Dunno GD, I’m tempted to move the marker a little and call Truss minister. Maybe it’s something in the coffee, but the DPM statement in the Hitch article has a feel of ‘reality’ to it. Wazza has some good runs on the board and if you discount the air swings (Skidmore) it’s not been too bad an innings – all things considered.
It was a bad start – failing to hammer the Albo loose balls was a tactical blunder.
Then, there was the apparent gazumping the Senate inquiry and their recommendations. Been chewing on that for a while now – and I wonder – what if. What if Truss understood that the Senators were serious, but were without enough clout to make reform happen. i.e Ministerial horse power required. The next response from Truss was to drag in the much respected Rev. Forsyth and his side kicks to put some flesh on the bare bones of the Senate inquiry. It was Truss who selected Forsyth, insisted on Pel-Air being reopened and the TSBC report. Then there was the Boyd appointment and a couple of good hands brought onto the ‘board’. All on the plus side of the ledger. Up front, he has, despite some highly suspect advice, at least seemed to try to make things work, and it is an uphill battle.
Anyway, FWIW, that’s my two bob’s worth; as I said, I just get a feeling that Truss meant what he said – converting that into real reform, well that’s a whole new world. But, maybe the mouse will roar yet.
We shall see.
Toot toot.
