ScoMo exercises to Aussie hit song, Working Class Man, during visit to WA
Working Class Man #WorkingClassMan
Forget swimming, barre classes or exercise bikes, Scott Morrison has shaken up his exercise routine during a trip to Western Australia.
The Prime Minister was spotted getting down low to Jimmy Barnes’ Aussie classic Working Class Man with workers at the Christmas Creek mine site in the Pilbara.
Wearing a high-vis jacket and flanked by Fortescue Metals boss Andrew Forrest, Mr Morrison joined workers doing their morning stretches.

“It’s a bit different to a barre class,” Mr Morrison was overheard saying as he did squats and arm stretches.
Later on Friday morning, Mr Morrison recounted rubbing shoulders with the workers during a speech at the Karratha Business Breakfast.
“I can tell you, I’ve got red earth on my boots today having been out at Fortescue, the Christmas Creek mine, and spending some time there with the many workers out there,” Mr Morrison said.
“This is a living community with great resources, with a vision for where it wants to be in the future, for families to come and live and raise their kids and enjoy the best of life here in WA.”

During an infamous late night press conference about COVID-19 restrictions, Mr Morrison struggled to pronounce the barre, calling it “barray”.
As lockdowns eased in Melbourne, he later went and took a barre class.
After an overseas trip to meet with Japan’s new Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, Mr Morrison’s personal photographer snapped him pedalling on an exercise bike during his two-week stint in quarantine.
But it’s not the first time the self-described daggy dad has enjoyed a fitting soundtrack to his media appearances.
Mr Morrison in February showed his maverick spirit during a defence announcement near Newcastle, walking in with Kenny Loggins’ 80s smash hit Danger Zone – from the Top Gun soundtrack – blaring in the background.
