Predictions for New Transport Minister?
OK, this is a rumor forum. Anyone game to hazard a guess about who will get the transport portfolio now that Anderson's gone?
As usual, paranoid me is going to bet that it will be someone from NSW with a known fondness for QF, or a complete tool who can be easily won over to the dark side. One thing is for sure, it definitely won't be anyone from Melbourne. My guess would be that the QF Board already have a candidate in mind and the Packer press will be pushing his (or her) credentials as soon as he (or she) is announced.
This is one prediction I'd like to be wrong on.

watch out!
Yow watched the ABC news with Barry Cassidy's predictions too did you WR?
Nope. Came to me as a rumour from a Politician of the same political persuasion.
From what I have seen of Truss, there just may be hope at last for aviation in Australia.

Vaille wil not give up the trade portfolio, too many great overseas trips involved.
Truss, as Minister for Agriculture, has a good understanding of regional issues. Besides he looks like a bushy.

I think Warren Truss has a link to aviation that can't be ignored, he was actually included in the construction of every Hawker Hurricane built, and others besides.
"...The rear fuselage followed the conventional Warren Truss girder construction techniques of the day..."
(from Geek Stuff )
He was used in bridge construction also, transport is where he belongs.

Hmmmm. My source of Parliamentary rumours may not be correct this time?
The Australian - Promotion to cabinet for McGauran
Transport could end up with a more junior Minister....
