By now you may have caught wind of the folktale that is Scott Morrison (or, Sco-Mo as he’s typically called) shitting his pants at Engadine Maccas in 1997.

A quick recap goes as follows:

After Sco-Mo became our fearless, Cronulla Sharks supporting leader in 2018 (outing Peter Dutton for top spot), rapper Joyride broke the news on Twitter that the Prime Minister had an accident in the hallowed halls of the golden arches of Maccas some 22 years ago, and shat his pants.

The urban legend spread around Twitter, with many threads springing up, trying to catch sent of the story.

The scoop? He’ll never reveal what happened, according to SMH journalist Latika Bourke – an answer that surely confirms what we all believe to be true.

It might be a classic case of a politician avoiding the issue, but silence speaks louder than words, so we’re gonna take it as cannon that Sco-Mo did indeed brown his dacks all those years ago.

Journo Karen Middleton clarified that the reason for the PM’s silence on the issue was due to the mid-winter ball speech in 2019, typically a time for politicians to let loose is now officially on the record.
