In a tense interview with Waleed Aly on The Project, Mr Morrison accused the host of being

"very emotional" during an editorial on Saturday, and suggested he said things that were "over
the top".

In those comments on Saturday, Aly cited media reports of a senior Liberal in a Shadow Cabinet
meeting in 2010 suggesting the party use community concerns about Muslims failing to
integrate as a political strategy to gain votes.

"That person is now the most senior politician we have," Aly said.

The Prime Minister's office strongly criticised that report and claimed aspects of it were
defamatory, despite the original journalists sticking by the story.

"You implied that Muslims couldn't feel safe because they had a Prime Minister who somehow
had been prejudiced against them and I don't believe that's true, and I don't think you believe
that's true either," Mr Morrison said.
