Expansion to Scott Morrison about his weird qanon link

Qanon link
Scott Morrison is long time friend with Matt Stewart (born 1968), whose wife is on Morrison's staff. Stewart is notably a follower of the QAnon conspiracy theory and tweets from the account called BurnedSpy34.

During an apology speech in October 2018 to survivors of child sexual abuse, Morrison used the oddly specific term "ritual sex abuse". The term usually refers to satanic ritual abuse. Morrison claims that he heard the term from abuse survivors, but according to Stewart he influenced Morrison to use the term.
