Name your portfolio (1 Viewer)

[Generator]

Just a light entertainment thread.

You have been a member of Parliament (state or federal) for some time, and you have just been offered the chance to select a portfolio following your party's election victory. Which portfolio would it be?

I'd choose Education . I wouldn't mind a Social Justice portfolio, provided that it is in some way influential (particularly with the Treasury), too. I guess that given the nature of the current parties within the two-party preferred system, I would be a member of the ALP at the federal level. At the state level, I wouldn't mind Knowles' 'super' portfolio.

I would be Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Security. Because I Love Kevin Rudd. (assuming ALP is in the senate)

 

[Frigid]

[gordo]

[Not-That-Bright]

That position aside: Foriegn Minister (International Relations [trade included] and Security [include Defence]) or Treasurer.

I want that Portfolio. Foriegn diplomats and leaders would warm more to me than to you, Zahid.

[ohne]

My preference would be state politics and I would very much like Craig Knowles portfolio of Infrastruture, Planning and Natural Resources (basically covers everything outdoors).

At a Federal level I would like Trade or Treasurer/Finance.

 

[transcendent]

Can someone provide a link to what each Portfolio does?
I'd probably try for Health or Education at state level, I'm not interested in 'other' states or Australia as a whole, just NSW.

 

[Not-That-Bright]

like you back to england?

No Asquithian, the homeland of all man-kind - Africa.
We should all go back to Africa where we belong and let the animals live in the other countries.

I want Arts. It's about time we had an arts minister that actually knows what the arts are...

alternatively I'd want Education. I feel sorry with who ever gets stuck with health or transport. You got your work cut out there...
