A hilarious online video game titled ‘Scotty Goes to Centrelink’ has been released in conjunction with Scott Morrison‘s staggering election loss to Anthony Albanese on Saturday.
News of the indie game went viral on the internet after the Liberal Party was soundly defeated, losing several key seats to both Labor and the so-called ‘teal’ independents.
The game sees you play as Scott Morrison as you wander through a nightmarish and sinister-looking city, trying to deliver resumes to acquire welfare.

The description of the game reads: ‘A surreal horror adventure starring Australia’s 30th Prime Minister.’
‘Help a newly unemployed Scott Morrison navigate the hellish welfare system that he helped build.’
At the beginning of the video game, you enter a Centrelink office and speak to a worker about applying for welfare.
‘Hello, my name is Scotty and I’d like my welfare please,’ the character says.
The worker responds: ‘We can’t just give you free money. We have to be sure you’re looking for work’.
The Centrelink employee tells Mr Morrison to drop 20 resumes across the city and then return to the office to receive his first welfare payment.

While delivering CVs, you are chased by several giant Scott Morrison heads chanting, ‘Get off welfare, get into work’
You are sent back onto the street and required to drop the resumes into different wheelie bins that are scattered across the town.
While delivering CVs, the player is chased by several giant disembodied Scott Morrison heads chanting, ‘Get off welfare, get into work’.
If the head makes contact with Scott Morrison, you are automatically sent back to the Centrelink office.
The ending of the game finds Scott Morrison waking up on a tropical island – possibly a nod to his trip to Hawaii in 2019 – discovering that the whole thing was a horrible dream.
