Yahoo News Homeowner interrupts Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison's press conference telling reporters to get off his lawn
This is the moment Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison was interrupted during a press conference by an annoyed homeowner worried about his front lawn.
The premier had gathered reporters at a New South Wales housing development on Thursday to announce a new residential construction project.
But moments into the briefing a frustrated neighbour came out of his property and demanded everyone get off his new grass.
And the bearded resident, dressed in a hoody and dark jogging bottoms, was not satisfied when Mr Morrison asked reporters to "just move back for a minute".
In footage of the press conference, the man is heard pleading: “Come on..hey guys I have just reseeded that."
After Mr Morrison chivvies the reporters further off the lawn the resident apologises to Mr Morrison, who replies: “It’s all good, thanks.”
It came as Mr Morrison unveiled a new $688 million Government scheme which would see singles and couples receive $25,000 to build or renovate their homes.
Following the press conference the Prime Minister could be heard joking with reporters, adding: "Make sure you get off that bloke's lawn.”
