Very interesting if true. Strong decisive leadership... all he needs is innovative policies to have a chance of success.

Getting rid of deadwood and rewarding young, aggressive sycophants in one fell swoop.

Interesting to see how the JLP manages this upset internally.

Clive is a joke...hopefully he will give some attention to his suffering constituents who have sent him to Parliament two times.

Senator the Hon. Dwight Nelson
Minister of National Security

Hon. James Robertson, M.P.
Minister of Energy and Mining

Hon. Olivia Grange, M.P.

(Office of the Prime Minister)

The subjects of Information and Telecommunications which, hitherto, were part of the former Ministries of Information, Culture, Youth and Sports and Mining and Telecommunications, respectively, have been transferred to the Office of the Prime Minister and will be directly overseen by the Hon.

Special congratulations to Dwight Nelson (StGC Old Boy), a friend from we were on the Volunteers Teachers group at Shortwood College in 1966 under the house father, the late Leo "Sherriff of the Plain" Oakley (Cornwall College Old Boy), and house mother, Pamala Mordecai (http://jahworld-pmordecai.blogspot.com/).

PS: I wonder if any members of that VTG are among us? If you were on that fun journey, kindly get in touch via this site's IM? There are some members who touch base from time to time.
