On Friday, Prime Minister Scott Morrison and a team of photographers ambushed a Mt Eliza hair salon to treat a stranger to some pampering. The surprised woman left with a perm, and a receipt for 5000 shillings, equivalent to approximately $7000 in today’s currency.
Morrison recently came under fire for not knowing the price of a loaf of bread or litre of milk. Morrison is adamant that he has not lost touch with ordinary Australians. “I know the price of all sorts of things. A perm, for example, costs 5000 shillings. That’s equivalent to 100 litres of milk or 2 loaves of bread.”
The team at Coco’s Salon were dumbfounded when Scotty rolled up his sleeves at the basins and mansplained to the team, with 50 years experience between them, how to wash hair.
“Move, Sophie. This is how you do it.”
He then tenderly man-handled an innocent woman that had come in for a half head of foils and trim, telling her, “Some curls would really soften up your features.”
As a man of the people, Morrison had no issues making relatable small talk while he poured chemicals onto his stunned client’s head, “Much on for the weekend? Are you visiting one of your holiday homes or heading to the Portsea Polo?”
The unusual event has been described as a tasteless political stunt. A spokesperson from his team said, “It’s a perfectly normal thing to do. Scotty’s just a regular guy. He knows what people want, especially of the female variant. What female wouldn’t want a weird guy at the beauty parlour to give her groovy modern hair-do?”
Babbler understands that the woman has since shaved her head.
