It is farcical and misleading for the Prime Minister to claim the above are appointed on merit. The only argue that would support that proposition is that women are lesser than men, Bridget Mckenzie and Sarah Henderson have CVs that dwarf Turnbull’s mediocre appointments. Based on merit, tired hoary argument – the above is a boy’s club, they look alike think alike talk alike and keep talent out.
What a mismatched bunch of non achievers.
Looks like the bar scene out of Star Wars.
Whatever happened to appointing a Minister to their area of expertise
Am I missing something.
Our PM and GG in Canberra for class photos while the rest of Australia remembers the sacrifice of our troops in France 100 years ago.
And was not the GG in France only days ago celebrating Bastille day.
Priorities not selfies.
Turnbull nearly loses the 2016 Federal Election, yet he has made very few changes to his line-up. Why? More of the same I guess. Why is he not promoting women? Doesn’t he trust them? I am 50, and I would love to go into politics, to clean it up and speak the truth. What I say is the truth, straight down the line, no bull, unlike Turnbull. Yes I am male. First thing he does is sack his female defence minister and promotes one of his good mates. I am not impressed with his line-up, he has hardly thought about it. And we have to go through another three years of this. I guess its grin and bear it. Yours Sincerely. PHILIP JOHN BROWN. Ph 02 4244 1613 or Mobile 0429886521. philjohnbrown@gmail.com
