Push for federal ICAC to investigate Morrison appointments

Former prime minister Scott Morrison's secret ministerial appointments have raised questions about whether his actions will fall under the scope of the promised federal integrity body.Independent MPs say the former prime minister's actions should be investigated by a federal integrity body

"Why did he think it was so important to do it, but not important enough to share it with anyone else?Independent MP Helen Haines sought to start a debate on her federal ICAC bill last year. "I don't know whether this would end up in an integrity commission, but it sure as heck seems very, very dodgy and most questionable."Centre for Public Integrity chair Anthony Whealy QC said while highly unusual, it was unlikely the actions would be investigated by a federal integrity body.

"The powers that be in the attorney-general's department will be looking at this and there will be some debate about whether this is the sort of thing that should be looked at by an ICAC," he said. "Convention in this country is that the identity of ministers is published in the Gazette, that the identity of ministers is known to Parliament."In a statement, Governor-General David Hurley confirmed he signed off on the appointments, but Dr Beck said he still had further questions to answer."There's a need, I think, for the Governor-General to make a more fulsome statement explaining what happened and when, not just vague comments about ordinary processes of government.

ICAC. Indifferent Committee Against Cockblocking.

If you had been on the ball, ABC, this scandal would have seen daylight two years earlier!

The problem now for those who are nervous about a retrospective ICAC, is that we clearly need to inspect what happened here retrospectively

“Governor-General David Hurley confirmed he signed off on the appointments” of Scott Morrison’s ministerial appointments. General Hurley definitely should not have allowed himself to be railroaded into signing off on these appointments. Hid did not do his job.

YAWN

Australia’s National ICAC has been arranged on departure of previous PM’s doubledipping, no, pentadipping of auspol Dept’s!

If that rubbish is what a federal ICAC would spend it’s time on, then we are probably better off without it and leave real corruption to the police.

Wow, they fit the whole Morrison ministry in the one photo?

The one question which hasn't been asked, is spud ( PeterDutton_MP ) the leader of the opposition? Or is ScottMorrisonMP the real leader from the shadows? auspol

Ugh. The tax funded Australian marxist propaganda machine rolls on..

The ABC, naturally, doing the pushing.

CorruptNSW Yes

Question: As Morrison secretly took over 4 different Portfolios, was he paid extra for each one?

The ABC has found its very own Russiagate nothingburger to push, in order to distract from the already-failing Albrandonese.

. Watch our 'free press' report the sht out something legal - ie the self-appointments - & then ignore the real stories. Follow the money. The Liberal Party has become a cesspit of corruption. Australia has too. Who benefitted financially from ScoMo's ministerial decisions? .

So when the APS wrote to the Minister, was he on the letterheads? Im baffled at how this wasn’t picked up…auspol

AlboMP hasn’t set up his ICAC yet - he’s been too busy taking credit for the achievements of the previous government in a string of press events. Presumably at some future date he can claim credit for actually fulfilling his pre election promises but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

LEGAL though

Push for federal ICAC to investigate the ABC!

We don't have a Federal ICAC. ABC is as good as saying no one will do anything about Morrison's behavior in government.

Morrison is up to no good everything he touched.

Evil mentally unbalanced Patricia Karvelis rudely cut off PM AlboMP when he was about to explain reasoning how ministers are accountable. She is biased and has her own anti christ LGBTQI agenda Get rid of her and get someone who is balanced and representative of heterosexuals.

Not only appointments……

The dissonance between the twitter headline and the actual article headline here is dizzying.

Push to investigate scott for all his roles Shame on you all in the media

It's okay with the queens representative, that should 'Dismiss' all the fuss.

What the hell were Labor doing in the sidelines. All that time to have their icac ready but no they did nothing. Both sides are corrupt as each other.

The last few days are merely a taster for what is to come as far as the previous government is concerned.

Stay on topic you garbage lefty media! Albo is a flop goes on holidays has done nothing on cost of living!!!! That is what is important to the Australian people! Garbage absolutely garbage journalists you mob are!!

Morrison's secret ministry, Albo the sky is falling; Hmm? People don’t give a s% if Morrison was a control freak WB: Albo what are you doing about the cost of living? To get elected you said “Only Labor can lower the cost of living” PS: Look over here not over there

The Anglo community's thirst for power and money still goes on since 1788!

So the Teals have allowed people to vote for a Conservative party not a bunch of anarchists.

If ScottMorrisonMP shit himself at Engadine Maccas, he’s gunna need a colostomy bag when the federal ICAC starts asking him questions.

et al

And he wanted his own form of a ICAC.
