A Cabinet reshuffle will be announced next week. He's doing well if he has the courage to dump deadwood Ministers such as Dutton and Kevin Andrews, and Hockey is removed from any financial portfolio. His choices have to be sensible though. There was talk of putting Pyne into the Defence portfolio; that's such a poor fit that I consider that unlikely.

Dutton - not dumped.
Andrews - dumped.
Hockey - dumped.
Pyne - did not get Defence.

I got 3 out of 4 right ... not too bad. Surprised that Dutton didn't get shuffled, after his recent gaffe one would have thought he was doomed. He even offered to resign. Why didn't Turnbull take this chance?

That is hardly a fair bet, name a portfolio where he would be suited ? He came from Education (fail - badly unsuited) defence no option (unsuited) they gave him Industry, Innovation and Science. There are pulling our leg right, they could not be serious could they ? (unbelievable)

It is a very obvious assessment based on the way you talk about anyone in power. it is 'small man syndrome'.

When politicians offer you something for nothing, or something that sounds too good to be true, it's always worth taking a careful second look.

A difficult question, but I cannot think of a portfolio less suited to being run by the Mincing Poodle than Defence.

Envy appears to be one of your major motivations. Pyne has accomplished more than you while travelling on a plane.

That's your debating style? You showed promise when I first arrived, but you are now very clearly not much of a debater.

Pyne is an enigma.

A few years ago, well maybe 10, I thought he might be PM material.

For some reason I think he'll do well in his new ministry, especially if he is free from ideological constraints which I think was a VERY LARGE part of his brief in education & therefore his "Failure" in that department.
