Angry Homeowner Yells At Australian PM & Reporters To Get Off His ¡®Freshly Seeded Grass¡¯

In a bizarre incident, the Australian Prime Minister and reporters faced the wrath of an angry homeowner during a media briefing.

The Australian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, was announcing a new stimulus package and it turned comical when he and reporters were told by a homeowner to get off his newly reseeded lawn.

Morrison travelled to a housing construction site in Googong, 28 km (17 miles) south of Canberra to announce that his government would spend nearly A$700 million ($480 million) to support an Australian construction sector hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic.

While speaking about the package supporting the "Australian dream" of home-ownership, he was interrupted by a local resident. "Can everyone get off the grass please?" an unnamed local shouted at Morrison and the travelling press contingent. "Come on, I've just reseeded that."

Morrison quickly obliged, giving the man a thumbs up and an ¡°all good¡±.

Australia has suffered far fewer coronavirus cases than most other nations but its the economy is facing its first recession in almost three decades, despite billions of dollars in government support.

Morrison¡¯s handling of the pandemic has helped his popularity soar, according to a Newspoll survey conducted for The Australian newspaper released last month.
