Source:Governor-General David Hurley's diary makes no mention of the five times he handed extra ministerial powers to then-prime minister Scott Morrison.
Greens senator David Shoebridge said Mr Hurley needed to clarify whether the decision not to disclose the appointments was his or Mr Morrison's. Some inside Labor are mulling whether Mr Hurley needs to go, while Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has kept the focus on his predecessor. Likewise, on 30 March, when Mr Morrison was given power as finance minister, Mr Hurley's diaries don't reference it.
