The Spin

Establishment-critical narrative

There has been no investigation or report indicating that what former Prime Minister Morrison did was illegal or unconstitutional. This motion to censure is PM Albanese's political hit against an opposing politician. The Australian people would much rather see parliament's time and resources used for pressing issues impacting the people and not for political payback.

Sky News

Pro-establishment narrative

Former Prime Minister Morrison's actions were egregious and wrong for the people of Australia, arrogantly sidestepping the procedures of Parliament and treating the public's trust and opinion as an inconvenience. His secretive, Nixon-like power grab was unprecedented and selfish. The Albanese administration is taking action now to guarantee transparency and accountability, and to renew and secure the public's trust in its leaders.
