Female TV reporter shoots down gibe that she’s dressed like Sunrise’s Cash Cow: ‘Incredible sledge… 10/10’

  • ABC reporter hit back at cruel internet user
  • Troll compared her outfit to Sunrise Cash Cow
  • Dana Morse applauded the gibe on Twitter
  • She appeared on ABC Insiders on Sunday

A quick-witted ABC reporter has been praised online for her clap-back at a troll who compared her outfit to the Sunrise Cash Cow.

Dana Morse, a political reporter based in Melbourne, appeared on the ABC program Insiders hosted on Sunday morning.  

She wore a black-and-white jumpsuit for the occasion – which one Twitter user cruelly compared to the costume worn by Channel Seven‘s animal mascot.

‘Is she wearing a jumpsuit or is the #CashCow on #Insiders now?’ the troll tweeted. 

Morse quickly hit back, turning the attack into a joke by posting a side-by-side comparison of herself and the Cash Cow on Twitter. 

‘Same age. Same super contribution,’ she joked, channeling an iconic superannuation advertisement. ‘Incredible sledge 10/10’.

News.com.au political editor Samantha Maiden, who also appeared on the panel, threw her support behind the ABC reporter on Monday. 

‘The nonsense that gets dished out to women for what they are wearing on Twitter is embarrassing,’ she tweeted. 

‘Dana Morse was terrific on Insiders and she’s well within her rights to tell these morons to get stuffed.’

Twitter users were quick to applaud the unruffled journalist for her cool response to the gibe and said she had been great on the program. 

‘Dana, you were excellent on #insiders, some cracking points of view that even got Samantha Maiden to re-clarify,’ one viewer wrote. 

‘Particularly impressed with your take on the Voice’s incremental value. Goodness sake @abcnews can we have some more younger folk on TV. They are the future!’

‘If that’s all they’ve got it means you’re winning. Best new panelist I’ve seen on insiders since the new host took over,’ another said. 

‘On point and highly articulate, great stuff.’

‘Thought you were great! Always enjoy hearing your opinion,’ another viewer said. 

‘Must admit I didn’t even notice what you or the others were wearing, I don’t watch it for the fashion.’

‘I love it! Wish I could carry off a more bold look, but alas I’m dull and boring. You rocked it!’ another said. 

‘Even more important though, you landed your points perfectly.’

Morse discussed the Voice to Parliament proposal and the repeated interest rate rises with fellow journalists Samantha Maiden and Shane Wright. 

She said the Commonwealth Bank reporting record profits last week had come as their clients ‘buckled’ under unprecedented financial pressures.

‘This is on the government,’ the journalist told Speers. 

‘They need to do more on fiscal policy to make sure it’s not being disproportionately impacted on mortgage holders and then on renters who are getting these interest rate rises passed directly onto them.’

Morse said if the federal government was ‘brave’ enough they would look for long-term strategies for avoiding repeated interest rate rises in the next five to ten years.  

Earlier this month, interest rates rose to 3.35 per cent despite Reserve Bank Governor Phillip Lowe forecasting rates would not rise until 2024. 

Struggling homeowners were enraged to learn Commonwealth Bank had fattened its pockets by 10 per cent after making a record $5.216billion profit.
