Bushranger,
Thanks.
I wonder, however, if we went back to a Minister for each Service, would we be any better off - or would we have Minister's fighting each other, whereas now, supposedly, the senior Minister (i.e. Defence) is the descision maker.
I do agree that the two "junior" Minister's and Parlimentary Secretary don't seem to do any value-adding to the entire process...............
