"Mr Oakeshott said he had decided to turn down Ms Gillard's offer of a ministry..." (The West Australian, 11 Sep 10). Smart move there by Oakeshott.
Can you imagine: a ministry set up purely and simply as payment to a malleable "independent". The minister -- probably -- not even a member of cabinet. An office, staff, some money to spend -- and no say in anything else whatsoever. No input to the secret cabinet discussions. Forced by the terms of the "power-sharing" agreement to not disagree in public.
If Oakeshott were worth a ministry it should at least be a real ministry. Not just a means to pass him some personal profit and power.
Let's see if any of the other negotiated "agreements" are worth more than the offer of a pretend ministry.
