Documents released under FOI laws reveal reasons why former prime minister sought treasury and home affairs portfolios

Documents released under FOI laws show the treasury swearing-in related to the Foreign Investment Review Board .The role of the Firb is to examine proposed investments in Australia that are subject to the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act – and to make recommendations to the treasurer on the proposals.

Morrison told parliament on 30 November that the reason he had taken on the treasury role “as a dormant redundancy for decisions that were not subject to cabinet oversight, was to be able to take swift action, if necessary, in the national interest in a time when Australia’s interests were under constant threat”.

A report by former high court judge Virginia Bell triggered changes to the transparency of ministerial appointments and led to Morrison becoming the first former prime minister to be censured by parliament.

Morrison is a stain on our country…we need to cut funding to corporations and invest back into public assets. Morrison should be in jail for political malpractice

Scott may be a cooker?

And yet he is worried his testimony in Robodebt will place 'his reputation on the line'. Yep, Scott Morrison has proven he has the dark triad, no doubt in my mind. He ticks every single box.

This guy has seriously betrayed the public trust, not acted in the interests of the nation, and needs to be held accountable - in my opinion.

and the morrison plot thickens

What in hell was he thinking? He can't do that sort of work as he pleases. At best he'd only cherry pick the ones he was interested in or had someone approach him about. Did he take any such actions or just stated roles?
