Someone Erected A Plaque Outside Engadine McDonald’s To Pay Tribute To Scott Morrison

It seems like Scott Morrison will never live down a rumour about an incident in a McDonald's nearly 25 years ago.

Someone has decided to erect a plaque outside the Engadine Macca's in Sydney's south to pay tribute to the Prime Minister.

Posted on Reddit, the small memorial plaque says: "It was at this spot in the evening of 20th September 1997 that Scott Morrison defecated in his pants after the Cronulla Sharks lost the Super League Grand Final to the Brisbane Broncos 26-8."

It's worth noting this is 100 per cent a rumour that hasn't been verified by anyone, but it doesn't take away from the absolutely savage dig at the PM, and people have gone wild for it on social media.

To make it even more hilarious is that it's been placed on a bin outside the Macca's, seemingly to avoid detection from staff.

The plaque essentially explains the long running rumour (again, it's totally a rumour) about the Prime Minister: that he allegedly shat his pants in the McDonald's on the night his beloved NRL team lost the Grand Final.

It's something that has dogged the country's leader for years and developed in ferocity when he assumed the top job.

But Australians actually were treated to an explanation from the man himself two years ago - even though it didn't give us any answers.

As politicians gathered together in Canberra for the Midwinter Ball, Mr Morrison gave a speech that some thought was going to be typically Prime Ministerial.

However, he chucked in a few jokes here and then and then gave the crowd this little nugget: "What really happened at the Engadine McDonald's in 1997? It will remain the mystery of the ages."

It certainly wasn't the answer people were hoping for, but it was something.

One of the reasons maybe why Mr Morrison didn't go into the rumour further was because that year's Midwinter Ball was the first one where speeches were on the record, meaning anything that was said could be plastered across news media forever.

It also wasn't the only mention of Engadine during that evening, with Opposition leader Anthony Albanese saying the Sutherland Shire stretches 'from the golden sands of Cronulla to the golden arches of Engadine'.

Interestingly, this whole thing could just be a massive wind up and not be true at all. It could be rolled out at whim in order to distract from something else happening right under our noses and we'd all lap it up.

Guess we'll never know.
