It was refuted one months ago, but a false rumour about Hillsong and a Liberal MP continues to circulate on Twitter.
The allegation goes like this: Minister for International Development and the Pacific Alex Hawke’s in-laws were on the Ruby Princess cruise ship – and that is the reason the passengers on that ill-fated voyage to New Zealand were “fast-tracked” and allowed to disembark in Sydney.
A further embellishment sometimes found in tweets suggests they were connected to the Hillsong Colour Conference because, allegedly, they attended it.
It’s perfectly delicious for people who don’t like Hillsong, or the Morrison Government – or both. The only problem is that it isn’t true.
