Former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison was censured on Wednesday over his self-appointment to five portfolios during the COVID-19 pandemic, which he kept secret from the public and many of his own cabinet colleagues, local media has reported.
The historic motion, brought by the ruling Labor party, passed by 86 votes to 50 in the country's lower house, marking the first time a former prime minister has been censured by parliament, though the motion is symbolic in nature.
