Are we really ‘all in this together’, Prime Minister?
When unveiling JobKeeper last year Scott Morrison said it was only fair that everyone got the same level of support, but it has not turned out that way.

PM’s culture of creeping secrecy: how a flight to Sydney confirmed his aversion to disclosure
Scott Morrison’s trip to Sydney for Father’s Day was not the problem. The reluctance to disclose it reflects a bigger concern.

David Crowe@CroweDM
Whether the government is spending $88 billion on JobKeeper or negotiating vaccine deals with Pfizer, it recoils from scrutiny.
It behaves as if disclosure is an outrage, when the secrecy is the scandal.

‘So wrong’: Turnbull slams Porter
Former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has lashed Liberal frontbencher Christian Porter’s decision to use a blind trust to pay for his defamation case claiming this was “like saying my legal fees were paid by a guy in a mask who dropped off a chaff bag full of cash.”

Former PM @TurnbullMalcolm on RN right now “this is an affront. I will be staggered if PM allows this to stand. You can’t make anonymous donations to political parties that’s against the law. If he doesn’t know the donor he shouldn’t accept the money. Full stop.” twitter.com/samanthamaiden…
