I’ve appointed myself manager at work and admiral of the Navy.

I'm not defending Morrison, I just don't get the angst.

I get why Ministers would feel pissed off that the boss got sworn in to get their ministerial powers without telling them, but why would Albo be so worked up?
Because he needs to get everyone worked up over something, must have something to hide or he wants people to forget the Greens caved to him on the first bill out of the gate.

It’s one of those things people just get upset about because they follow politics like football teams.

It’s clear Albo will be trying to throw as much dirt as they can now they’ve got the keys, when Dans sins catch up to him I imagine the shredders in Spring St will be working overtime :wink:

Putting aside the politics - as to which I don’t give a toss - it was an unacceptable interference with the doctrines of ministerial accountability and parliamentary sovereignty. It might not have been harmful in this case but it simply must not and cannot happen. The Governor-General should not have accepted the appointments absent a guarantee of public notification. The strange thing about it is that I can’t see any particular reason why secrecy was apt, still less necessary. It was just a misconceived approach.

The hypocrisy of the left…
2019-ScoMo can’t delegate responsibility he has to do everything himself
2022- ScoMo can’t interfere in other portfolios, he has to trust his Ministers…

Don't forget that the CHO had the power at the time to make the rules, but wasn't allowed to. Dan made the rules and the CHO signed them off, with zero transparency.

The fetish for the ex PM continues.

According to sources, Brett Rutten has been shattered to find he's out of a job. Clarkson is also having to revisit his options as news emerged that Scomo installed himself as Essendon Coach 6 months ago
