[edit] Deputy Leader of the Opposition

Is this post held by Bishop or Truss? This page is not in sync with National Party of Australia. Timrollpickering (talk) 02:50, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

According to the Parliament of Australia website Bishop is the Deputy Leader. --AussieLegend (talk) 03:59, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Bishop is the deputy opposition leader. The opposition is the Liberal party, not the coalition —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.220.203.50 (talk) 11:27, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Truss is the deputy opposition leader, Bishop is the deputy Liberal leader. Leader of a party is a party position, not a cabinet/shadow cabinet position. Timeshift (talk) 11:30, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Possible name change

I was wondering if perhaps this article should be called "Shadow Ministry" rather than "Shadow Cabinet", with the obvious redirect from Shadow Cabinet. Some oppositions don't differentiate between sections of the ministry (eg Shadow Cabinet (Australia) December 2006 to November 2007) while others do and this can be confusing. Renaming the article would provide consistency between parties. --AussieLegend (talk) 08:52, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
