.walabor is moving to quash criticism after a parody music video it promoted on social media prompted a user backlash. 2600SkyNews
Fellow Liberal heavyweights including Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton make cameo appearances after being superimposed on the legendary rock band for a performance of ‘Another One Bites the Dust.’
The timely satirical clip was released after the Defence Minister confirmed he would not be recontesting the seat of Sturt at the upcoming federal election.But others believe the piece carries a darker undertone. Prior to the video being taken down, one follower wrote:“there is nothing intentionally homophobic about our video, our feedback on Facebook has been very well received, on Twitter some have tried to view it in another light which was never intended.
Mr Dixon has told Sky News 2600 the Christopher Pyne clip did not feature a mock representation of fellow retiring Minister Steve Ciobo“People should enjoy the video in the spirit it was intended as a comic use of a classic song to draws it would be. WA Labor wishes Christopher Pyne all the best in his retirement from public life.”
Sky News 2600 has reached out to the office of Prime Minister Scott Morrison but no response was received in time for publication.
