A new book detailing all the lies and falsehoods told by Prime Minister Scott Morrison has been released.

Lies and Falsehoods: The Morrison Government is the first in The Crikey Read series, and in it author Bernard Keane claims the lies told by the current Prime Minister is above and beyond that told by any other Australian Prime Minister in history.

“For whatever reason, I think Scott Morrison and his team have decided that there’s no price to pay for being caught out in a political lie,” Mr Keane told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings.

“We’ve tried to be actually pretty generous to Scott Morrison. We’ve left out a lot of things that by-and-large we expect from politicians, politics is synonymous with lying … we expect a certain extent of hype, and exaggeration, and misrepresentation, we’ve left out all that.

“We’ve only really aimed at things where it’s quite clear Scott Morrison should have known were untrue, or he did know were untrue, mainly in relation to his own statements and his own conduct, that’s where I think he really is different to the traditional standard of lying that we’re used to from our political leaders.”
