For John Howard, ministerial reshuffles were a lot like visits to the dentist. They were uncomfortable but necessary. If ignored, he knew that rot and decay could and most likely would set in. So, Howard did both. Regularly. Like Anthony Albanese, he famously had all his teeth straightened in Opposition. In the lexicon of political symbolism, there is no more searing signal of intent for future leadership. But Howard also took the drill to his frontbench to ensure it, too, maintained its bite.
They, like many things in politics, are ruled by the Newtonian principle that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Put another way, they are like a game of cascading dominoes. Each decision that moves or removes one minister necessitates another to fill that space and then another to fill the space that leaves and so on and so forth until all the dominoes are settled in place.
