Scott Morrison has become the first former prime minister to be censured by the parliament, but not before stating he still believed three of his five secret portfolios were warranted, and refusing overall to apologise for doing what he thought necessary in the face of an unprecedented crisis.

Mr Morrison also claimed he would have divulged the portfolios had he been asked at the numerous press conferences he held in 2020 and 2021.
