Former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull says he is 'astonished' the Governor-General was willing to go along with Scott Morrison's secretive appointment to multiple portfolios within his own cabinet.

Former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull says he is "astonished" the Governor-General was willing to go along with Scott Morrison's secretive appointment to multiple portfolios within his own cabinet.

Mr Turnbull says the idea that a prime minister "would be sworn in to other ministries secretly is incredible". "Questions around appointments of this nature are a matter for the government of the day and the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet," the statement read.

JamesEltonPym The damaged ego of this has been is astonishing.

JamesEltonPym At least Morrison worked unlike pathetic Albomoronic

JamesEltonPym Shut up MT.

JamesEltonPym I'm astonished that Turncoat considers himself relevant and that the left-wing ABC is funded by the tax payer.

JamesEltonPym Did you know? WhoKnew? Shame Media Joke auspol

JamesEltonPym What is sinister about it

JamesEltonPym But who the fark gives a fark about what Turdbull thinks?

JamesEltonPym Keep in mind Turnbull was the PM who appointed Christian Porter as AG. He was also not smart enough to see Morrison as a threat. Too busy worrying about Dutton.

Therese_Rein JamesEltonPym Didn’t the GG get 18million from Morrison for his charity that didn’t have an office or staff 🤷‍♀️

JamesEltonPym John Kerr demanded another 5 year term to collude with Fraser and the LNP to sack the Whitlam Govt, how much did Hurley want?

JamesEltonPym TurdCoat the enemy within Australia

wendyleslie121 JamesEltonPym $18 million have anything to do with the GG being 'willing to go along'. My world-weary scepticism sadly, once again flattens any naivety‼️

wendyleslie121 JamesEltonPym Hurley has to go. We can’t have a GG whose integrity is in question.

JamesEltonPym Who intimidates the GG? Neither Skumo,/Albo were ever in charge. Marionettes. Who pulls strings?

JamesEltonPym Such typical behaviour from Turnbull, he has never accepted that Australia was utterly over him, and he never will...we can expect this ranting to continue each chance he gets, I fear he and Rudd are from the same DNA...neither enjoyed the massive jolt to the ego when kicked out.

JamesEltonPym

JamesEltonPym According to Professor Anne Twomey, Constitutional Law Expert on Australian Law, in the Event of a 100 year Pandemic & if all the correct papers signed by GG, he has every right under Westminster Law & Australian Constitution in the circumstances of 2020/21, now what ABC 🤔

JamesEltonPym The grudge is now 4 years old. Next year it will be able to go to school.

JamesEltonPym

JamesEltonPym For a guy that did everything but work, who buckpassed everything, find a bit suss the motivation behind taking on these portfolios

JamesEltonPym Barking TurnbullMalcolm …Bark Bark Bark. The whole world knows his hatred for ScottMorrisonMP Anytime Anywhere 🌏 Malcolm Turnbull will carry his unhealthy grudge even when he is being lowered into the ground ⚰️ SadSad behaviour for anyone.

JamesEltonPym why would anyone care what this complete flog thinks about anything. He is a just a bad penny

JamesEltonPym hang on a minute In Victoria Dan Andrews disbanded the parliament and bought all decision making back to himself why wasnt that pursued more media garbage

JamesEltonPym Maybe the bitter former PM is unaware of Section 64 of the constitution.

JamesEltonPym Malcolm, flicked by his own, & will never get over it. Revenge is revenge, but TurnbullMalcolm adds so much hate & malicious intent to his paybacks. Tells us much more of his lack of decency and character than anything else.

JamesEltonPym Go away you has been Turnbull. You are an embarrassment to yourself..

Qldaah JamesEltonPym Of course he is 😬

JamesEltonPym This is “Trumpesque”. Morrison needs to fully explain.

JamesEltonPym “Such a move was without precedent, let alone being done in secret…’’ Benson Plagued. ScottMorrisonMP, ChristianPorter & GG DavidHurley colluded together to secretly swear himself into cabinet portfolios not once, but three times! LNPCorruptionParty

JamesEltonPym Not sure I have heard any ABC comperes previously referring to the former PM as plain old Morrison during his tenure ... tonight we hear Albanese this, Albanese that ... sure, Turnbull can do as he pleases but Ferguson seemed to exhibit little respect for the incumbent PM.

Who will you trot out next…….Kevin Rudd of course

Very bitter man is Malcolm.

JamesEltonPym Please help me to escape from here. It is like Kafka. I haven't spoken to a human in 2.7 years. I bought the rope today but I still have a sliver of hope. Kind regards, Alan Smith +6281959169871 akssmith24gmail.com SOS

The Governor General is in on it as well? No wonder Morrison was against any type of corruption committee being put in place. It would have been HIM sitting in the chair. What else has this weird smirking ex-LNP frontman been up to?

JamesEltonPym Didn't Labor icon Gough Whitlam invent this chess move?

JamesEltonPym The current PM may decide to sack the GG for his secretive actions. Unless the GG decides to sack the PM first. Oh wait. We’ve seen it all before. Ho ho, ho he!

JamesEltonPym You would think that Malcolm Turnbull would know to get promoted to General you have to says lots of yes sirs anything you say sir.

Prudent amid a pandemic.

Rubbish …this just a distraction tactic to avert attention away from the failing useless Albanese Govt

Sinister? What, as in Putin sinister? Xi Jinping sinister? Get a grip Mal, and pull your head in!

Sack the Governor General!

Sinister. Nothing compared to Dictator Dan lying at his bungled hotel inquiry to avoid the very laws he brought in and how he had VicPol and worksafe cover it up for him when hundreds died. That is next level corruption.

See here I am On the news again There I am Up on frot page Here I go PM' star again There I go Turnbull, Malcolm

And he didn’t want an ICAC…. Who knew

Mr Sinister senses evil, but he was worse.

JamesEltonPym Remember that photo. Morrison stabbed Malcolm in the back shortly after.

You guys are both really bloody lucky that all of that shit was completely insurmountable to pull off on your own. Every man and his dog helped you poor bastards out and you know it.

Waiting for AFP searching Morrison's house for secret documents...

JamesEltonPym the GG tried to google the rules, but Mal’s NBN Broadband InternOt wasn’t working

Imagine my surprise - turdbull says something negative about Scott Morrison! Gee that was deep investigation by theirABC

Haha, Turnbull just couldn’t get over himself

JamesEltonPym This should be no surprise. ScuMo did what he wanted over the last three or so years. He ran riot and destroyed this country. Showed how much of a train wreck our so called democracy is. And Macolm is just as bad just speaks with Obama's calming style, folks...

I honestly don't know how Turnbull worked with that particular bunch of LNP conspirators. Like Malcolm Fraser, he became a much better person after quitting politics and dropping the party chains.

Malcolm Who?

rub call

Malcolm is everything he said Tony Abbott was , walking through the halls like an insipid ghost

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 😂😂
