Former Australia cricketer Shane Warne and current limited-overs captain Aaron Finch slammed Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison after his ‘confusing’ national address regarding Coronavirus threat recently. More than 405,000 people have been infected by the virus while in excess of 15,000 people have lost their lives worldwide and these figures keep growing with every passing day.
In his address to the people of Australia, PM Morrison reportedly said contradictory things like schools will remain open but funerals can’t have a gathering of more than 10 people.
Warne took to social media to call out the PM and he wrote: “Listening to the PM like everyone here in Australia and what I understood was, ‘It’s essential, unless it’s not. Then it’s essentially not essential. I can’t be clearer’. Plus people can buy a new shirt at a shopping centre? WTF? PM just had a shocker. Surely should be in lockdown now.”
