OOC: Does the individual come up with what their Ministerial position says their meant to, or do we all work together on policy?

[Knives]

That wouldn't be popular with the public though, although supporting give the public and option would work well.

[Knives]

As the only women in the party I'd like to nominate myself for Minister for Women(or whatever it's called) considering my previous experience as an Engineer I'd also say I'm highly capable for the Infrastructure and Transport portfolio.
