“The Governor-General, following normal process and acting on the advice of the government of the day, appointed former Prime Minister Morrison to administer portfolios other than the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet,” the statement read.“It is not uncommon for Ministers to be appointed to administer departments other than their portfolio responsibility.
“Questions around appointments of this nature are a matter for the government of the day and the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet. Similarly, the decision whether to publicise appointments to administer additional portfolios is a matter for the government of the day.” Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has slammed Mr Morrison’s decision to take on extra portfolios while in office, labelling the move a “centralisation of power”.
It is the secrecy of these appointments that is most worrying! auspol austalianconstitution
Good forethought in case any of the ministers contracted covid & became unavailable, ministerial decisions could still proceed. 😉
Who cares he’s gone move on
64 does say that including the positions be not more than 3 months,but,, chapter 1 Sect 2 says the Governor General shall be appointed by the Queen. Question is was the GG appointed by the Queen?
THIS LIBERAL PM WHO STUFFED AUSTRALIA IN HIS 9 YEARS WAS LOVED AND TALKED UP 24/7 BY SKYNEWS LNP HOST PAUL MURRAY. WHAT A PATHETIC JOKE... THANK GOD LABOR WON ELECTION.
Libs gonna lib
Why not tell us though, no one seemed to know.
This behaviour demonstrates what a narcissistic control freak Morrison is. No trust in the Minister's he appointed for port folios so appoints himself to override them. No transparency as to hide how his Captains picks weren't up to the task. Voters chose to toss Trump clone out.
How did we not see it 😂😂
Gough and Lance Barnard were the entire Cabinet for 3 months in 1972/73. 🤷♂️
So Lachlan Murdoch who runs a 24 hour, international lie factory Fox & Sky News (that no one watches) with a sideline in hatred, threatens legal action claiming he has been lied about. Fucking rich & a joke

It follows reports Mr Morrison secretively swore himself into two ministerial roles in March 2020. Mr Clennell said Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has “real concerns” this breaches the Westminster system in terms of its openness and transparency. And if people knew Libs would've got smashed in the election even worse than what happened. That action by Morrison is pure and total abuse of power, and is corrupt. Hence need for a federal ICAC Dictator Scott
