Pearls of Wisdom from Ministerial Advisors. (November 25, 2006)
It takes neither a rocket scientist nor a brain surgeon to
come to the conclusion that federal governmental decisions are driven because
the prime minister wishes it so, and if his view is based on
significant voter pressure, so much the better.
Nevertheless it's worthwhile having it confirmed from well placed sources.
A TFW reader reports on an encounter the other day which involved an inner
cabinet minister. "Of some concern is the Minister's advisor who told me that
she wasn't sure what the fuss was about as there had been very little media
pressure and nobody much was making complaints to the Minister's office."
