Peter Dutton has denounced the inquiry into Scott Morrison’s secret ministries as a “witch-hunt” as fresh concerns are raised about the former prime minister’s power to allocate grants when he held extra portfolios.
After a search of program guidelines, Guardian Australia can reveal Morrison had the power to give grants through the home affairs department’s $187m safer communities program.to administer the department on 6 May 2021, qualifying him as one of the ministers able to make grants.finding Morrison’s appointments were legal but “fundamentally undermined” responsible government.
“We’ve said we’d support a process to ensure it can’t happen again, we didn’t agree with the decision that Scott had made,” he told 2GB Radio. Dutton said Albanese clearly saw “political advantage” in an inquiry targeted at Morrison, citing the fact the actions of Labor premiers in the pandemic would not be in its terms of reference.Albanese has said the inquiry will consider “who knew what and when in [Morrison’s] office and the department of prime minister and cabinet” and the “legal implications behind decisions that were made”.
Who cares how Dutton feels he had his chance and blew it
Spud calls Robodebt RC a witch hunt while victims and families of victims who died seem to see it as a search for truth accountability and perhaps justice Libs also appear worried about what else may be disclosed to the public from Morrison Ministries investigation
Torturing poor people and refugees is Duttons hobby and nobody wants thier hobby messed with.
Witch-hunt? That's what Trump said.
Thank u felicitydesomervillelegend
Yeah right - from Mr 17%. 😏
If he floats, he’s a witch! If he sinks,,,,,he’s still a witch! Lets see if the prick burns.
Was it a witch hunt when his government wasted time and money on the Royal Commissions into the Pink Bats and the unions Proving his hypocrisy again
Is albo going back to investigate the Rudd roofing insulation debacle, Poorly thought out NDIS by Labor as well as NBN of just doing LNP
PD calling SM a witch is very insulting to witches. Lets call it an out-of-control-twat-hunt.
Morrison and his collaborators including Dutton are a malignant threat to the well-being of the Australian psyche, and not the innocent victims of a vendetta against their unjust and disreputable actions while in a position of power.
Those who are the most guilty, protest their innocence the loudest.
If they have done nothing wrong they don’t need to worry 😉
no witch hunts. Morrison trashed and democratic instiutions and conventions and fucked the lives of many Australians with Robodebt. needs to be held to account.. and measure put in place for this not to happen again.
If Dutton (& his ilk) self identify as witches, who are we to argue? But if a government program was so flawed as to be labelled illegal and resulted in the suicide of numerous innocent individuals, then I for one am pleased it will finally be investigated.
Pot. Kettle. Black. What is it when you persecute the vulnerable then? Fair?
Given that Warlock Peter Dutton and his cronies have been practising the political “ dark arts” they have much to fear from a witch hunt!
When the first concerns about Robodebt were raised, something should have been done right then. I wasn't affected but neglecting to address widespread reports of inaccuracies and error was disgraceful in my opinion.
How can one be a leader of anything and not want to investigate what went wrong, why they sux with the indigenous situation we have as they don't want to investigate back at what went wrong there for repeated traumas in history cause you can't fix what you don't understand
Obviously Spud has never been pursued over a Robo debt! auspol
We can all see the gaggle of LNP witches, no need to hunt for them!
Peter Dutton thinks Scott Morrison & Stuart Robert are witches? The people & the Government want to understand why more than 2000 people got so depressed by a system, causing them to take their own lives. A system introduced & operated by these two witches, apparently.
What's wrong with a witch hunt if you find a witch?
Oh Spud. How you’d love it if it could all just vanish in a puff of smoke. Not going to though.
The ILLEGAL Robodebt Policy IMPLEMENTED BY MorrisonDeathCult MUST BE INVESTIGATED 2,000+ Auspol People PERSECUTED BY Morrison s Policy TO THEIR SUICIDE DEATHS IS NOT “LNP Government - Duty of Care” toward AU People” LNP ARE GUILTY OF DEATH WITH UNDUE CARE Auspol
Well, looks like they've exposed a naughty warlock! Magically made himself Mr. Multiminister!!!
this is what a witch hunt looks like Mr Dutton
Peter Dutton doesn’t have anything for us.
wendyleslie121 This meaning I prefer to like… Witch hunt meaning: ‘Holding a total ARSEWIPE & other ARSEWIPES to account!
Dutton equals hypocrisy
To those Ministers that will be hounded by the 'witch Hunt' ..'with great power comes great responsibility', Prepare to be punished!!!!
Lets have things like the Queensland Police Force of the 80's hey Pete? Ask no questions, find no problems.
Jan 6 investigation US is a witch-hunt too?
PeterDutton_MP Remember the LNP insisted on a Royal Commission for the four fatalities from insulation batts. (Dec 2013+). Time for some ?Royal Commission reality.
Herr Boofhead is having a laugh
Of course he does. He was in the ministry that was corrupt.
GILLARD LABOR GOVT POLICY
Oh God..another Inquiry..this one of the previously legally settled Robodebt..from the Labor Government..also known as 'The Government for Not Being the Other Guy'..seriously..while people are struggling..
Smile__Petal lookin` a tad worried just a tad
Robodebt was a disgrace. You can't go to a Magistrate demanding recovery of a debt without providing evidence validating a lawful debt. Otherwise, it would be out of control. Porter, a lawyer, oversaw it as Minister for nearly 2 years and would have known.
Talking points….no substance! RobodebtRC Robodebt auspol
SO?
I don’t recall PeterDutton_MP saying the same thing about Royal Commission into the Home Insulation Program!
Voldemort worried we’ll find out he’s involved?
Comparing seeking justice for the low waged and poor by white entitled 'in God I trust' male power mongers to centuries long misogynistic femicide by white male 'in God I trust' powermongers is ultimate gaslighting.
LethalBias CFMEU mattpeacock
If a crooked mung bean like Pol Potato criticises it, I would suggest an inquiry and a royal commission would be appropriate.
They love to call things 'witch hunts' and ask everyone to 'move on', as if those words answer all questions and erase all misdeeds. Sorry, they are just empty words and don't get you out of jail free. You were told there would be repercussions and (hopefully) consequences.
Of course spud would say that LNPNeverAgain LNPCorruptionParty
Channelling trump are you spud And that's not working out too well for him, is it
Oh boy spud, two words, pink batts
Alot to unpack just by the headline lol.
Sounds like one D Trump.
Morrison was the architect, and Dutton one of many LNP enforcers and both trying hard to deflect blame which is theirs and theirs alone
An attack on people who have done nothing wrong. People are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. The burden of proof being on the prosecutor. There was not process for arbitration. People committed suicide. Someone has to be held to account & be punished.
I wondered when they were going to start screaming 'Witch hunt'. News cycle isn't moving on fast enough for them & the public won't look away.
Let’s Go !
Dutton, witch-hunt! Does he really believe his own bullshit?
WOW. Poor ole PeterDutton_MP You must be shaking in your boots….
Might get his own investigation if he keeps sticking his neck out.
Of course he does boofhead is trying to run cover …
Well if Dutton decries these investigations he supports the actions that instigated the need for them. Australia needs to remember, should he make it to a Federal election
Of course he does
Notorious coven of witches complain about witch-hunt
From the party that gave us Pink Batts Royal Commission and a Royal Commission on Julia Gillard's house renovations before she entered Parliament? Buckle up, Sunshine.
😆
