		The Shadow Cabinet, are the leading members, or frontbenchers, of an opposition party, who generally hold critic portfolios "shadowing"?title=cabinet ministers, questioning their decisions and proposing policy alternatives.

	Shadowing Bush (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		As issues arise, the appropriate cabinet member is the point-man for the opposition, presenting to the press what would have happened if the shadow cabinet were handling the situation, and in the process critiquing the actual cabinet member.
		Also, there is the presumption that if the cabinet member is doing his or her job competently then the shadow cabinet has a chance of becoming the cabinet-elect after the next election, and will then have the power to fully effect the changes they had promised as shadows.
		The shadow cabinet, which would be administered by the Democratic Party itself, is in many ways the opposite of MoveOn.org's loose structure: it is a hierarchy with one person at the top and a single person deciding policy for each field of issues.

		Australia's humanitarian programme comprises "offshore resettlement for people in humanitarian need overseas; and onshore protection for those people already in Australia who arrived on temporary visas or in an unauthorised manner".
		And so it was with electoral backing that John Howard virtually halted the trickle of the "bad" refugees who arrived on Australia's shores independently: 5,577 arrived in 2000-01 compared with 869 in 2002-03 and a projected 750 for 2003-04.
		How can it be argued that the government does not embrace a vision of Australia as a skilled and multicultural immigrant nation when it increased its admissions of skilled migrants and their family members from 70,200 in 1999-2000 to 108,070 in 2002-03?

		The shadow ministry needs to show that it is ready to govern, ready to handle the state's hospitals, schools and police.

		What you in Australia must understand is that you are more to blame than the CIA is because you want this to happen, you want a certain administration in control and you don’t want another administration in control.

	Carmen Lawrence Quits ALP Frontbench [December 5, 2002]
		However, it's not fair on my Shadow Cabinet colleagues to seek to be an exception to the rule that you don't speak out and that you don't dissent.
		In my experience in recent times it's not uncommon in the Shadow Cabinet for issues to be discussed first of all with an eye on what the public reaction is likely to be, rather that whether it's inherently good policy.
		You seem to be having purer view of Cabinet solidarity than Simon Crean, who this morning said it would be OK for you to argue in public party platforms your case for change of the policy.

		Oliver Letwin's appeal for an end to stifling bureaucracy, his attack on asylum and immigration policy and a quick hit on Europe is the kind of mix he hopes will woo back lost Tory voters and restore the party from what the former vice chairman Archie Norman called it's "pretty parlous state".
		Before we come to talking about your plans for the police, a simple question, talking about the Shadow Cabinet and as it were, the Tory ministers, faceless, no identity, nowhere to be seen.

	Burnt Orange Report - Cabinet Spice Rack
		I think picking the cabinet in advance is a lousy idea -- other politician's have less incentive to help you if they know they won't be picked or if you pick their enemies, plus inevitably you'll be stuck defending a few on the baggage they bring.
		It might make sense to name a couple of key jobs people care about in advance, but most of it shouldn't be announced until after the election (though yeah, it would be best if they were picked before the election given how long the confirmation process takes).
		Yeah, I think that a "shadow cabinet" is a bad idea too but I still like to fantasize about what it will be like when Bush is gone.
