Mr Morrison was watching the Kangaroos’ rugby league friendly against Fiji when footage captured him downing a few beers.
He was widely criticised on social media and labelled a ‘bogan’, but others came to his defence, insisting people would react differently if it was Bob Hawke.
Even Mr Hawke’s daughter inserted herself in the debate.
“Comparing them is like chalk and cheese, to put it mildly,” Sue Pieters-Hawke tweeted.
