Australian prime minister accidentally drops the c-bomb on live TV

We can’t believe we just saw this.

Australian prime minister Scott Morrison accidentally dropped the c-bomb during a live TV address to the country, explaining the government’s revised definition of close contacts amid the Omicron COVID-19 variant outbreak.

If you skip to 5:55 in the video from ABC News above, the PM refers to “a close c**tact” instead, and it’s blatantly unmissable. Pedestrian’s Courtney Fry has a perfect clip of the moment on Twitter.

Australians, there’s important info in there, of course. But enjoy Morrison’s complete and utter fuck-up while you’re at it.
