Exploring Our Natural Selves and the Secret Minister

This week on Secondary Rules, Joshua Neoh and Ryan Goss talk about Rousseau’s views on rabbits, the Governor-General, and Scott Morrison’s secret ministries.

• Rousseau: ”A Discourse Upon The Origin And The Foundation Of The Inequality Among Mankind”
• Neoh: “Law, love, and freedom”
• Prof Anne Twomey: “Explainer: Scott Morrison was sworn in to several portfolios other than prime minister during the pandemic. How can this be done?”
• ABC interview with Prof Luke Beck: “Unanswered questions in Morrison ministerial controversy - ABC Radio National”
• Beck: “Parliament must act to ensure Australia never has ‘secret ministers’ again”
• UNSW Gilbert + Tobin Centre for Constitutional Law: Video of expert panel on the current constitutional issues surrounding former Prime Minister Scott Morrison
