The lead up to the election is continuing to heat up, the country’s future hanging in the balance as we all prepare to head to the polls next month. Unsurprisingly, the prevailing sentiment in the public sphere seems to be firmly set on removing Liberal Party leader Scott Morrison from office, so much so that a Facebook event to celebrate his impending defeat at Engadine McDonalds has racked up almost 20,000 RSVPs.
For those unfamiliar with the story behind Engadine Maccas, the fast food joint in question is where Morrison allegedly shit himself after the Cronulla Sharks lost the Rugby League Grand Final in 1997. The rumour came to light in 2018 following Aussie rapper Joyride spilling the beans on Twitter, citing a friend who worked there at the time as his source.
Morrison himself has been quick to shut down the allegation, labelling it as “absolute and total rubbish” and going so far as calling it “the biggest urban myth ever” (imagine a Maccas poo being labelled an “urban myth”).
