‘Just weird’: Albanese responds to reports of Scott Morrison’s ‘shadow government’ – video

Australia’s prime minister Anthony Albanese has said reports of former leader Scott Morrison operating a ‘shadow government’ while in power are ‘extraordinary and unprecedented’. 

‘Australians knew during the election campaign that I was running a shadow ministry,’ Albanese told reporters in Victoria. ‘What they didn’t know was that Scott Morrison was running a shadow government. A shadow government that was operating in the shadows. What we have when we get sworn in as ministers is that there’s some transparency there.’
