Grahame Morris departs WPP political relations firm following election
Mumbrella understands political advisor at WPP government relations firm Barton Deakin, Grahame Morris parted ways with the company after internal disputes were reported in relation to his comments regarding trans people in the lead-up to the federal election.
An initial report in April stated that Morris was under pressure at WPP, with his position under review after making comments regarding the trans community on ABC News, and The Project on Network Ten. A follow-up report quoted an internal email that stated that Barton Deakin’s views “did not align” with those of Morris, despite no further action taken at the time.

Good on HB crew for standing up to dinosaurs.
His dismissal has more to do with the Libs losing the election, and therefore any leverage he has, than his comments.
