DefMin Marise Payne's Industry Power passed to Pyne - New Ministry List

The most politically influential (industrial) part of Defence Minister Marise Payne's portfolio has been passed to a more senior politician. That senior politician is the new Defence Industry Minister, Christopher Pyne (below). Many instances of "Payne/Pyne" confusion will now occur.

1.  Where I indicated in Australian Election and Shipbuilding (of July 13, 2016) that Prime Minister  Turnbull's imminent post Election Ministerial reshuffle would likely involve:

"However, [Defence Minister Marise Payne's] portfolio, with its domestically influential shipbuilding programs, is now attractive to others, including Abbott"..."Alternatively the centrist (and significantly South Australian) Christopher Pyne may take her position."

The message of a diminuation of Marise Paynes' defence industry power appears accurate. 

Mr Pyne has made unsolicited comments on submarine building policy for at least a year - as these articles on Submarine Matters reveal.

Just announced today (July 18, 2016) in Turnbull's post Election Ministerial reshuffle is Christopher Pyne's new role of Minister for Defence Industry.

"Defence Industry Minister (to work on the new defence plan). Pyne will work alongside Defence Minister Marise Payne." see Huffington Post (Australia edition), July 18, 2016.

2.  The official New Turnbull Ministry List of 18 July 2016 (in WORD and PDF) is here. It was in WORD now in html (admittedly not perfect) below. Payne and Pyne are redded for emphasis:

      "Each box represents a portfolio. Cabinet Ministers are shown in bold type. As a general rule, there

      is one department in each portfolio.  However, there is a Department of Human Services in the Social

      Services portfolio and a Department of Veterans’ Affairs in the Defence portfolio. The title of a

      department does not necessarily reflect the title of a minister in all cases. Assistant Ministers in italics

      are designated as Parliamentary Secretaries under the Ministers of State Act 1952."
