Advice on the legal implications of Scott Morrison's decision to secretly appoint himself to five ministries is set to be made public.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will release the solicitor-general's advice on Tuesday, after he was briefed on the matter on Monday afternoon.

"There hasn't been a suggestion of illegality, but there have been questions raised about how this could occur, how it fits in with the conventions," Mr Albanese said.

Cabinet will discuss the advice before it is released.

Calls are growing for an inquiry into the former prime minister's actions which saw him take on health, finance, treasury and home affairs - as well as the industry, science, energy and resources portfolio - between March 2020 and May 2021.

Mr Morrison intervened as co-resources minister, by blocking the PEP-11 gas exploration licence off the NSW coast after then resources minister Keith Pitt approved the project.

The final decision is now the subject of a Federal Court appeal.

Mr Morrison has maintained that was the only time he used his powers to interfere in the portfolios.

Nationals leader David Littleproud said the coalition would work with the Labor government to help rebuild trust with Australians following the revelations.

"We're trusting the government to make whatever they can transparent," he told the ABC.

"As a parliament I think there is bipartisan support to make sure that we put the safeguards around democratic institutions to protect them well into the future and protect the trust that we expect our community to have in them."

Mr Littleproud said it was appropriate cabinet considered the advice, because it was that process which "should have been respected that Scott Morrison got wrong".

A spokesman for Office of the Official Secretary to the Governor-General backed changing the system to a "more transparent process" so any appointments were made public.

The Greens have already asked House of Representatives Speaker Milton Dick to refer Mr Morrison to the powerful privileges committee over the scandal.

One of Mr Morrison's former ministerial colleagues, Karen Andrews, has said he should resign his seat of Cook in the wake of his actions.

Public hearings into Star Entertainment's suitability to hold a casino licence in Queensland are set to get under way.

Star is under intense scrutiny following revelations Hong Kong firm Chow Tai Fook, which received state government approval to take a stake in the Queens Wharf casino and resort development in Brisbane, has links to notorious Chinese organised crime.

The allegations follow separate claims of money laundering and organised crime links raised at a NSW inquiry into Star's Sydney operations.

The Queensland inquiry into the gambling giant is set to hear from witnesses from Tuesday with Star management and staff also called to give evidence.

The probe will examine Star's commitment to anti-money laundering measures, its management of high rollers and the use of China UnionPay bank cards to facilitate gambling by Chinese nationals despite currency restrictions.

A focus on the management of exclusions will take a particular interest in patrons excluded from The Star Sydney at the direction of NSW police, and whether they were encouraged to attend Queensland casinos.

Star Entertainment's $3.6 billion resort and casino development at Queen's Wharf in Brisbane is expected to open in 2023.

The review will report to the attorney-general by September 30.

Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios' assault case is set for mention in court on Tuesday.

Kyrgios was due to be before the ACT Magistrates Court three weeks ago but the hearing was postponed.

The 27-year-old will be represented by Canberra solicitor Michael Kukulies-Smith and won't appear in person as he remains in the United States to take part in the US Open, which begins on August 29.

The common assault charge relates to an incident in January 2021 that was reported to ACT police in December.

The charge reportedly relates to an incident with his ex-girlfriend Chiara Passar.

The case comes off the back of Kyrgios losing to Taylor Fritz at the Cincinnatti Open, failing to make the final 16.

Hopes of a long-awaited Silverchair reunion have been dashed after frontman Daniel Johns revealed his former bandmates knocked back an offer to play on his new solo album.

The 21-time ARIA winning rock group went on an "indefinite hiatus" in 2011 but previously hinted at a comeback.

Johns revealed he asked drummer Ben Gillies and bassist Chris Joannou to play on his FutureNever album but they declined.

"I asked them because I wanted to make it clear that I don't have an issue with them as people - I just didn't want to play under the banner of Silverchair," he said in a statement.

"I asked them to come again and then when they didn't want to, I didn't care. It was like, 'I asked you, it's cool, I'll play the drums with spatulas."

Johns made the revelation in the first episode of online documentary series 'Inside The Mind Of Daniel Johns'.

It coincides with the opening of a new interactive exhibition about his career at Melbourne's Rialto Tower.

The 'Past, Present & FutureNever' experience includes a recreation of his adolescent bedroom in Newcastle, memorabilia from the '90s grunge scene and a custom-made art installation involving a DeLorean car.

This is the first time the 43-year-old has been actively promoting FutureNever since crashing his car in the Hunter region while three times over the legal alcohol limit, just before the album was released.

Johns avoided jail time over the collision and a court heard the release triggered mental health issues he had been living with since his early twenties.

"For probably the first time in my life, I've sacrificed the art for both my physical and mental health. I had a nervous breakdown, I really f*cked up -- I've been processing pain and guilt," he said.

"It's literally a lifetime of work that has gone into [the exhibition] and I'm prouder of it than anything I've ever done."
