The attorney general’s report about Scott Morrison being surreptitiously inducted into five ministries during the Covid-19 pandemic will be made public on Tuesday, according to Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. Although it wasn’t implied that Morrison’s actions were illegal, according to PM Albanese, they did raise concerns about democratic norms and balances on authority. “The checks and balances system has a fundamental flaw. How can the minister be held accountable for actions taken if no one knows who they are?” On Monday, Albanese spoke with reporters.

After being briefed on Monday, Albanese said his office had received the advice from the nation’s second-highest law officer and that it will be made public on Tuesday following a meeting of his government’s Cabinet.

As a result of the revelation that Morrison covertly assumed power without informing parliament or his cabinet, he was forced to resign as the leader of the Liberal Party and has since come under fire from both his own party and the Labor administration.

Prior to last week, three ministers were unaware that Morrison shared authority over their respective ministries of home affairs, treasury, and finance. Morrison said that he simply interfered in the resources ministry to stop an offshore gas project.

Albanese hinted at the possibility of a wider investigation on Sunday.

Morrison claimed that the coronavirus epidemic last week was a unique period, and that he covertly took on the ministries because he believed that he alone bore duty for the country.

Instead of a presidential system, Australia has a cabinet-based system that depends on a group of ministers to govern.
