Saturday 14 May 2022 04:37 AM Scott Morrison doubles down revealing the term Jenny uses for his 'bulldozer' ... trends now
Prime Minister Scott Morrison says his leadership style will become more empathetic as he again addressed concerns about his character, and revealed how his wife Jenny refers to his of doing things.
On Friday, Mr Morrison said he had a tendency to be a 'bulldozer' but excused himself, arguing Australia needed the 'strength and resilience' of the approach to get through the turbulent years of the pandemic but said now the style had to change.
Speaking on Saturday from the Victorian seat of Deakin, held by the Liberals on a 4.8 per cent margin, the Prime Minister revealed his wife Jenny had a particular term for his work methods.

Addressing voter concerns that he has lost touch with the Australian public, Mr Morrison claimed he had been locked up in Canberra but said he is now hearing voters.
'I have been listening to people. I have been listening carefully to people and over the course of this campaign it has been the opportunity to do that – frankly over the course of the last two years we have been all locked up in Canberra.'
