After days of turmoil, uncertainty and potato jokes we have a new Prime Minister-elect — Scott Morrison. We’re not quite sure how we got here, but okay.
So how are people online feeling about our the new leader, who based off historical evidence is bound to stay in power for at least a couple of weeks?
Angry? Relieved that it isn’t Dutton? Booking their flights to New Zealand? Let’s see what the memes have to say.
The time is 12:50pm on August 24, 2018 and the Prime Minister-designate of Australia is Scott Morrison.

Serious question, HOW IS IT ONLY 2PM? This Friday has been going for years.

Scott Morrison just become our PM.
For many of us this is a moment of relief that Peter Dutton’s leadership ambitions have been thwarted. But we can’t forget Morrison’s conservative history as Immigration Minister and Treasurer. pic.twitter.com/5G2OCRHDvJ
