Greg Hunt, after his whirlwind tenure as federal Minister for Health, is about to escape the boiling pot of politics and re-enter life as a normal citizen.

His successor’s identity will obviously be decided by the big vote on 21 May.

But it seems it will be either Anne Ruston or Mark Butler.

Anne Ruston is not a name familiar to many. She is the current Minister for Families, Social Services and Women’s Safety.
