BREAKING: @ScottMorrisonMP has declared national cabinet will “no longer be run on a consensus approach” after QLD refused to agree to a national definition of hotspots to reopen borders 1/2 @newscomauHQ
State officials and Federal sources have confirmed to @newscomauHQ that the PM opened the meeting with a declaration on the new approach. One person familiar with his comments said: “He opened up with it so it’s, ‘I’m changing the rules so I don’t get rolled’”
What this means in practice is PM can declare what states are on board with hotspots and which ones are not - just as he did with schools @newscomauHQ
