"These are people that can't grow potatoes, they've got a mutant lawn weed as their national symbol, and they can't verbalise the difference between a tree and the number three."
An advisor to the Australian Liberal Party has launched a stunning tirade on Ireland following opposition calls for a same-sex marriage referendum in Australia.
Grahame Morris told Sky News Australia that he 'loves the Irish,' before taunting us about the Famine, our accents, and for some unknown to Christ reason, shamrocks:
"The trigger was a vote in Ireland - I love the Irish and half the parliament's full of Irishmen, but these are people who can't grow potatoes, they've got a mutant lawn weed as their national symbol and they can't verbalise the difference between a tree and the number three,"
he stuttered, bantering us off like a 'Bogan Aussie' Premier League commentary video.
Yes, poor old prehistoric Ireland, stuck in the 1840s.
Morris - himself obviously a bastion of verbal articulation and intelligent thought - went on to say he felt the Australian electorate 'wasn't ready' for a same-sex marriage vote, to the hearty laughs of the opposition's Bruce Hawker and most of the modern world.
He has more than 30 years’ association with the Liberal and National Parties around Australia, incredibly, serving as parliamentary adviser to Liberal Leaders Andrew Peacock and Alexander Downer, along with Chief of Staff to former Prime Minister, John Howard.
In 2012, Morris, who you can follow on Twitter here, made a public apology to ABC journalist Leigh Sales after calling her a "cow" following her grilling of Aussie prime minister, Tony Abbott.
Fair dinkum, eh?
