The USA has only the elected President & Vice-President in executive Government; that is its Ministers are employed on merit; not politically elected.
Our recent Ministerial shenanigans (pork barrelling etc) would indicate that the country would be better served by eminent Australians who are specialists in their field being our Ministers rather than than our political acts who seem to be appointed by political raffle aimed at political factional harmony rather than competence.
The US is venerated on these threads, particularly by the Right, so from a Right perspective, what would be wrong in emulating our hero Yanks?
Perhaps the Right & Far Right could comment please? I know that Labor would not support such a move because it would minimise the influence of Trade Unions on policy and Ministerial selection in future Labor Governments.
In a future Government wouldn't it be nice to have Malcolm Turnbull as AG , Kevin Rudd as Foreign Minister, Jaques Nasser as Industry Minister etc.
