A report into Scott Morrison's secret ministries found he sought advice on adding a sixth portfolio to the list.

In a lengthy Facebook post, Mr Morrison said he was "pleased to assist the inquiry" through his lawyers and he noted the report reaffirmed that his actions were "not found to be unlawful".

The details of the PEP11 case is being examined in the federal court, where Asset Energy is challenging Mr Morrison's decision to not grant a licence on offshore petroleum exploration off the NSW coast between Newcastle and Wollongong.between March 2020 and May 2021, including Health, Finance, Home Affairs, Treasury, and Industry, Science and Energy and Resources.

She added that Mr Morrison's evidence to the inquiry that he believed the appointments would be disclosed on the government gazette was "difficult to reconcile" with his decision not to tell his ministerial colleagues. In his response on Friday, Mr Morrison said he believed the actions would be published in the Government Gazette and that he had not issued any instructions preventing that from happening.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said whether Mr Morrison owed Mr Frydenberg an apology was "of no interest" to him.Why did Scott Morrison take on extra cabinet roles?He said the government would move to adopt all six report recommendations in advice to cabinet next week.

Scumbag

There's a simple solution and that's to enforce public disclosure of all new minister's and their newly acquired ministries through the GG's office after being officially sworn in

All objective evidence points to this PM being a most unfortunate form of scum. ScottMorrisonMP, we’re better off as a nation when you are silent, out of the public eye, and not making decisions or statements on our behalf! 🤐

Missled parliament how many times? How many decisions could be challenged? How much has he cost the Australian people?

Is five ... not enough? Also having done 5 already, surely he knows he can just add as many as he wants. This is so bizarre.

This dirty, sly autocratic mofo. WTF ; un-Australian

Was his salary increased with the added portfolios?

'The reason for having two missile keys is so that no one man may arm the missiles.'

Diana5662996273 He was so corrupt

The fact he’s doubling down about “ necessary for the pandemic” despite the Bell report saying it was NOT the case is trumpism gaslighting 101. What a fool

Scotty says his decision’s were made at a difficult time. Was that the same difficult time as the State Premier’s ? If so should they be given slack.

3+3 = Power in God's image. 3+2 = Weakness and secrecy in human flesh.

Because that ministry has a lot to do with the Covid response - more likely it was to keep his mates happy.

Hidden government. Wouldn't trust Scott Morrison as far as I could throw him and in my opinion completely untrustworthy.

Mr. Morrison said he believed the actions would be published in the Government Gazette. He did it in secret, no one knew about it. So how could he believe it would be published?

naveenjrazik Megalomaniac

It's utterly ridiculous that the PM could just secretly grab multiple portfolios with zero accountability or transparency or even the knowledge of the ministers whose portfolio he glommed onto. What an absolutely pathetic state of affairs.

Should be locked up. Not fit for office.

Scott Morrison ‘quite clearly’ misled the Australian people: AlbanesePrime Minister Anthony Albanese says he thinks former prime minister Scott Morrison “quite clearly” misled the parliament and the Australian people “every single day” as acting Prime Minister. “He’s misled the parliament every single day in which he stood there,” said Mr Albanese. “When questions were asked about issues that directly were impacted, including the PEP11 project, we asked questions about that in the parliament, “We were entitled to know.” This is hilarious news 🤦 Did he mention his promise to lower the electricity bills? Without a single doubt Albo! You are talking about a 5 Minister fraud! Conmo couldn’t do his own job so incredibly takes on 5 more!!! You’re no better. Where are the promises you made prior to the election?

Scott Morrison responds to ministerial inquiryScott Morrison has welcomed the recommendations from the inquiry looking into the secret portfolios the former prime minister swore himself into. Yes they were unnecessary, because no one died in the ministries he said he would cover. If someone had, they would've been replaced quickly, but it was a 'you never know' situation. Morrison was sensible, but the ALP just want to destroy the LNP, so they can destroy Australia. Labor trying to deflect from what Labor are doing to our once great country!
