An Australian coup d'état - Scott Morrison again.
In another example, former Prime Minister Morrison and those around him found and exploited vulnerabilities in our democratic systems.
Scott Morrison has revealed that he faced mental health challenges during his prime ministership, suffering from anxiety that became so acute he received medication for it.
Mr Morrison says that without the medication he would have fallen into a serious depression and that his anxiety during much of his time in The Lodge was “debilitating and agonising”.
Ok. Here are some questions for Nero and his entourage.
Who knew he was on medication? Was the Governor General advised? Was the Deputy Prime Minister advised? Was the Cabinet advised? Was the Leader of the Opposition advised?
Was there consideration of Morrison stepping aside?
Was there a discussion about disclosing this to the public? If not, why not?
Was Morrison on medication when he appointed himself to multiple ministries?
This is not about the man, this is about the office. The most powerful office in the land. More if the Prime Minister granted himself multiple ministries.
This was not a private matter for the Prime Minister and his doctor. The Prime Minister is not a regular citizen.
