Who will Be The Liberal Aviation Minister?

[Sunfish]

Now that the Gillard Government is finished, who will be Abbots aviation Minister? Will we see any improvement?

[Wunwing]

Unfortunately there will not be an Aviation minister but as per usual a Minister for Transport and Infrastructure.
Labor always appoint a member who has a near airport electorate and Libs always a Nationals farmer who is interested in exporting produce.

In our dreams it would be Xenophon, but of course he is not in the lower house, not a Lib, though he leans that way, but he is by far the most interested in aviation transport. Who knows who they will get, in the lap of the Gods, but at least a new broom.

Peter Slipper because he is used to getting ..... just like the industry

[VH-XXX]

I think he is the pitcher. He certainly can pitch a good story.

[LeadSled]

Folks,
Unless something strange happens (and unprecedented), the next Minister for Transport (the breakup of "Infrastructure" is likely) will be Warren Truss. This is in accord with traditional Liberal/National arrangements.
Tootle pip!!

IK978....I like that one!:)

[tail wheel]

Interesting LeadSled, but I hope not. With amalgamation of the Liberal and National Parties in Queensland, I suspect the Nationals will have a far lower profile in the Federal Coalition. And Truss is now LNP, not National.

Clearly Albanese outshone Anderson, but Truss could be a clear winner, based on past performance. :{

[Frank Arouet]

Watch the "dark horse" in the race, (if accepting that poison chalice is worth racing for), one Barnaby Joyce who is seeking a Lower House Seat for The National Party. Does this put him up for Deputy Prime Minister if Truss is out of centre stage?

Talk is of a challenge to Tony Windsor, my money would be on Tony.

[Andy_RR]

Perhaps Clive could do the job...? :}

[Frank Arouet]

Clive owns an aeroplane at least. Should be a shoe in considering Albo only wants to fight "Tories" which includes "$billionaire's" like me in "the Nation's interest".

[gobbledock]

Howabout, M Quinn coming back?????

[Jabawocky]

Maybe the Chardonnay of the west is clouding my take on this,but are you saying Barnaby will be a DS puppet?:eek:


PS Dispite fixing my ipad finger troubles, I swear there was some other cryptic message about who was who in the zoo......;)

[MakeItHappenCaptain]

And what makes you so sure Labor won't get back in next election???

ps. Did you hear the forecast for hell is supposed to be -5deg C?:}:p

[Ex FSO GRIFFO]

Yep! And can reach -20C in winter.....

'Hell train station is situated at a railway junction where the Nordlandsbanen rail line north to Bodø branches off from the Meråkerbanen between Trondheim and Storlien, Sweden. Hell Station is currently a manned railway station.'

:ok:

The Canberra 'Hell', on the other hand........ :ugh::confused:

[TBM-Legend]

Bob Katter.....:ok:

[Howard Hughes]

In our dreams it would be Xenophon, but of course he is not in the lower house, not a Lib, though he leans that way,
You don't need to be in the lower house to be a minister, nor do you need to be a member of the party! I can't really see it happening, although a mail campaign may be in order!:ok:

[aroa]

Taily... Did you mean Albo outdid Anderson in the "do nothing" stakes.??
They might think the sun shines from their respective fundamentals, but it has remained very dark in GA, still under the CASA cloud.:{ during both.

Truss... as in bridge girder...can't recall much light there either. Will he 'shine' again.? Doubtful.

-5C in CB.? So? Bit like CASA really...that's a colossal snow job where the changes are slower than Antarctic glacial.:(

Was it ever thus.

[Jack Ranga]

Clearly Albanese outshone Anderson


Anderson was a complete clusterf@#+ but I'm not sure Albanese is any better?




Read my post again. I am not disagreeing with you. Nor do I believe Truss would be any improvement! :{

And Truss is now LNP, not National.With respect, it can all be a bit confusing --- one his web site, it quotes both "The Nationals" and the LNP.

In the Federal sphere, Truss is parliamentary leader of the Nationals, and my information is that the traditional arrangements will apply.

Indeed, the Nationals improved their position at the last election, and I doubt Abbott will want to do anything to upset the balance, despite a few Libs. getting quite fractious --- the last thing Abbott wants is three cornered contests, with Nationals and Liberals splitting the non-Labor/Watermelon vote.

Tootle pip!!
