As expected, former PM Scott Morrison was censured in Parliament yesterday, with MPs voting to formally condemn his decision to secretly appoint himself to 5 ministries during the COVID pandemic. It came after former High Court Justice Virginia Bell released a report into Morrison’s multiple ministries last Friday. Alongside an earlier investigation by the Solicitor-General, Bell’s report found Morrison’s actions were legal but “undermined” the government. For his part, Morrison refused to apologise but did admit that he gave “insufficient consideration” to appointing himself to the roles. It’s prompted the Albanese Government to introduce legislation to prevent anything similar from happening again… Yesterday, the Parliament also approved the establishment of a National Anti-Corruption Commission, with Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus labelling it “a historic day”. To summarise: once it’s up and running, it will have powers to investigate corruption in the public sector.
