Scott Morrison has defended himself and his legacy in parliament following a censure motion from the federal government.

Labor claims the former prime minister eroded trust in government when he secretly appointed himself to five portfolios during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I think it’s a political stunt… one, what’s he still doing in parliament if he’s got enough money, and two I don’t understand what Albanese and all that are trying to prove with all of this,” Millsy asked Karl on 6PR Breakfast.

Morrison this morning argued it was a necessary safety net but said any suggestion he served as minister of the portfolios in that time is “false”.

“It is strange to describe such actions as a power grab, as they were never exercised or even used to exercise influence over the relevant ministers,” he said

“They were simply a dormant redundancy.”

He accused the federal government of “political intimidation” and using its majority to “impose its retribution on a political opponent”.
