Australia’s youngest MP has slammed the country’s national TV network for Photoshopping her breasts to look larger and altering her outfit to show off her stomach in an advert for the news

Animal Justice Party MP Georgie Purcell, 31, lashed out at the network via X (formerly Twitter) for using a photo that was Photoshopped to make her breasts look bigger. 

Australia

Ms Purcell was featured in the Nine News bulletin after she publicly slammed Premier Jacinta Allan’s decision not to ban duck shooting in Victoria. 

In her post, the heavily tattooed politician shared the image from the segment alongside the original photo, which was taken last year. 

‘I endured a lot yesterday. But having my body and outfit photoshopped by a media outlet was not on my bingo card,’ she wrote on Tuesday morning. 

‘Note the enlarged boobs and outfit to be made more revealing. Can’t imagine this happening to a male MP. What gives?’ 

Australia

The image used by Nine also showed Ms Purcell wearing a crop top that showed her bare midriff. 

Director of 9News Melbourne Hugh Nailon issued a grovelling apology to Ms Purcell on Tuesday after Daily Mail Australia approached the network for comment.

‘I would like to sincerely apologise to Georgie Purcell for a graphic error that occurred in last night’s bulletin,’ Mr Nailon’s statement read. 

‘Our graphics department sourced an online image of Georgie to use in our story on duck hunting. As is common practice, the image was resized to fit our specs. During that process, the automation by Photoshop created an image that was not consistent with the original.

‘This did not meet the high editorial standards we have and for that we apologise to Ms. Purcell unreservedly.’

Ms Purcell is the youngest woman in any Australian parliament and the second youngest ever to be elected to Victoria’s Legislative Council.
