Nathan Guy made Internal Affairs Minister

Nathan Guy joins five other members of the Class of 2005 as a Minister.His portfolios are Internal Affairs, National Library, National Archives, Associate Justice and Associate Transport.

The Associate Transport is the one portfolio Richard Worth did not have. Look for him to take a big interest in making Transmission Gully happen.

Maurice Williamson gets to keep his temporary portfolio of Land Information.

Nathan is a popular MP, across political boundaries. I think he has the potential to rise very high in politics, and expect he will be in Cabinet before too long.

The Caucus elects a new Senior Whip tomorrow. I would be very suprised if junior whip Chris Tremain is not elevated to that job. If he is, then the real interest is who will replace him as Junior Whip – there is no obvious choice.
