For two years, Scott Morrison secretly gave himself Ministerial portfolios.
He didn’t tell the Australian public. He didn’t even tell his own colleagues.
It was a disgraceful attack on responsible government – you can’t hold a Minister to account if you don’t even know who the Minister is.
Today the Federal Parliament voted to censure Scott Morrison: to place on the record the seriousness of his actions, and to protect our democracy by making clear it must never happen again.
Tasmanian Liberal MP Bridget Archer voted for the motion, but not a single Queensland LNP Member had the guts to do the right thing.
At this year’s election, the Australian people voted to bring transparency, trust and decency back to our national government.
Today the Queensland LNP showed they still haven’t got the message.
