  3. What about higher education?

  4. So much for the so-called Education Revolution. No mention of education (as distinct from schools) in Julia Gillard's list of Ministers or Cabinet Ministers. The incompetent Peter Garrett promoted to Minister for Schools, Early Childhood and Youth. And does PM Gillard have any understanding of science, as distinct from the politics of science?

  5. Rumour is Higher Ed might come under Innovation, not confirmed yet though.

  6. Education really should be separate portfolio. Especially since Higher Ed funding continues to be cut, resulting in lowering standards (as seen in the latest world rankings).

    All well and good for them to say "We want 20% of Australians to have a Bachelor's degree by 2025" but it means naught if they don't follow it up with funding.

    And it seems obvious now that despite the posturing to secure the independent's votes, Regional Australia is not seen as important, given that portfolio has been given as a "double" portfolio, along with Arts.

    I also think keeping Conroy in the Communications portfolio is a mistake and that Arbib's stack of portfolios means that NSW Labor Right style politics is still going to be in vogue.

  7. Well Julia with Rudd in Foreign Affairs you had better watch your back, he was a low grade diplomat,and when he was PM he had no respect from other world leaders as they thought him to egotistical, and had no substance/policy about him, Stephen Smith is a good man and you shafted him.Another thing for goodness sake STOP waving your hands all over the place when you are talking you look like blind Freddy searching for somethingYour reign as Pm will be short make the most of it as Rudd and his cronies will try to derail you in a sneaky way you can bet on that,Why is there not a dedicated Minister for Education, isnt that portfolio important enough?
    Will you be helping Old Age pensioners,Veitnam vets,Carers with a lump sum payment in December,? I still congratulate you as our first female Pm but Tread carefully for Rudd and his cronies will pounce at your first mistake,
