Australian man interrupts PM Morrison to say 'get off my lawn' - BBC News

A local resident has interrupted a press briefing by Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison to complain that onlookers were trampling on his recently reseeded lawn.

Mr Morrison had been announcing a scheme to offer subsidies to residents on home renovations.

The way they solved that is how everything should be solved.

Home owner was so nice, he clearly knows how to deal with people. Gave them the wake up call at the beginning cause they should know better, ended with an apology cause he knows it leaves them feeling mistaken and they can't be mad cause he was so polite and yet in the right. Man is a leader lol

[blanebeats]

This the best human interaction I've seen recently. Two dudes showing respect for each other. Simple, but legitimately beautiful

[lukasmccreary]

That’s is probably the most nicest man that interrupted a news talk

[kipptt]

like how the camera pans to the guy as if its from an episode of the office

[ryntintynvin]

I love how chill they all are about it

[MonkeyBabba]

Respect to both men they both handled it pretty well, after reseeding my full garden this year i couldn't say i would have been so calm.

He never said "get off my lawn"
He said "Can everyone get off the grass please".

[raghavm]

A country is nothing without lawn and order.

[jasonheath]

Morrison might be long gone but this never gets old.

[drush]

At least the PM had enough respect to immediately recognize what was up and gave dude immediate acknowledgement

[ikhwanwahab]

wife: who was on the grass this time honey?
guy: that prime minister guy

Title: “Get off my lawn” - comes across in a rude and horrible manor with a hint of anger

What happened: “can you get off my grass please” - Politely asked to step off of his own grass and proceeds to say ‘sorry mate’ to the PM like he knows the lad for years

[royphair]

How fantastic that everyone reacted in a civilised manner

[atrelopian]

Sounds like a man that loves his yard and the presentation it brings

[jerrybumblebottom]

Most Australian thing is when you get to call the prime minister mate.

[Saifullah-lwhe]

The guy must've seen them standing on his lawn on TV

[patilvs]

I can't see a indian to be this bold
Nor
Can i see any indian politician this mature and respectful 😮

[BinaryRex]

I respect this kind of interaction between a citizen and his PM. As an indian, I couldn't imagine this happening in our nation, unfortunately.

He was probably watching them on TV when he realized they're on his grass.
