Scott Morrison has become the first ex-prime minister to be censured by federal parliament after a motion against him passed 86 votes to 50 today.
Leader of the House Tony Burke launched the motion and described Morrison's actions during the former Coalition government as "eroding public trust". "His cabinet was not told. The department secretaries were not told. The parliament was not told, and through the parliament, the Australian people were not told.
Morrison made a strong defence of taking up extra portfolios during the pandemic and slammed the censure motion as politically motivated. Morrison also insisted any suggestion he served as minister of the portfolios he was secretly sworn into was "false".
Deserved to be censured. Wrong doing. Should resign with no pension

Scott Morrison censured for secret ministries as motion passes parliamentThe former prime minister refused to apologise for secretly taking over five key cabinet posts, saying criticisms of his “entirely necessary” decisions are being made in the “calm of hindsight”. How poignant that this creep should represent an electorate named after a pox ridden paedophile pimp who spread syphilis across the Pacific and was summarily executed for his crimes, in a no consent, no treaties, bogus sovereignty, thieving, pretend Parliament. Not unexpected from someone who had to take empathy training, which clearly didn’t work. He appears to lack any insight. he should be forced to go with no pension. He's doing the Liberal party no favours by staying.

Scott Morrison becomes first former Australian prime minister to be censured by parliamentFormer PM claims he would have answered truthfully if asked about any of the secret ministries he held and repeated past defence of arrangements Bit rich to point fingers at them for wasting people's time. It would seem that only Bridget Archer who, of all the Libs and Nats MPs, understands and values government accountability and the pillars of Australian democratic government. It shows how posturing by the Libs and Nats is more about them and not about the Australian people.
