Former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison will today deliver a valedictory speech to Parliament as a final act before he retires for a new career in a corporate advisory.

Mr. Morrison announced his intentions to leave Canberra in January, going back on a statement that indicated his intentions to stay on with the centre-right Liberal Party as a backbencher after their election defeat to Labor in May 2023.
