Scummo Conspiracy Theory 1.0

As Australians and some others here will know the Story of our former Prime Minister Scott Morrison (recently removed from office in landslide election he was at least partly responsible for) who secretly had himself appointed to no less than five other senior ministerial roles including Treasurer, Finance Minister, Health minister and Home Affairs minster. These appointments were in addition to the other men appointed to the tasks and kept secret from not only the Australian public. But in all but one case, the men who had the jobs officially.
To put this in perspective for the Americans. This is like the President declaring himself to be the Attorney General, the head of Homeland Security, Secretary for Health, and the Treasury and not even telling the people he could overrule them or do stuff without telling them.
Everyone caught up?
So Scummo is out of office now and just a lowly back bencher with a nice cushy job for three years. But all this has come out and people want to know why he did it.. Its seems its not actually illegal, because no one ever considerd anyone would do it.. But why? So far the excuses are pretty thin and related to emergency powers in a pandemic, which dont hold water, considering his slack attitude to the whole thing and his job in general. (One of the favoured attack ads in the campaign against him was him repeating "Thats not my job" over and over).
So heres my theory. This man is a deeply religious member of an evangelical church with some strange connections. I think he has become a sucker for the "Laws of Attraction" and taken steps to draw power to himself in the belief that god will present him with the opportunity to become the Great Australian Dictator, or our version of Trump.
Sadly for him, it didnt happen.. But it could have. They are both failed marketing men..😷

Talk about beating a dead horse.. He is no longer prime minister and he is no longer on the front bench, he is aback bencher.. listening to some of the hyper ranting media you would think he had killed a kitten or something... There just seems to be a lot of petty media types who just want to destroy him because he had the audacity to win an election against their leftist allies in the Labour party..

And your loony conspiracy theories are just funny.. Great Australian dictator🤪 ??? get a life.🤣

@Adstar You had me until "leftist". Scummo was a figurehead. (Thats the lump of wood at the front of the ship) to keep Dutton out of office last time. And I am sure he thinks he could have come charging over the hill and saved the day for a grateful nation in the case of a right wing coup be the hard right..Evidence? None. Except that the former minister for everything is now on the back bench while Dutton is now leading the Liberals into the wolderness and tha National party suddenly looks moderate by comparison..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman The ironic thing is Scummo and the liberal party over the last two terms has been the most left leaning high spending least conservative party i have ever seen.. Hard right??? you have to be joking.. He ran an almost pink government, our national debt skyrocketed during his tenure because of his big spending programs.. Your view is a manufactured one by media not one established by observing for yourself the actual policies and performance of the government He ran.. He was the most leftist supposed conservative in Australia's political history..

@Adstar Au Contrere. The govt spending/deficit ratio was thrown off during our resources boom when bonus profits where giving out as tax cuts to keep the Howard government in office. But dont let the facts get in the way of your story. I cant wait for you to get to the part where we learn Dutton is Voldemort.😷
