Leigh Sales has admitted feeling 'stabbed in the heart' by all of the Australian prime ministers she has interviewed as she debunked a popular 'myth' about Scott Morrison.
The outgoing ABC star, whose 12 year run as 7.30 host ends next week, said she felt an 'odd fondness' for all the eight PMs she's interviewed - whether Liberal or Labor leaders.
Writing in Nine newspapers, Sales was keen to dispel myth that Mr Morrison dodged her interview requests and instead that he 'never shied away' from a tough interview.
She wished him luck said she plans to catch up with him 'when the dust settles'.
