"Secret" will appoint his former minister of Australia, Morrison, will be investigated

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, August 16th. On the 15th, the Australian media exposed the former Prime Minister Scott Morrison during his tenure, and appointed himself as a minister of multiple ministries without the members of the cabinet. The new Prime Minister Anthony Albanis criticized Morrison's operation "shadow government" later that day and announced that the current government will investigate relevant reports on relevant reports.

Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the Australian News reported that Morrison "secrets" in 2020 appointed himself as the Minister of Health, and co -managed to manage health affairs with the then Minister of Health Graig Humin. He also appointed himself as the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Resources, and co -leadership of the then Minister of Finance Marseille Corman and then the Minister of Resource Minister Kisi Pitt. Corman even did not know it.

It is reported that the reason why Morrison and Hunter were the Minister of Health was to avoid the concentration of power on Hunter during the emergency of the new crown epidemic and could not cope with the epidemic. Former Minister of Resources Pitt told the media reporter that he felt "worried" when he learned that Morrison and him as the Minister of Resources in 2021, which was "uncommon" in this situation.

According to the previous process, the Governor of Australia will hold a formal and public inauguration ceremony for the appointed minister. However, Morrison appointed himself as a minister of the three departments and did not hold any relevant inauguration ceremony.

Governor David Helley's spokesman told Reuters reporters in an email that in accordance with the Constitution, Morrison's appointment of his appointment was "valid" and did not have to hold an inauguration ceremony. It is recommended whether the relevant appointment is determined by the government.

Morrison did not respond to the above reports on the 15th, but all sectors of Australia expressed strong doubts about the transparency of the Morrison government.

Australian Prime Minister Albanis said that some key cabinet members did not know about related appointments, which was "unprecedented" in this situation. He told the media reporter: "For the appointment of the minister, Australians were covered in the drum."

Albanis also said that he had sought legal suggestions from the procuratorate, and one of the next investigations would be whether Morrison had made other secret appointments.

The former Prime Minister of the Liberal Party, Malcolm Turnbull, also criticized Morrison, saying that Morrison was "incredible" in the way Morrison was "secretly doing things in the way of public and cabinet members."

The National Party, which is an alliance with the Liberal Party led by Morrison, also questioned related appointments. David Littier, who was the head of the National Party and the Minister of Agriculture in the Morrison government, said he was "disappointed" by the content of the report. It is not clear whether the incident will have an impact on the Liberal Party and the National Party Alliance.

Australia held a parliamentary election in May this year. The Liberal Party and the National Party's Governance Alliance lost to the opposition Labor Party at the time.

Agence France -Presse quoted the constitutional expert Anne Tumi that Morrison's approach was "weird" and may bring "legal challenges" to some policies made by the former government. "If they do everything they do, you will feel that these people have problems. This is completely inappropriate." (Zheng Haoning)
