Scott Morrison's 'shameful' final act as prime minister

Former Prime Minister Scott Morrison stunned Australians on election day by using the interception of a boatload of asylum seekers as a reason to vote for the Coalition. We all know how the election ended up – the Morrison government was booted from office.

A new report has found Morrison and his government pressured public servants on election day, and blatantly politicised an issue, Morrison himself had argued for years, was not to be politicised. Sean Kelly is a columnist for the Sydney Morning Herald, a former Rudd adviser and the author of The Game, a critical biography about Scott Morrison.

In this episode of the Briefing, we take a deep dive into Scott Morrison’s ‘shameful’ final act as Prime Minister.
