Simon Crean - who has long been and continues to be a stalwart supporter of Gillard - has the job.<br /><br />"Simon Crean Minister for Regional Australia, Regional Development and Local Government, Minister for the Arts"<br /><br />I read into that that Crean is the one who is trusted to deputise for Gillard in dealing with the regional independents. Crean has some financial nous; is politically trustworthy; and is capable of dealing respectfully with the independents. As a Melbourne lad I'm not too sure what he knows about regional matters, but anyday now I plan to enter into correspondence with him.Brigidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862531789968068093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1052331249465415794.post-2062560028913227822010-09-11T15:15:38.888+10:002010-09-11T15:15:38.888+10:00I like the idea of Tony Burke as Minister for Sust...I like the idea of Tony Burke as Minister for Sustainable Population, Communities, Environment and Water.
