Katy gets the brown end of the stick

It was well known in the Assembly that Gallagher was a part timer. She used to just read stuff out that her department produced. Anyone can do that! Given she is on over $200k a year package that was a nice gig. She will have to show that she can actually get across details as Treasurer. She will also need to show some political skills dealing with the Greens. Let’s see if she has what it takes. She has had far too easy a run so far.

Probably has more to do with the long-standing and close friendship of Hunter and Gallagher.

I wonder if the Greens will make the minutes of these meetings public as part of their committment to open government?

Doesn’t Stanhope have some history of declaring that commitments made by his ministerial colleagues are not binding on him?

Be careful Katy!

Makes a lot of sense. Katy’s from the Left faction, which should more closely align with the Greens, yes?

In addition, Katy looks like she’s being groomed to take over when Stanhope abdicates the throne. So it makes sense that Stanhope wants her in a good position to work cooperatively with the Greens.
