I hope this isn't considered politics, im looking more for input on what effect it will have on the ADF
So what, if any, effect will this have on the ADF, how much influence does a defence minister have on the equipment purchases and the like in the defence force? Or is his role more of a PR type one?
I'm guessing its more of a PR role considering the two likely replacements are either a Health minister, or a Finance minister.. I always found it strange that they shuffle ministers around like that, but i guess if they aren't the ones making decisions then its no big deal
