What always struck me at the time was that Mike Pezzullo was the most go-to Public Servant in the country when questions arose for Peter Dutton to answer. One wondered at the time, who was in fact the Minister. That was while Immigration was about to collapse and when Dutton took Pezzullo to Home Affairs it seemed necessary because Dutton was totally incompetent. There in plain sight it seemed Pezzullo for all intent and purpose was the Home Affairs Minister and not simply the Public Servant.

Journalists from The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald and Sixty Minutes have at last exposed the efforts by Mike Pezzullo, Secretary of Home Affairs, to influence government in favour of conservative politicians and by insisting that press freedom be stifled.

Scott Morrison certainly believed in the Steve Bannon theory of Power ” Flood the zone with SHITS”. Not trusting anyone he appointed himself to half a dozen Ministries and did it in secret. Bannon Trump’s advisor intent was to, Flood the Public Service with partisans and Mike Pezzullo was a standout example. To say Peter Dutton was ignorant is to state the obvious not of the tactic but plain ignorant as a Minister. He proved it in all the portfolios he ever held. and Boomgate was the public demonstration. One could have asked why Pezzullo’s fist seemed so up his clacker when he was asked any questions on Immigration or Home Affairs? Who was really appointed to head that Ministry for Scott Morrison who was focused on having his photos taken?

Leaked messages from Home Affairs secretary Mike Pezzullo are under investigation for improperly influencing political decisions, writes Dr Jennifer Wilson.
