But this time it's not #ScottyfromMarketing, it's #Scottythesaviour.
The tongue-in-cheek hashtag came about because of the former PM's controversial sermon at Margaret Court's Perth-based Victory Life Centre Pentecostal church on Sunday where he described anxiety as "Satan's Plan" and expressed his distrust of government.
"Do you believe if you believe if you lose an election and God still loves you that He has a plan for you?" he said, pacing side to side at the podium.
"I do. Because I still believe in miracles."
He later went on to say that "we trust in Him. We don't trust in governments, we don't trust in the United Nations, thank goodness. We don't trust in all of things, fine as they might be and as important as the role that they play.
"Believe me, I've worked in it and they are important. But as someone who has been in it, if you put your faith in those things as I have put my faith in the Lord, you are making a mistake.
"They're earthly, they are fallible."
It certainly would have been nice to know that Mr Morrison didn't trust the government before he was elected to lead ours.
A lot of Australians would agree - the government is fallible. But it was Mr Morrison's own leadership that fell under the microscope between 2019 and 2021.
There were allegations of sexual assaults occurring within Parliament House, a lack of focus on climate change and Australia's falling reputation among world leaders.
In fact, according to Roy Morgan, distrust in the government soared in the second half of 2021 - largely due to allegations made against some of the Morrison government's MPs.
In effect, #ScottyfromMarketing sold distrust to churchgoers as 'God's Plan'.
Yet, he once said that God sent him a sign to run for PM.
"The message I got that day was, 'Scott, you've got to run to not grow weary, you've got to walk to not grow faint, you've got to spread your wings like an eagle to soar like an eagle'," he said earlier this year.
So, was 'God's Plan' to allow distrust in the government to grow during your time as its leader?
It's ironic to say the least.
But it wasn't just God whose plan Morrison was touting, he also stated that Satan had a plan as well.
"Anxiety can be overwhelming, it can be debilitating... and it can shut you down," he said.
"When we talk about mental health there are very real causal factors that can relate to this at a clinical level, of course there's biological issues, there's issues about your brain chemistry and all of this.
"That's not really what I am talking about today when it comes to anxiety... I am talking about the every day anxieties that we face.
"We cannot allow these anxieties to deny us - that that's not His plan. That's Satan's plan. That's not His plan - and He has victory over all these things."
IN OTHER NEWS:
The other ironic thing is, as of writing this piece, Satan was also trending on Twitter because of Mr Morrison's speech. And he was trending higher than ScoMo himself.
Despite making it clear that he wasn't talking about diagnosed mental health issues, his message was one that almost trivialises anxiety.
Thousands of Aussies are living with anxiety disorders, and for many these little 'every day anxieties' are debilitating. They are overwhelming. And they are very real.
It's not something that a little bit of faith, hope and fairy dust can fix.
So while his sermon might have thrilled churchgoers, it missed the mark for many Aussies who are making that very loud and clear on social media.
