Former Australian prime minister Scott Morrison has revealed “the personal toll” he carried while leading the nation through the COVID pandemic, says Sky News political reporter Cam Reddin.
Mr Reddin said this comes as Mr Morrison has “got a new book coming out”.
“Not your traditional political memoir, much more a reflection on his faith and how his faith, his Christian faith, shaped him as a leader throughout the time in public life including when he was prime Minister,” Mr Reddin told Sky News host Erin Molan.
“As a part of that today and the Australian newspaper revealing some of the personal toll that he carried while leading the nation through the COVID pandemic – noting that he had suffered from anxiety, speaking quite openly about his own battle with the black dog, that he sought professional help, ultimately was prescribed medication to deal with that.

“It is a reminder that it doesn’t matter if you’re a miner, a baker, a teacher or the prime minister you can still have personal deep mental health challenges.”
