NOPTA's Role, page-30

"{160. On 19 April 2021, PM&C provided the PMO with a “draft” brief to Mr Morrison with respect
to the PEP-11 applications. The brief stated:
We have relied on the Department of Industry, Science and Resources’ [sic] analysis
to prepare this brief. We do not have specific expertise in administering the Act.
This may also contribute to the legal risks associated with you making the decision
as responsible Commonwealth Minister."

161. Around this time but before 21 April 2021, Mr McCormack, then Deputy Prime Minister
and Leader of the Federal Parliamentary Nationals, recalled being present at a discussion
between Mr Morrison and Mr Pitt where they disagreed about PEP-11, and Mr Morrison
made clear that he could make the decision saying “I can make that call because I’m the
Prime Minister and I can be the signatory on that particular decision”. This meeting ended
with Mr Morrison and Mr Pitt agreeing to disagree."
