time however), Scott Morrison, proudly holding up a lump of coal in Australia's parliament.[0] I believe "don't be scared" was what his party said to the opposition at the time. And Barnaby Joyce, the deputy Prime Minister and leader of the conservative Nationals who stand for Christian family values, holding the very same lump of coal[1]. At this time, 2017, he probably hadn't yet publically admitted to having an affair with one of his assistants - who later got pregnant[2]. If Australia's political class hadn't already jumped the shark, this was it.
