As the election campaign reaches its crucial final days, Scott Morrison is set to intensify his efforts to secure another term in office, supported closely by his wife, Jenny Morrison.
Jenny Morrison, a mother of two, will accompany the Prime Minister at photo opportunities, press conferences, and public meet-and-greet events, marking what could potentially be her husband’s final days in his current position.
Throughout the campaign, Mrs. Morrison has maintained a relatively low profile, joining the Prime Minister for events and announcements only once or twice a week.
In the dramatic closing week of the election campaign, the Prime Minister will have the support and presence of his wife, Jenny Morrison.
That said, her presence in front of the cameras has significantly increased in this last week, reflecting the heightened intensity of the election race.
Mrs Morrison joined her husband while he campaigned in Darwin on Tuesday as he fights for the two Labor-held seats of Solomon and Lingiari in the Northern Territory.
While in the electorate of Lingiari, the couple visited Alpha Homes display home in Darwin.
A press conference was later held where Mr Morrison spruiked the government’s policy allowing first home buyers to use 40 per cent of their superannuation to help fund a deposit for a property.
During his time in the Top End, the prime minister also indicated that a proposed commercial port backed by the government would be used by the military following the messy handling of the Port of Darwin’s lease to a Chinese company.
