The Scott Morrison ministerial positions controversy was a major political scandal in Australia involving the former Prime Minister of Australia Scott Morrison. Following the 2022 Australian federal election, at which Morrison's government was defeated, it was revealed that Morrison had himself secretly appointed to five ministerial positions without the knowledge of the public or his own government. An inquiry conducted by former High Court Justice Virginia Bell recommended legislative changes to prevent such a consolidation of decision making occurring in the future. On 29 November 2023, the Ministers of State Amendment Act 2023 came into effect, requiring all future ministerial appointments and certain other appointments to be publicly notified.
