UPDATE: Scott Morrison(‘s team) deleted the original tweet/Instagram/Facebook. But, this legend ripped the video so:

In politicians trying way too hard – and probably breaching parliament’s media rules – here’s our new Prime Minister Scott Morrison trying to turn voting in Question Time into a deeply shitty meme.
https://twitter.com/ScottMorrisonMP/status/1040173134396121088
As you can see, he thinks he knows how to use the fire emoji, and he thinks he can distract us from his rubbish policies on almost everything by playing the daggy dad card.
It’s not gonna work buddy, but we’re here to compile people wailing on you for making the most cringe-worthy piece of content we have seen in at least a few days.
Also, let’s spell out quickly what’s happening here, he’s dubbed 1999 Fatman Scoop hit ‘Be Faithful‘ on top of footage of Libs raising their hands during a parliamentary vote in the House of Reps. He’s chosen for them to put their hands up when Mr. Scoop cries:
You got a hundred-dollar bill, get your hands up!
You got a fifty-dollar bill, get your hands up!
You got a twenty-dollar bill, get your hands up!
You got a ten-dollar bill, get your hands up!
Which is TOO REAL coming from people earning at least $207K a year. You know what the national full-time median income is? According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, it’s about $66K.
We’re sure you too know the song well, but in case you’ve forgotten, the lyrics are, shall we say, questionable. A highlight is when the Scoop Man says “Who fuckin’ tonight?” repeatedly.
Anyway, here’s the entire internet coming together for a common goal: mercilessly ripping into the man who represents our nation to the rest of the world.

I don’t know what I expected from a Scott Morrison government but “tweeting a video soundtracked by a Fatman Scoop song containing the lyrics ‘who fuckin tonight’ in his first month” definitely wasn’t on the list of possibilities

The World: Trump’s tweets are the most embarrassing communications from any leader in the history of leadership.
Scott Morrison: Hold my reputation. https://t.co/HXciyOWsUo— Vaxine Beneba Clarke (@slamup) September 13, 2018
Does the Parliamentary L/NP realise it was humiliated tonight by PM Morrison? The PM has portrayed his colleagues as a bunch of mindless morons. Surely the PM’s account has been hacked😳 https://t.co/QrokIvyYW6

FFS! Really can’t let this go by.
How ’bout….
The lapel pins were one thing, but @ScottMorrisonMP‘s new National Salute goes a bit too far.#LNPfail #auspol https://t.co/6PhDGtghxR— 💧 @Jim_Pembroke@aus.social (@Jim_Pembroke) September 13, 2018
I’m now fascinated by what was going on in the Prime Minister’s office during the five hours it took them to produce this video.
Did someone pitch this? Were there meetings? We’re other songs considered? Why?
Mainly ‘why’? https://t.co/d5pWOmNXPf

Pity you don’t have enough women on your side to reach the 2nd verse “Single ladies! I can’t hear ya!
Single ladies! Make noise!
Single ladies! I can’t hear ya!
Single ladies! Make noise!”— Pauline Pantsdown (@PPantsdown) September 13, 2018
I hope Fatman Scoop sues Scott Morrison

Oh yeah, and what Morrison posted tonight may or may not be illegal, so writes journo Mike Carlton. He’s got some parliamentary screengrabs to back up what he’s saying, but it looks like you’re definitely not allowed to “digitally manipulate” Question Time footage – especially not for “political party advertising” or “satire or ridicule“.
Astounding if Morrison tweeted this. IT’S ILLEGAL. You are not permitted to edit sound or vision of parliament for satirical or dramatic effect, or for political advertising. If I was Labor I’d be onto this like a rat up a drainpipe. https://t.co/JJV72osQEc

Yep. Here’s the bit that will cause a world of pain for Morrison and at least one of his digital dwarfs… pic.twitter.com/3XtRdVxejB

In case you want a little reminder of what the OG sounded/looked like:
A cooked song for a cooked nation.
