Dead wrong cream puff. I wrote Two years worth of Ministerial Briefs for a former liberal state government and I know of what I speak.
Unless you have something positive to propose, all you will get from the new minister is one of two letters: " I have referred your excellent suggestion to CASA" or "the matter you have raised involves questions of law and I have therefore referred it to the attorney general".
If you want to be heard and effective, make a simple proposal that is easily within the ministers power to action that will make him and his department look good for little effort.
Entreaties about "stopping the reform process" will receive exactly the same attention as a plea to repeal the law of gravity.
Try and think of a few very simple things that could be easily done that would be welcomed by everyone then propose them one by one. You enemies are complexity and obfuscation.
