  22. Turnbull, Malcolm [@TurnbullMalcolm] (23 August 2022). "Morrison's CoS, John Kunkel, had worked for John Howard. He must have known this was a bad move. Equally PMC officials including Stephanie Foster must have known this was utterly without precedent and wrong. What did they do and say. If they did nothing - the system failed" (Tweet). Archived from the original on 10 July 2025 via Twitter. The inquiry into the #SecretMinistries scandal must go beyond Morrison. Understanding, as I do, how PMO, PMC and the GG office are meant to work I remain astonished that there was apparently no pushback to Morrison when he embarked on his bizarre secret accumulation of power. At Government House - David Hurley has been CDF, Governor of NSW and Governor General. He knows how government works. He knows the GG is not a rubber stamp and can ask questions, give advice and warn. His Official Secretary Paul Singer has been at Govt House for many years. How did all these experienced people allow Morrison to do this. If any of them had dug their heels in, pushed back, and done so in writing it is hard to believe even the self described bulldozer would have persisted. If they did not push back then they, and the system, failed.
