Scott Morrison has demanded an official apology from China for the posting of an “offensive” and “outrageous” and “deplorable” fake image of an Australian soldier slitting the throat of an Afghan child.

The Prime Minister called an unscheduled press conference this afternoon to respond to the image which was posted on an official Chinese Government account over alleged “war crimes” in Afghanistan.

“It is utterly outrageous and it cannot be justified on any basis,’’ he said.

“The Chinese Government should be utterly ashamed of this post. It diminishes them.”

Australia will also demand an official apology for the image and has requested that social media giant Twitter remove the post.

“It is a false image and terrible slur,” he said.

“The only thing that has brought shame today is this appalling post by the Chinese Government.”
