As bushfires raged through across the country last year, the prime minister’s ill-timed Hawaiian sojourn drew criticism from many.

Sydney-based clothing brand MR KOYA joined the heap with the tongue-in-cheek ‘Mahalo ScoMo’ design, a Hawaiian-themed shirt emblazoned with the ‘missing’ prime minister’s face.

The shirts captured the imagination of thousands of Australians and raised $35,891 for the New South Wales Rural Fire Service.

Now, the shirt will last forever as a piece of ‘ephemera’ at the National Library of Australia.

The National Ephemera Collection contains objects of cultural and political significance created for particular events such as federal elections or natural disasters.

“We had a customer who wanted to wear it at his citizenship ceremony, but it wasn’t quite ready in time,” MR KOYA co-founder Yema Akbar said.

“We weren’t sure how the shirts would be received, but we’ve been thrilled with the overwhelming reaction.”

“The support received has been truly inspirational and is a testament to the larrikin spirit of Australians, digging deep to have a cheeky laugh and support a fantastic cause.”

The shirt is now part of the special collection and will soon be available to view in the Library’s Special Collections Reading Room.
