  • A photo of Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison purports to show him standing alone during the 2019 G7 Leaders’ Summit in France. The image has been photoshopped; it originated as a satirical post but has been shared out of context. The image, for example here on Facebook on August 26, 2019, purports to show Morrison standing alone and at a considerable distance away from a other world leaders at the G7 meeting in the French city of Biarritz. The misleading post's caption says: When a picture paints a thousand words. The Hillsong & Big Coal bought FREAK, who hates the needy & humanity in general. How low have we sunk, Australia?
