Merit principle
New Minister for Ageing, Chris Pyne, appointed to replace Santo Santoro after his share trading problems, is obviously in John Howard’s good books. According to the PM, if you:
“apply the merit principle, Mr Pyne’s promotion is well-deserved”.
Which of course begs the question which ministers have been appointed on the merit principle and which have been appointed on other principles or lack thereof? Can’t wait to see the merit vs other reasons list!

What the heck is a merit principle?
Who decides what merits are even to be considered?

Funny coz Pyne was (and probably is) a Costello supporter. Pyne sounds like a jockey with a plumb in his mouth.
