Pt1/5 Scott Morrison still standing by Liberal candidate for Warringah, Katherine Deves, who falsely claimed children were being mutilated by gender reassignment surgery in Australia. #ausvotes

Pt2/5 "I'm not a surgeon so I will rely on the chief medical officer who uses the appropriate - well I'm not the chief medical officer." Scott Morrison refuses to equate Katherine Deves' false description of gender reassignment with his continued support for her. #ausvotes

Pt3/5 Scott Morrison continues avoiding the point that children cannot undergo gender reassignment surgery in Australia. #ausvotes

Pt4/5 Scott Morrison diverts into closing the gender pay gap & highest number of women in cabinet when challenged if Katherine Deves is a distraction for the election campaign. #ausvotes

Pt5/5 Scott Morrison looks around for support from Dominic Perrottet on selecting a strong woman in Katherine Deves. Still sees her false comments as a point of view before making a hasty exit. #ausvotes
