About this episode
A prime minister will never again be able to secretly appoint themselves to act in multiple ministries.
The practice will be made unlawful, with new rules to make appointments public – even Scott Morrison agrees with that.
He said as much, when he rose in front of the parliament to explain his actions. But the speech he delivered was hardly an admission of guilt.
Today, columnist for The Saturday Paper Paul Bongiorno on what Scott Morrison did when faced with the chance to explain himself.
