"Foreign Minister Penny Wong has said the days of politicians assuming lofty diplomatic postings upon their retirement from parliament are mostly at an end.Senator Wong said the Albanese government was “reversing” what she said was the previous Morrison government’s approach to diplomatic appointments."
but wait there is more....
"However, former federal Labor minister Stephen Smith will take over as High Commissioner to the UK in an appointment which Senator Wong said was in keeping with tradition."
Is this hypocrisy or just plain old jobs for the boys?
