Australia: Secret Ministries inquiry, Farnham voice, scrum objection

From Nine To Noon, 9:45 am on 24 August 2022

Australia correspondent Karen Middleton joins Kathryn to talk about Prime Minister Anthony Albanese flagging a formal inquiry into his predecessor's five secret ministerial portfolios.

Yesterday advice from the Solicitor-General was released, saying while it was lawful it contravened the convention of responsible government.

She'll also talk about singer John Farnham's surgery for cancer, some Wallabies' objections to the suggestion scrums should have a 60-second time limit and a Canberra judge dismissed a "too busy" excuse from tennis star Nick Kyrgios in seeking to delay an appearance over an assault charge.
