"What they didn't know was that Scott Morrison was running a shadow government, a shadow government that was operating in the shadows." Former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull, who was replaced by Morrison in 2018, said tonight the incident was "one of the most appalling things I have ever heard in our federal government".that "the idea that a prime minister would be sworn in to other ministries, secretly, is incredible.
