Scott Morrison and the Secret Ministries

Posted on: Fri 19 Aug 2022

It’s the scandal that keeps on growing; it has been revealed that during Scott Morrison’s time as Prime Minister he had secretly been sworn in to five additional ministerial positions by the Governor-General, including the health, finance, resources, treasury, and home affairs portfolios.

Not only was the general public unaware, many of the other ministers, including some whose positions Morrison had assigned himself to, were unaware.

Constitutional Law Professor at Monash University, Luke Beck, speaks with Breakfast’s Tom Mann to shed some light on the unorthodox and controversial move.
