Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Morrison had attacked the Westminster system of government by secretly appointing himself to five portfolios including home affairs, treasury, health, finance and resources between 2020 and 2021. “As prime minister, only I could really understand the weight of responsibility that was on my shoulders and on no-one else,” he added.
Morrison rejected this, and said the emergency powers were put in place by a democratically elected prime minister and according to law.
