Prime Minister Scott Morrison was seen taking in the Lilydale scenery on Monday 4 April as he visited local businesses.
Here to talk with employers about the apprenticeship program announced in the pre-election budget, the Prime Minister enjoyed a stop at Main Street cafe Hutch & Co.
“A birthday celebration and a groom on his way to get married – it was all happening today in Lilydale, in Melbourne,” a post to Scott Morrison’s Facebook read.
“Great to join our outstanding candidate for Casey Aaron Violi today for a quick coffee at one of his local cafes in his home patch.”
Comments flooded the post from the PM’s visit to Lilydale, some in support of his leadership and time spent in the outer east, others drawing attention his seemingly poor handling of the floods in Queensland and New South Wales.
“So good to see you with a smile today stay strong,” Gail Vinter said and “Winning smiles! Wonderful!!” Megan Hastie posted.
“Meanwhile flood victims are still cleaning up. Hope you had a nice day,” Neil Leah commented.
“The only time Scott ever works hard is when he’s desperate to retain is his fat paycheck. Now it’s just sad,” Isaac Carroll posted.
“When are you Scott Morrison, going to meet the people of Australia as leader should be talking to people, not sneaking into States like you snuck into Queensland and did not talk to people, only company’s, a Leader stands out in front his men,” Raymond Hughes said.
Scott Morrison’s visit to Lilydale was short lived, heading off to Diamond Creek to see more apprentices taking up trades.
