Scott Morrison swears during live TV slip up: 'That will get a run'

Prime Minister Scott Morrison had a little slip of the tongue on Sunday morning, accidentally swearing during a press conference.

The PM's speech went viral when announcing a ‘city-shaping’ project in South Australia, declaring it "sh**ty-shaping" instead.

"This brings to completion the full financial commitment of the Commonwealth government to this sh*tty, city, sh*t, city-shaping," he said.

However, he quickly recovered, laughing off the mistake by saying "you’ve gotta be careful with that" and moving on with the rest of his announcements.

"Sure that'll get a run," he joked.

Mr Morrison was in Adelaide for the press conference with South Australia’s Premier Steven Marshall, announcing an additional $2.26 billion-dollar funding boost for the Torrens to Darlington road project in South Australia.

"He’s finally right about something — this will indeed get a run," another wrote.
