Hawaiian-themed mural of Scott Morrison pops up in Sydney
SYDNEY, Dec 25, 2019, 9News. A mural of Prime Minister Scott Morrison in Hawaiian garb with flames rising all around him has appeared on an inner-Sydney wall. Artist Scott Marsh on Tuesday posted a photo of the Chippendale artwork – with Mr Morrison saying “Merry Crisis!!” via a speech bubble – on Instagram, 9News reported.
Mr Morrison is depicted in the mural wearing an unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt, orange lei and Santa Claus hat while holding a cocktail.
In the background, red and black flames rise high.
It follows the prime minister’s decision last weekend to cut an overseas family holiday in the US state short to respond to the bushfire crisis.
“Heading out to Hawaii when the country is literally on fire is probably not a really great move in terms of leadership. I think public sentiment around that is all pretty unified,” Mr Marsh told AAP on Tuesday.
“I painted it all last night, took about three hours, woke up 5am this morning and finished it this afternoon – in time for Santa.”
