Scott Marsh unveiled the mural in Chippendale in inner Sydney on Christmas Eve, depicting Scott Morrison in a Hawaiian shirt, draped in a frangipani lei holding a cocktail and wearing a Santa hat. A speech bubble bore the slogan, “Merry crisis”.
“People liked immediately,” Marsh said. The artist released T-shirts bearing the same Hawaiian-themed print of the prime minister, and over the last four days has made more than $15,000 in sales.A mural mocking Scott Morrison has been painted over today in Chippendale.The Chippendale mural was seen being painted over on Friday.
