'And that's a positive?': Aussies slam ScoMo after spotting him with controversial figures
- Replies 78
As the clock struck midnight, many Aussies had their way of ringing the new year in.
Even public figures shared their way of welcoming 2025.
However, former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison set social media abuzz after rubbing shoulders with some of the most intriguing figures for the new year.
Often called ScoMo, the former Australian Prime Minister was seen in a glitzy New Year's Eve party with United States' president re-elect Donald Trump.
The event, held at Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, also had the world's richest person, Elon Musk, and soon-to-be vice president JD Vance in attendance.
The social media sphere buzzed with activity when ScoMo shared a photo of himself and his wife Jenny alongside the Trumps.
Another photo showed ScoMo with Trump, giving his signature thumbs up.
'HNY 2025 from Mar-a-Lago,' ScoMo wrote in the caption, likely expecting a flood of well-wishes.
However, the replies were not quite the pat on the back he hoped for.
Retired radio presenter Neil Mitchell led the charge with a pointed critique.
'And that's a positive?' Mitchell asked.
Other social media users also chimed in and expressed their sentiments.
'As a pastor and Christian, what a disappointment to see you celebrating this ungodly man,' one wrote.
'Congratulations on achieving the remarkable feat of being the most despised individual in Australia!' another exclaimed.
'Do yourself a favour—show a shred of dignity and spare the public the misery of seeing your face,' a third commented.
However, it was not all doom and gloom in the comment section.
Some users congratulated Morrison and expressed their support.
'Congratulations, Mr Morrison! We all like you!' one supporter wrote.
Another supporter encouraged him to enjoy the moment despite the critique he received from the photos.
'Good on you. Where is KRudd? Busy packing his bags?' a commenter wrote humorously, referencing the current Australian Ambassador to the US, Kevin Rudd.
The gathering at Mar-a-Lago wasn't just about ringing in the new year; it was a convergence of political powerhouses.
Morrison's presence at the event hinted at his potential political comeback after resigning from politics a year prior and joining American Global Strategies (AGS).
The internet's reaction to Morrison's New Year photos should be a reminder of the nature of politics.
As the world watches Trump's second term unfold, all eyes will be on how these relationships evolve and what they mean for Australia and its future.
