Presenting the new Minister

From Jeremy, a hint of the backroom preparation in government communications units that anticipates a Cabinet shuffle. And the ensuing waiting game.

I have to think that the change-over in Parliamentary governments is a greater challenge for comms shops. In Federal systems, there is usually some process of appointment and confirmation. A process that institutionalizes a time lag and time for fevered work.

In our wonderful Parliamentary system, the Prime Minister can reshuffle half the Cabinet over lunch and expect fully revamped Departmental web sites by dinner time.

On another note - wow - I forgot how much I liked Swing Out Sister’s Waiting Game.
