"Claims Prime Minister Scott Morrison is a liar have been piling up.

From French President Emmanuel Macron, to former Prime Minister Malcolm
Turnbull and most recently, Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce, there have
been high profile accusations Morrison has not been truthful. Some media
outlets have even started a dossier of Morrison’s “lies and falsehoods”.

(Asked last November if he had ever told a lie in public lie, Morrison said, “I
don’t believe so”.)

We are cognitive psychologists who study misinformation. What impact do
politicians’ lies have on voters? What happens when their lies are exposed?"
