Scott Morrison says he was just having a bit of “fun” at his own expense when he created memes on social media riffing on his secret ministries scandal, as momentum builds for the former prime minister to face a censure motion when parliament returns next month.
Scott Morrison poking fun at himself over the various memes that have been created due to the secret portfolio saga.A spokesperson for Morrison said the member for Cook “has always had a good sense of humour” and confirmed the Facebook photoshop efforts showing the former PM as a member of comedy team Sooshi Mango were his own handiwork.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese chided his predecessor on morning television for making light of the matter, as Morrison bantered with businesses and groups posting photos to the social media site with his face photoshopped in, introducing him as the newest, and typically self-appointed, member of the team.
At an extraordinary hour-long press conference earlier in the week, Morrison sought to justify his decision to assume secret co-control of five ministries – health, finance, home affairs, treasury, and industry, science, energy and resources – during 2020 and 2021 without the knowledge of most of his senior ministers.But his claim the actions were necessary in the face of the unprecedented crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic has been roundly rejected, including by most of his Coalition colleagues.
