This article is in regard to Scott Morrisons recent scandal – him appointing himself to numerous ministerial portfolios without the publics knowledge.
The use of government inquires ensures that any concern to the public is dealt with in a logical and easy process. The purpose of all inquiries is to establish the facts, find out exactly what happened and why, as well as finding out who may be accountable to then try to learn the lessons that will prevent a recurrence of the events.
The importance and significance of government inquiries is seen in the recent scandal that former Prime Minister Scott Morrison is currently involved in. It was recently discovered that Scott Morrison has secretly appointed himself to 5 ministerial portfolios. In doing this it is claimed that Scott Morrison deceived the Australian public as he didn’t tell anyone about appointing himself to the several portfolios. He claimed that he didn’t disclose the information as he thought it was the best operation for the government during the Covid-19 pandemic which was a situation he said was the worst crisis since the second world war.
This incident has raised several questions about the former prime ministers conduct within parliament. The Governor-general acted on the advice of the government on the day that Scott Morrison claimed the portfolios in the way they went about the situation in not letting cabinet or the general public aware of the change.
A governmental inquiry is extremely useful in this instance as through the investigations that will be undertaken, the questions that need to be answered will be answered with as much detail as possible. The inquiry will ensure that this situation doesn’t happen again as it is something that has caused problems to arise within the government and has also affected Scott Morrisons personal life as his family is being questioned by reporters despite the fact that they would not have anything to do with Scott Morrisons secret appointment to the portfolios.
