Talking of governments, I often wonder how a P.M. or a Premier chooses the Ministers that make up the Front Bench, what criteria is used. There was a Minister for Road Safety in the South Australian Government who after 47 days in office was forced to apologise for his unacceptable driving record which listed 58 traffic offences and over $10,000 in fines.

He resigned that portfolio after all this came to light.

He is now the State Treasurer!!!!!
