What this has done is expose the huge flaws in our constitution and system of government.

Some people, for years, have discussed the ever growing power of the Executive and the diminishing role of the parliament on how the government operates.

Add to this the setup where the GG almost always acts on the advice of the prime minister?

Add to this the setup where the prime minster can appoint or sack at will any minister or cabinet member? Thus making them all beholden to 1 person?

Add to this the apparent secrecy in which these co-ministerial appointments were made?

Add to this the problem that apparently our constitution allows for 2 (or more?) Concurrently serving ministers for the same portfolio?

Add to this the problem that there appears to be no constitutional barrier to how many portfolios or ministerial positions 1 person can hold concurrently?

And any fair minded person should be able to begin to understand that our current system of government is antiquated, not fit for purpose and is wide open to exploitation as listed above.

I can only hope and pray that this matter doesn't fade away like all the others do, otherwise these awful precedents will almost certainly occur again.

Next time we might find that by the time someone works out what has happened, it might be too late to reverse it!
