Scott Morrison to pursue US defence role after Australian politics retirement

Hours after announcing his retirement from Australian politics, Scott Morrison revealed he would be taking up new positions in the American defence private sector alongside former key Trump figures. In an exclusive interview with Sky News Host Paul Murray and his first since announcing his retirement from politics, Scott Morrison says he is enormously grateful for his time in parliament. Mr Morrison said he will take on opportunities which are reportedly alongside the likes of Trump administration secretary of state Mike Pompeo. Reflection on his time in office and the criticism he’s faced over the years, the former prime minister believes it is simply part of the job. “You can’t complain about the field you’re on; you choose a life in public service, in politics, and that’s going to come with some slings and arrows,” Mr Morrison said.
