@d72d5211 @44a8e2ed @3862d25e A minister is not a great idea, partly for the reasons Dave mentions, but all that aside it would still end up with the equivalent of appointing a career criminal as Justice minister. (Justice usually goes to a lawyer). Also, there’s no evidence a subject specialist in that role would develop policy any faster.
Far better for any tech related policy to be developed through a broader society lens (but with help from decent expert advisors).
@29b9efc5 yep - advisors who don't have deeply conflicted interests (which, to date, has always been the problem - the advisors are always compromised with vested interests) @44a8e2ed @3862d25e
