Governor-General responds to reports Morrison took on extra portfoliosThe Office of the Official Secretary to the Governor-General has released a statement addressing the reports former prime minister Scott Morrison secretly swore himself into three ministerial positions while in government. “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. “The appointments were made consistently with section 64 of the Constitution. “It is not uncommon for Ministers to be appointed to administer departments other than their portfolio responsibility. These appointments do not require a swearing-in ceremony – the Governor-General signs an administrative instrument on the advice of the Prime Minister. “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”. 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 Gough and Lance Barnard were the entire Cabinet for 3 months in 1972/73. 🤷♂️ How did we not see it 😂😂

Very sneaky man and a traitor to Australian citizens. He gave our freedom away. That's Conservative Christians for you. Pretend they're morally superior but when you scratch the surface they just smell really bad.

It follows reports Mr Morrison secretively swore himself into two ministerial roles in March 2020.

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
