There is a good chance that every time a minister in this government opens their mouth they manage to put their foot in it.
What is it about the ministerial class of 2010 - 2011? First it was Ms Gillard drawling nasally about "moving forward" then it was Mr Swan and his limited and repetitive vocabulary and Mr Bowen and his "people smugglers business model" and now we have Mr Ludwig promising "animal welfare outcomes". What does it all mean - I wonder?
Most of the rest of them aren't even allowed near a microphone for fear of what they might say - or do.
Wouldn't you have thought that a senior minister these days would have half a blue clue about how to communicate with the people? Didn't they spend time at baby politician training school when they were in opposition? Aren't they all supposed to be educated, professional and worldly?
You would have to hope that they know something about how to run their portfolios because they clearly have no idea about how to communicate with their constituency - or even anyone else's.
Isn't it a mandatory requirement for any politician - to communicate - BEFORE they become a minister? Or is the cupboard so bare - the bar so low - that anyone who is even partially awake gets a guernsey these days?
