  It is also good to see Ms Plibersek who is relatively a very good communicator and a talent (though I had assumed she was already in the cabinet)
  Good to see more responsibilities given to Mr Combet who has already proved himself very capable minist

  It is good to see the elevation of Mr Shorten to cabinet. I believe he will make an important contribution to arguing the government's case and drawing attention to the irredeemable flaws to the so-called liberal party.

  In particular, two issues stand out. The first is the calls from people like Bob Carr to increase the base of ALP membership. More members not only means more support to draw on, but more talent, more minds and better competition of ideas.

  I've recently heard that the local Catholic Church (in Glenbrook, I think, St Finbars) is telling its clergy not to vote labor, coz Abbott trained as a priest. This is very sad.

  It lower the unemployment rate and people will have more money to spend and prop up the economy instead of now as everyone is on some sort of Centrelink payment and lives off credit upon credit as Australia still has not learnt from the American GFC!
