Calls for former Prime Minister Scott Morrison to resign from parliament are growing, following revelations he secretly appointed himself to five additional portfolios between March 2020 and May 2021. Do you think he should resign? 9News STORY:
During this period, Morrison - now the sitting member for Cook - was operating as minister of health, finance, home affairs, treasury and industry, science, energy and resources.But Uhlmann says "it's up to Scott Morrison whether he stays or whether he goes"."At this stage, although we will get more legal advice from the Prime Minister, no laws were broken.
Former Home Affairs minister Karen Andrews is one of the figures calling for Morrison to resign, while former Prime Minister John Howard has backed Morrison - advocating for him to keep his seat."The problem he has got is with his colleagues. Both the present ones in Parliament, and former ones in cabinet, and ones like Josh Frydenberg, who didn't know his portfolio of Treasury was being shadowed by the Prime Minister and he was terribly loyal.
