Rift? What rift? Morrison and Hawke put their bromance on display | KnottMatthew
, Hawke even said he believed Morrison should have quit politics after his election loss to avoid becoming embittered. This was a rather awkward thing to say given the pair sit next to each other in House of Representatives.
To see Hawke suddenly bagging Morrison was like watching Robin turn on Batman. Or to see Ernie throw Bert under a bus. Yes, Hawke believed Morrison should not have secretly assumed five extra ministerial portfolios on top of the prime ministership. But he added: “Having known Scott Morrison for many years in many different capacities I have only the highest regard for his character, ability, and service as Prime Minister.”Question Time offered Hawke and Morrison a chance to put their bromance on public display.
Knowing the journalists and photographers in the public gallery would be scrutinising them for any signs of a rift, the pair were more talkative than usual, chatting conspicuously throughout the afternoon.
