i was just thinking - seeing as how it's theoretically possible to be a minister while not being a member of parliament (at least for a short period of time), would it be possible to have a prime minister who isn't actually a representative or senator?

The PM has to be a sitting member of the lower house as far as I understand it.

Just remember to go back and edit your post to something more favorable once Dutton takes over and commences the purge on all disloyal citizens.

Am I the only person still waiting on a picture of the “name and shame” board? I really want to liken this to previous experience of unions “having evidence” of something but never being able to substantiate.

I won’t though until we’ve confirmed there is no picture of the board.

Only by convention. The PM and Cabinet aren't even mentioned in the constitution. So much of the Government is convention by rote as handed down from Westminster and there's really nothing stopping them from putting a Senator in except (also by tradition) that's a conflict of interest between the house that governs by and introduces legislation (lower) and the house that verifies legislation/is a check on that power (upper). A Senator only represents one of the states, and a PM supposedly governs for all and even that's a furphy because technically it's a party who governs. The PM's department is a sheer fiction invented by John Howard to make him look taller and less ratty (it failed).

That's why it's so laughable when the Government whines about the Senate putting its legislation down, it's doing its job protecting the rights of the states against the federation. Partisanship has gotten so toxic that everyone forgets this or has never been taught the conventions.

Arsetralian:

quote:

Malcolm Turnbull has reached the leadership benchmark he used to unseat Tony Abbott with the loss of the 30 consecutive Newspolls despite the Coalition clawing back ground against Labor.

The latest Newspoll to be published tomorrow exclusively in The Australian has confirmed that the Government has now trailed Labor for 30 consecutive newspolls, meeting the test of failed leadership set by Mr Turnbull in September 2015.

However, the Coalition has managed to narrow the margin by a point to trail Labor 48/52 on two party preferred basis after voters cast their minds back to Labor's poor economic management and the uncertainty of the Rudd/Gillard regime.
