On the eve of Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison's election campaign, he faced an angry pensioner while visiting a popular pub in Newcastle.
In videos shared on Twitter, the angry man gets right in Morrison's face sharing his frustration about pensions.
The fiery exchange took place on Wednesday night at the popular pub Edgeworth Tavern.
"A pensioner is allowed to burn a couple of hundred dollars before it affects his pension," the man yelled while pointing his finger in the Prime Minister's face.
"You treat a disability pensioner, that’s worked all his life, paid his taxes, now he’s getting taxed again."
It's unclear how long the exchange lasts, but in videos shared on Twitter, it seems Morrison doesn't get a word in.
The man tries to raise another issue before Morrison attempts to hand the man and his anger on to what seems to be a member of his staff.
"Jack is going to sit down with you," Morrison said,
Jack asks the man if he wanted to have a conversation with him to talk through some of the issues the man has raised.
"What! Yeah! Ay! You better do f***ing something," the man screams in the Prime Minister's face.
The man goes on to yell "I don't care" while the Prime Minister moves away from the large scrum of media who recorded the exchange unfold.
"I'm sick of your bullshit," the man yells again while Jack ushers him away.
The Guardian reports Morrison addressed the exchange the following morning at a press conference.
"My staff met with him also, after I carefully listened to what he had to say and respectfully listened to what he had to say. He was not asked to leave or anything like that. I can understand that he was very upset about some very significant issues that happened his life."
The exchange comes after 14-year-old journalist Leonardo Puglisi grilled the Prime Minister over his "history of lies".
Morrison agreed to an interview with the year 9 student who focused on the Prime Minister's credibility.
"You don't think Australians are interested in whether their leader tells the truth or not," the teen asks.
"I do tell the truth," Morrison replied.
Morrison said claims he lied on multiple occasions were driven by the Labor Party and came up because of "a lot of people that like to throw stones".
Morrison though maintained his position "Australians know that I'm upfront with them".
Morrison finally conceded saying politicians "occasionally" get the odd fact wrong or some figures wrong and added he could be taken out of context.
But Morrison hasn't been the only one faced with angry voters, Opposition Labor leader Anthony Albanese's press conference was hijacked by a Perth resident posing to ask a "tough question".
"I am not a media person, I am just local resident," the man said. "I've got a tough question, are you up for it?"
Albanese appeared surprised by the man's offer "absolutely up for it" but that "we can't really do that," pointing to media protocol.
"The media won't mind at all," the man replied.
Albanese said he would be happy to speak to the man after the press conference.
