A thread on why former Aus PM #ScottMorrison's secret swearing in to multiple ministries.
1 Ministerial responsibility: minister is accountable for ministry & potentially resigns for its mistakes. With 2 ministers, who is responsible? If one is secret, how can he be responsible?
1 Ministerial responsibility: minister is accountable for ministry & potentially resigns for its mistakes. With 2 ministers, who is responsible? If one is secret, how can he be responsible?
2 Checks & balances: if one man holds many portfolios, how can, eg, the finance minister hold the PM to account if necessary - when they are the same person? Too much power in too few hands.
3 Responsible gov. Responsible government makes ministers accountable to Parliament, and ultimately to the people (because Parliament is a democratic branch). If the people don’t know you’re a minister, and neither does parliament, none of that works.
Prime Minister #ScottMorrison has declared that the establishment of a Chinese naval base in the #SolomonIslands would be crossing a "red Line" for Australia. “We won’t be having Chinese military naval bases in our region on our doorstep.” 1/

But how does Morrison's declaration, backed by the US, square with the US-NATO insistence that #Ukraine has an absolute and non-negotiable right to join its military alliance, regardless of Russia's objections? 2/
Morrison considers the Solomon Islands to be on the "doorstep" of Australia. Honiara, the capital of the Islands, is separated from Sydney by 2,858 kilometers of ocean water. That's a pretty big doorstep! 3/ 
@FemInt - there are already significant discrepancies in the kinds of insurance products available (both in terms of options and costs). Brisbane has more options and lower costs than Cairns, folks on some islands have no options at all #GriffithClimateAction #insurance
@FemInt I'm wondering about the responsibility of local governments and planners in this - approving developments in areas that are likely to rapidly become uninsurable? #GriffithClimateAction #COP26
@FemInt Great to be hearing from Lucy Graham from @cafnec, reminding us that this conversation about insurance slides into quick irrelevancy if we stay on the (woefully irresponsible) mitigation pathway we're currently on #GriffithClimateAction #COP26 #ScottMorrison
Is PM Scott Morrison a liar? It's a question that is being asked now on the international stage.
A Crikey investigation reveals the answer is, "yes", the PM is a systemic and unremitting public liar.
And we've got the proof:

Back in May, we published #ScoMosDossier – a list of lies and falsehoods delivered by the prime minister since he took office, on issues of national importance.
Since then, the list has grown.
Here's why we published the list:

Today we have 39 lies and falsehoods – and we'll be adding more later today because these lies just keep coming from Scott Morrison.

The first-ever leaders summit of the #QUAD may be another signal that it's ready for something more formal

@pabsgill Indian Prime Minister #NarendraModi, US President #JoeBiden, Japan’s head #YoshihideSuga and Australia’s #ScottMorrison are set to meet for the first-ever #QUAD leaders’ summit on March 12, albeit virtually.
#Modi, #Biden, #Morrison, and #Suga may meet for the first-ever QUAD leaders’ summit this month

@pabsgill Australian Prime Minister #ScottMorrison has confirmed that it is likely to take place ‘soon’ and that he has already had bilateral discussions with Prime Minister #NarendraModi and Japan’s #YoshihideSuga about the same.
@pabsgill The ‘QUAD’ is a security dialogue between the US, India, Japan and Australia. Till now all stakeholders have asserted that it's nothing more than an informal gathering of allies. But things may be ready to change as the QUAD gets ready to host its first-ever leaders’ summit soon.

Dear Twitter and its resident journalists,
I have a question. Has anyone asked #ScottMorrison how old he thinks the Earth is? It is relevant in relation to his understanding of ecology, geology and the release of greenhouse gases through the burning of fossil fuels.

Morrison's church, Horizon, is a member of the Australian Christian Churches, formerly known as Assemblies of God. It therefore believes in #creationism.

Australia’s fires more than 25 times the size of the California fires & more than 3 times the size of the Amazon fires & still burning out of control... major fires now only an hour’s drive from Sydney.
The world media is not covering the scope of this...

Not too mention Australia's prime minister is on vacation in Hawaii during these fires, and has cut $40 million from Australias fire service budget. Most of our fire service members are volunteers and not being payed. This is not right.
All the fires currently burning are greater in size then the whole country of Denmark and its only getting worse. Remember that Australia summer has only started and so much damage has been done already....

Imagine not being able to take your mum out on Mother's Day or dad on Farther's Day for lunch or dinner because local businesses aren't pre-registered for #CashlessDebitCard #indue
