In the face of our fifth Prime Minister in just over 5 years... let's start afresh.

Huh!
And I thought we had the record.

It was nothing controversial. They were just firing up the staff at the Lodge over several glasses of wine and sharing jokes about their term. There is an iPhone video of it floating around the internet.

Edit: Here is some of it.

It may just be because it was uploaded by Swan himself, but the only remotely interesting thing about that clip was that they were holding glasses of wine.

Again that was a tiny clip.  Apparently Swanny said he and Gillard should get pissed in the afternoon the next day, so lol.

Rumours the reshuffle is going to be a lot more significant than expected.

Kevin Andrews is holding a press conference. Sounds like it's confirming he's being moved on as Defence Minister.

Indeed! Just think Bronwyn Bishop, Abbott, Andrews, and who knows who else sticking around? The show goes on!

It's certainly appearing the reshuffle will be much bigger than anticipated.

Steve Ciobo is Minister for Int. Development. He was purged from the Shadow Cabinet when Abbott originally won leadership.

So dutton remains?

Yes, that surprises me a bit to be honest.

It pains me to say, outside of Dutton remaining (I think the difference being Hockey and Andrews campaigned for their jobs, Dutton offered to go), this is a pretty good Ministry. The thing to remember, this is the Turnbull Cabinet. So his rhetoric about the Cabinet being the ones to consult and change on policy?
