Gillard gets new top mandarin
The Prime Minister is in Melbourne catching up with electorate work. She has no public events scheduled.
Tony Abbott is on leave. Acting Opposition Leader Julie Bishop is in Perth. She's appeared on Nine's Today Show this morning and will visit a dry cleaning firm later in the day to talk about the carbon tax.
Moran bows out: Australia's most senior public servant, Terry Moran , will retire next month , sparking a high-level shake-up of the bureaucracy. Defence Department secretary Ian Watt has been named as Mr Moran's replacement as Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet secretary. He's a highly-regarded operator known for his ability to make budget savings. He previously headed the Department of Finance and the Department of Communications. Moran was poached from Victoria by Kevin Rudd but relations between the pair had soured by the time Rudd got the chop. Dr Watt is replaced in Defence by national security adviser Duncan Lewis , a Duntroon-trained former SAS man. As Brendan Nicholson notes , his appointment is a break in tradition that decrees the department's head be drawn from outside the military.
Right hook: Former Liberal senator and Right-faction powerbroker Nick Minchin has had a crack at Malcolm Turnbull through the letters page of The Australian over his speech to the National Press Club this week. Minchin says of his former colleague: "His preoccupation (with conservatives) reveals a man who can't get over losing the Liberal leadership in 2009 and is desperate for someone to blame for taking it away from him." He says Turnbull has only himself to blame for losing the leadership and urges him to become a team player. "It was his deficiencies as a leader - not those terrible conservatives - that led to his demise."
Dilemma: The first group of asylum-seekers facing expulsion to Malaysia under a new people swap deal have arrived on Christmas Island. The make-up of the group is a problem for the government, with up to 19 minors aboard. It's desperate to look tough in the eyes of people-smugglers, but it's not a good look to have riot police dragging children onto planes. Julia Gillard said reiterated last night there would be "no blanket exemptions" for anyone. She said she wasn't concerned about the domestic reaction to the asylum seekers' expulsion, which will be filmed and posted on YouTube. But the international reaction could prove damaging.
