Hilarious photographs of Scott Morrison wearing an ill-fitting retro Cronulla Sharks footy shirt and a bizarre red garment have emerged as the Australian Prime Minister tours Papua New Guinea.
Mr Morrison looked at home in front of the grill in Port Moresby on Sunday night as he served up sausages to the leaders of Papua New Guinea and Nauru among other dignitaries.
The dinner marked the end of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting – a gathering of 21 nations circling the Pacific including China, the United States, and Russia.

At the barbecue, Mr Morrison announced that students from Pacific islands would be given extra scholarships to study in Australia as part of an effort to build stronger links with the region.
Politicians, business and sports people from Pacific nations will also get access to a ‘Pacific Australia Card’ that will make it easier for them to travel to Australia.
Mr Morrison has also pledged more aid and infrastructure funding for the Pacific, in a bid to counter China’s rising influence in the region.
Australia is playing on its strong cultural links with the Pacific, including a new Church Partnerships Program to encourage churches to work together, as well as the scholarships for students to study in Australian secondary schools.
