Who will replace Morrison?
News reports are speculating that Immigration Minister Scott Morrison is on his way out of the immigration portfolio potentially paving the way for the now assistant Minister Michaelia Cash to take over the portfolio. Who would you like to see running the portfolio?
Expectations are growing for a post-Budget ministerial reshuffle with Prime Minister Tony Abbott considering a new niche for his favourite non-wimp Scott Morrison, according to a report by News Corp Australia.
Considered to have ‘successfully’ managed the political sensitive and critical portfolio since December 2009, Morrison has earned a reputation for talking and acting tough on the “stop the boats’’ issue which was critical to the Coalitions 2013 election victory.
“Having battled through one of the most difficult policy areas, he would be entitled to ask for another task. The ambitious Sydney MP’s next move could be to a larger portfolio, possibly defence where the current minister is West Australian David Johnston,” the report suggests.
The Prime Minister is an admirer of Mr Morrison’s hard line approach on matters and in late February hinted he considered him a man after his own style.
”You don’t want a wimp running border protection. You want someone who is strong, who is decent and Scott Morrison is both strong and decent,’’ said the Prime Minister.
What is your view on who should take over the portfolio?

Definitely Michaelia Cash. She knows the Immigration portfolio backwards.

Will be disappointing if Morrison does go ....Cash would be a brilliant replacement.
Ruddock was the best ever Minister in my opinion :-)
