But you still don't know why he did it. It was to maintain control over ASIO, AFP and FIRB after Peter Dutton was moved to the defence portfolio. And to understand why he needed that control involved China.
OK Karen 🙄
What a dog
When we break laws, mandates and directions we get fined or jailed. Yet no there are no consequences for politicians doing things like this. He should be fired from the party and the GG should resign.

Scott Morrison facing censure push by MPsFormer prime minister Scott Morrison is likely to be censured by parliament after a scathing inquiry into the secret ministries saga. They should be able to expel him from Parliament and cancel his life long PM's pension that he can get while still working full time..... Condemning the behaviour via censure is a slap on the wrist...nothing more...nothing less. For the welfare of the Australian people? Right. 😆
