Talk:Arthur Sinodinos

So is Sinodinos still a minister?
Sinodinos stands aside - so is he still a minister? - I thought it was poignant to bring this up due to this reversion. Timeshift (talk) 00:46, 21 March 2014 (UTC)


 * From my (now increasingly rusty) understanding of machinery of government concepts, I'd say yes, he is still a minister. His commission as Assistant Treasurer has not been withdrawn (or "determined", as they say formally) by the Governor-General, and neither has he resigned.  When he and Abbott say he has "stepped aside", what they mean is he has stepped aside from performing his ministerial duties (hence his request to forego, for the duration, his additional salary, staff, whatever), but he is still, technically, the Minister.


 * In some ways it's no different from when a minister goes on a holiday and someone else acts for them till they come back. The difference there is they still draw their ministerial salary while on leave; with AS, he would be technically entitled to insist on also continuing to receive his ministerial salary despite having stepped aside, because he has not ceased to be the minister (as distinct from having ceased to perform the function of minister).  That was the basis of Shorten's question in the House yesterday (I think).  --   Jack of Oz   [pleasantries]  05:27, 21 March 2014 (UTC)


 * But really, this is far from the first time a minister has stepped aside pending some inquiry (Ian Sinclair, Mick Young .....), so I don't know why this case presents any issues that are different from any earlier precedent. --   Jack of Oz   [pleasantries]  11:25, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Lives in NSW but Ambassador to the USA?
This doesn't make sense to me. HiLo48 (talk) 09:08, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

Request addition of new position
It was just announced that Mr. Sinodinos will be chairing The Asia Group's new Australian practice. Australian Financial Review and Politico both covered the news. Can someone please add this update to the Political career section, since it concerns a political consulting position? Perhaps something like:
 * On May 1, The Asia Group announced that Sinodinos will be chairing the organization's new Australian practice.

The reason I'm making this request and haven't made the change myself is that a professional connection at The Asia Group asked about how to seek this update and I offered to assist. Due to this, it feels more appropriate for an uninvolved editor to review. (To be clear: I do not have a financial connection to this topic or The Asia Group, just erring on the side of transparency and caution.) Thanks so much in advance for any help with this! 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 19:31, 5 May 2023 (UTC)


 * I know it's a long time since you last commented here, but I was wondering if you'd mind taking a quick look at this request if you have any time to spare? Thanks in advance! 16912 Rhiannon (Talk &middot; COI) 19:25, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I saw you'd edited this article not too long ago. Wondering if you would have a minute to look at adding this career update? Thanks! 16912 Rhiannon (Talk &middot; COI) 20:56, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
