Former Australian PM Scott Morrison Quits Politics for Corporate Sector

Morrison's controversial tenure marked by pandemic response, Aukus pact, and secret ministerial appointments.

Former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has announced his retirement from politics to pursue a career in the global corporate sector.
Morrison led Australia from 2018 to 2022, overseeing the country's response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Aukus defence pact.
His tenure was marked by controversy, including a scandal in which he secretly appointed himself to several ministerial positions while in office.
Morrison's government faced criticism for its handling of climate change, with his support for the fossil fuel industry and claims that arson was a bigger cause of wildfires than climate change.
Despite losing the 2022 election to Labor's Anthony Albanese, Morrison remained in parliament until his recent announcement of retirement.
