The only problem here ...well not the only one...let's say one of several , is Covid had nothing to do with it other than providing his smoke screen.
Were that it was just about being a backup should the PROPER minister be unavailable due to the lurgy he should have made this plain and clear to EVERYONE. Did he ?? hmmmm
Such was not the case. Scotty from Marketing was running his own rogue game. Scotty from Ministries'r'mine has form for dodgy mischievousness. He could probably write a book on it....possibly THE book
Whilst you and the M-Man might think he's walking scott free I'm here to inform you i suspect he's going down, down .....deeper than a Coles commercial
I actually have a gut feeling this may turn into the biggest can of worms that the Aussie Political Landscape has ever seen.
Morrison has NO friends ( not now ) Anyone and everyone with a minutest modicum of intelligence, or self preservation, will distance themselves at least 3 ten foot poles away.
It must always be remembered that Politics...is well...Political. By that..it's always game on. Whenever chances come to put your enemy to the sword....they are invariably taken.. Elbow doesn't even need to do the heavy lifting. The legal proceedings brought aboutby our own Advent Folk will open the door.
Scotty from Misleading Advertising was so sure he'd been too clever by half forgot to pickup all the breadcrumbs. This guy's CV reads like a Runaway Train..... and we all know how they end.
Scotty is going down... Hurley is for the high jump... Anyone who abetted this Canberran Clown from Cook would better check their parliamentary frequent flyers...for they're also going on a holiday.
This isn't just about a brazely inept course of action to win seats, it's actually about corruption.
This'll go off bigger than Vesuvius.
This will end up recasting the Conservative Political World here. A lot to play out yet... a new dawn of sorts to come as that side of the room has a clearout.
Gough might be having a chuckle....a GG is getting their comeuppance.
To answer the O.P , and this is the crux, it may well prove it was not legal.
And that is our payday.
