It’s been called ‘awkward’.
The opposition called it ‘unhinged’.
The ABC called it a ‘slanging match’ and a ‘shirtfront’.
And the Prime Minister questioned the South Australian Premier’s “state of mind”.
But this was no brain explosion. All Jay Weatherill delivered to Josh Frydenberg yesterday was the most EPIC dad tone this fair nation has seen.
After yesterday's press conference to launch a 'virtual power plant', the Federal Energy Minister found himself conducting a joint press conference with the Premier and South Australia's Treasurer, Tom Koutsantonis, and another, random man who watched the proceedings like the other child in the family. ie: with the largest sh*t-eating grin you've ever seen.
Part way through hearing about how outstanding the Government are at securing the future of energy for the nation, dad had heard enough:
He calmly sets up what is about to happen in the family household.
Missed this the first time. Q: Minister, is this a bit awkward? @JoshFrydenberg- no! @JayWeatherill, on the long run-up: "it's about to be" pic.twitter.com/svbWGQ0aok
