Incumbent David Hurley tenure finishes mid 2024. Anthony is in talks with the King in regards to a replacement but those talks would have to be on the back burner as Charlie not conducting any business for a month due to a nip job on his prostrate. Mutterings are that Linda Burney MP who represents all Australian a favourite which I am sure would please Marcia Langton no end. Maybe that old war horse Kim Beazley would not be long odds. Maybe Anthony is sick of Billy Shorten standing behind his back & that would get rid of him. Would not be the first time as Bob Hawke gave Billy Hayden the nod after a coup de tat. Actually one of dahlings of Australian politics Julia Gillard must be in the mix as well as Rudd was awarded a distinguished post abroad.
