As a result of John Hargreaves resignation from Ministry becoming effective on 31 October, Joy Burch inherited the portfolios of Disability and Housing, Ageing, Multicultural Affairs, Corrections and Industrial Relations Portfolios, and wielded that portfolio for all of nine days.
According to Stanhope’s press release and ABC Online, she’s lost Corrections and Industrial Relations, but been given Community Services, Women, and Children and Youth instead.
Katy Gallagher has assumed Industrial Relations, in addition to her Health and Treasury responsibilities.
Some may wonder at the wisdom of putting responsibility for the entire Legal system, Police force, and Prison management into the hands of one person, but Simon Corbell has acquired the Corrections portfolio.
Andrew Barr, who seems to receive portfolios just as bad news develops has been given the newly-created Gaming and Racing portoflio, potentially just in time to announce how wonderful things will be if Treasury goes ahead with plans to let ACT Labor and the CFMEU expand market share all ACT Clubs trade their poker machines licences.
