Mr Morrison was on the campaign trail ahead of the 2022 Australian federal election Saturday.

During a visit to Devonport City Soccer Club in Tasmania, he crashed into under-8s player Luca Fauvette, knocking the youngster to the ground.

The self-proclaimed “bulldozer” smashed into the child, during Wednesday’s match.

The youngster reportedly got up and was able to continue playing.
