Aussie PM Morrison red-faced as photoshop gaffe gives him two left feet

It’s official, Australia’s Prime Minister has two left feet.

PM Scott Morrison was left red-faced by his body parts yesterday as sharp-eyed Twitter viewers spotted a photoshop gaffe.

Keen to cover up his scruffy footwear in a family portrait, the Prime Minister’s aides airbrushed out his shoes, accidentally giving him two left feet in the process.

Scott Morrison literally doesn't know his left from his right.

The clumsy mistake had users taking to Twitter to mock Morrison.

Morrison engaged with the outrage online, defending his choice of footwear and saying his staff acted without his knowledge.

“I didn’t ask for the shoeshine, but if you must Photoshop, please focus on the hair (lack thereof), not the feet!” he said.

However, the incident could dent Morrison’s credibility just months before he faces an election battle.

“To be re-elected, Morrison needs everything to go right and ridicule is the absolute last thing he needs,” said Haydon Manning, professor of politics at Flinders University in South Australia.
