Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says it turns out Scott Morrison was the “world’s first stealth bulldozer”.
Mr Albanese’s remarks come after it was revealed the former prime minister had appointed himself to several portfolios during his time in office.
“He told us he was a bulldozer, and his Coalition colleagues just shrugged their shoulders and cheered him on, not in one election but in two elections,” Mr Albanese said.“The former government, Scott Morrison and others who were involved in this, deliberately undermined those checks and balances that are so important and essential for our democracy.”
