Plagued co-author Geoff Chambers says there was 'probably some justification' for former prime minister Scott Morrison taking on additional portfolios during the pandemic but he probably should've told the Australian people.
He also said Mr Morrison probably should have told his colleagues about the five additional appointments, with the former prime minister 'very apologetic' about the secrecy behind the decision.
'There was a press conference, I think it was around March 18, where he came close to revealing that he had been sworn in as joint health minister,' he told Sky News Australia.
'But even in that press conference, he didn't go as far as saying, 'I am being sworn in as joint minister and these are the reasons why'.'
No justification for Morrison. He self imposed grabbed the ministerial positions without party approval. Just like Anastasia Palaczuk while Premier made herself the Minister for the Olympic Games in Qld. All a grab for power and money. Thieves

@ThistlePox Says:
“Our Democracy” is a sham and has been for many decades. Both parties are pushing a globalist agenda regardless of public opinion.
They govern for their masters and their careers. They allow you “choice” and speech within boundaries defined by them. Media outlets such as this one divert your attention towards petty partisan politics giving you the feeling that you have a team whilst in reality the game is rigged in that it matters not who you vote for, their masters agenda rolls on regardless.

@nicholasszegho6768 Says:
Why would a prime minister do this? Control. Control for who though? For himself, it doesn’t look like it. For the country, definitely not. For a third party perhaps?????????? But which third party???? Russia or China???? Definitely not. Nigeria Iran Bolivia or Cambodia?????? Doesn’t look like. How about America????? BINGO!!!!!! What does Scott Morrison and Bob Hawke appear to have in common????? They’re were both CIA assets.

On 5 December 1972, Whitlam became the first Labor Prime Minister since 1949. He and Deputy Prime Minister Lance Barnard were sworn into all portfolios, Whitlam holding 13 and Barnard 14. It was a mini-ministry that was unique in Australian political history.
@murielwhite9472 Says:
Well done to Peter Dutton for standing up for ScoMo. For heavens sake give the man a break. It was unprecedented times. A global pandemic with no vaccinations in sight and millions of people started dying around the world. Scott Morrison did not break the law as it was stated by the Governor General and apparently he didn't take up the powers. It's a storm in a teacup and Albo should get on with the important stuff that he is supposed to do and stop grandstanding about this.

@stultusvenator3233 Says:
This is CRIMINAL, NO Justification by Murdock press would defend it of course. Morrison out was a bullet dodged, a precursor to authoritarian dictatorship.
He is only sorry he was caught, should resign and a close eye kept on his "inner circle" who helped conceal this, Watch Out for Dutton.

Basically it is a lot like this. I'm in a party, right? I have the right to party. I have a mandate to party... That's fine. I go to the party, I may request songs, I may do whatever I want at the party. Yet, since I've been proved to be dodgy to the bone, I cannot get... the *usual input* that my Party Office entails. I am dodgy, I do lose that privilege. Yes, the privilege of sensitive information. That's it!!! For now.... :)
