This announcement leaves so many unanswered questions:
- Why is Brereton still a Major-General in the ADF?
- What happens to all the defence referrals he has been working on, and making decisions on, until now?
- Why is he paid over $800k a year not to work on defence referrals?

- What happens to all the defence referrals he has been working on, and making decisions on, until now?

I think the real story here is that Ley is the person with the most support to lead the Liberal Party, though with just 13% of all voters and 23% of Coalition voters. But a massive 42% of all voters and 24% of Coalition voters are unsure who would be best to lead the party.

Every leader around the world has recognised both that stroking Trump’s ego is key to successful negotiations with the US and that telling him they will nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize is the easiest way to achieve that right now.

It’s a shame the current ALP looks nothing like Gough’s ALP. Gough had courage and a determination to make reforms that would improve people’s lives. This government is insipid and all talk. Approving fossil fuel projects, gutting and destroying the NDIS, dragging your feet on supporting Palestine.
