Scott Morrison has revealed he turns to his wife Jenny for advice as he campaigns to keep his job. The Prime Minister was 12 when he met his other half through their church. With the Coalition struggling in the opinion polls, Mr Morrison confirmed his wife of almost 30 years is his best political adviser.

Jen's a great sounding board because she's not in politics, has never been in politics, she's not connected to it, she doesn't think like a politician,' he told The Australian on Wednesday as he campaigned in Tasmania. 'I didn't meet her in politics. Her and her family, our friends, they're all outside of politics so I have a great window back into the real world every day.' Griffith University politics lecturer Paul Williams, however, doubted Mrs Morrison would offer her husband a fresh political perspective. 'Given that they do move in the same circles, I would be very surprised if she didn't share almost 100 per cent of her husband's ideological beliefs,' Dr Williams told Daily Mail Australia on Thursday. 'So in terms of bringing a new perspective, I would be very surprised if there was one.' Dr Williams said Opposition Leader Bill Shorten's wife Chloe, who he married a decade ago, was more likely to offer more independent political advice, as a woman who previously worked as a journalist and a corporate affairs adviser. With the Coalition struggling in the opinion polls, Mr Morrison confirmed his wife of almost 30 years is his best adviser (pictured is the Morrison family with daughters Abbey and Lily) Mr Morrison described his wife as a 'great sounding board' because because she's not in politics and has never been in politics 'Given that's Bill Shorten's second marriage, obviously later in life, Chloe would probably bring to a relationship more divergent views,' he said. 'She's had a whole life away from Bill.' Dr Williams said Chloe Shorten, whose mother Dame Quentin Bryce was governor-general, was more likely to be outspoken in her views behind the scenes. 'They might be rarefied, having a very high-profile mother,' he said. Mr Shorten's who was previously married to Deborah Beale, the daughter of a federal Liberal MP. Mr Morrison and Jenny share a kiss while celebrating Winx's final race at Royal Randwick on April 13 Griffith University political lecturer Paul Williams said Opposition Leader Bill Shorten's wife Chloe, who he married a decade ago, was more likely to offer more independent political advice Should he win the May 18 election, Mr Shorten would be the first Australian prime minister to have been divorced and remarried. He would have something in common with U.S. President Donald Trump and one of his Republican predecessors Ronald Reagan. Dr Paul Williams says Australian voters would be a 'little concerned' about a PM's wife giving political advice Australian voters, however, would balk at the idea of a prime minister's wife acting like a powerful American first lady in the style of Nancy Reagan, who consulted astrologers and strongly influenced her husband on policies, ranging from building relations with Soviet Russia to belatedly tackling the AIDS crisis during the 1980s. 'Many voters, you might even say most voters, would find it quite homely and reassuring and acceptable for prime ministers to talk to their spouses about politics,' Dr Williams said. 'But the electorate would then become a little concerned if they felt that advice was disproportionate because prime minister's spouses are not elected.' Unlike the United States, the wives of the national leader don't have an official office and don't traditionally address campaign rallies, as Michelle Obama did in 2016.
