Prime Minister Scott Morrison has revealed exactly what happened when he "bulldozed" an under-9s soccer player while campaigning in Tasmania.
Speaking to Triple Hobart's Woody and Tubes on Thursday, the Prime Minister shared he'd spoken to Luca and his mum after the incident.
“I can tell you he came off better than I did!’ he said.
“I sort of lost my footing, and tripped into him, so I was trying to make sure I fell on my back and held little Luca up."
Footage of Wednesday's collision, which is going viral online, showed the Prime Minister running into Under-8s player Luca Fauvette, bringing them both to the ground.
“He’s a great little sport, we had a good chat last night, he told me about the hat trick of goals he’s scored every single game he’s played and the score lines… they sound like a cracking little team,” Morrison added.
