Scott Morrison has dismissed questions about reports alleging he secretly appointed himself to numerous ministry roles during his time as prime minister, saying he hasn’t “engaged in any day-to-day politics” since losing the May election.
The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, received a briefing from the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet on Monday afternoon after he demanded advice on the legality of the arrangements that reportedly saw Morrison name himself minister for health, finance and resources at stages during his government.
