Yet, the article itself tells us that no laws were broken. I don't know enough about Australian Politics or these involved , but this rather just seems like a political stunt by current government to discredit the former. Wager good money it comes to nothing.

Scotty from Marketing could do more than just, you know.... Marketing?

Who knew?

"This isn't some, you know, local footy club," 

A) Pardon the Yankee ignorance but what is a footy club? Are they all local or is there a regional or perhaps an international chapter? B) How does one join? (Asking for a "friend"...)

But joking, and the rule of law aside, it would seem rather important that the public know whom is doing what in an elected government.

First rule of political, regime change is to project your own profile positively.

Reviewing your predecessor and their actions is among the lazy things to do.

Amateur.

Why be 'Prime Minister' when you can be 'Supreme Leader'?

Democratic leaders secretly desire the supreme authority of authoritarian leaders.

No "laws broken " but the Westminster system was trampled.

Former PM {Liberal } Turnball thinks it was wrong, current {Liberal } members think it was wrong.

Doesnt seem like an ALP stunt to investigate this [ as described above] to me.

But Scotty is guided by divine principles that may not manifest themselves to ordinary citizens.

You could say taking on the portfolio of health could be something done in a time of "crisis " {covid }

BUT , he took on two other portfolios as well {mining for example } , he DID NOT disclose these arrangements to his Cabinet or the Australian people and I note that Australia has been in "crisis " during various World Wars, conflicts and depression without the need for such arrangements by a PM.

Professor of Australian Constitutional Law, Anne Twomey , is scathing of Morrison's actions in an opinion piece in other media.
