Scott Morrison has dismissed the suggestion he didn't have the courage to tell his frontbench colleagues he had secretly taken their jobs.
"I think there was a great risk that in the midst of that crisis those powers could be misinterpreted and misunderstood, which would have caused unnecessary angst in the middle of a pandemic," he said. "I did what I thought was necessary in the national interests to ensure the government continued to perform well."
He said he had apologised for the offence caused to the ministers, but did not concede he had done anything wrong. "I regret that offence and I apologise for that offence, but I am pleased that through the course of the pandemic my confidence was in them to keep just doing their job," Morrison said.
