Talk:Mal Brough

message: To date, Brough's defining legacy of his Indigenous Affairs portfolio has been his startling and at some times hyperbolic statements made regarding the state of indigenous people in Australia.
Mention needs to be made of Brough's controversial statements and surrounding media coverage. These include:
"Everybody in those communities knows who runs the paedophile rings", the Aboriginal "showcase" scheme, and the $1 million cash allegedly found in an outback community —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vermifuge (talk • contribs) 
:This may be a good source for his time in Indigenous Affairs. Ten pages of Brough's controversial statements and surrounding media coverage. Bringing back the Brough: 10 of the worst things Mad Mal did in office. It's a news website run by the NSW Aboriginal Land Council reporting his return to politics which explains the plain language and frequent use of the terms "whitefella" and "blackfella".

According to the above, Mal Brough is "stand[ing] aside... pending... inquiries" and other ministers will "act" in his place. That is to say that he has not actually "quit the Turnbull ministry and moved to the backbench" as the article states; instead, he retains his position but will cease to discharge his functions until the police inquiry is complete.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.225.174.82 (talk) 04:34, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: That's not the way I understand it. If a minister retains their position how can they be considered to have resigned, much less moved to the backbench? By way of precedent, I'd like to refer you to the case of Arthur Sinodinos. The article's lede refers to Sinodinos as having "stepped aside" as Assistant Treasurer on 19 March 2014 but "still formally [holding] the position until he officially resigned on 19 December". This nomenclature is repeated in the body of the article and is reflected in the infobox. It's therefore clear that there is a distinction, and that this distinction has been recognised in the past.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.225.174.82 (talk) 08:07, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
