Name of this Ministry edit
I don't know where the "Tertiary Education" bit came from - the sources I've found list this portfolio as "Minister of Jobs, Skills, and Workplace Relations". In fact, the absence of "Education" from the portfolio name was considered rather a big deal:
- "TOP universities have blasted Julia Gillard's cabinet reshuffle, saying her decision to place higher education under the skills portfolio - and not have education in any minister's title - devalued the importance of the sector." [1]

- Oops... I take it back, I found this: Julia Gillard bows to unis, adds Tertiary Education to Chris Evans' title, The Australian, 14 September 2010 ...reference on the page for Chris Evans. I will add the reference to this article as well. Dracunculus (talk) 17:55, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
When it comes to the precise formulation of the name of portfolios, I wouldn't be taking as gospel what any media outlets report. Media is renowned for abbreviating these things, or paraphrasing them, or mixing up the order of words, and other sins. The only horse's mouth is the official list published by the Dept of the Prime Minister and Cabinet - see [2]. -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 20:05, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
Labour Minister edit
The portfolio was originally known as Labour and National Service. Was the Labour title eventually dropped in order to avoid confusion with ALP ministers. That is Labour Minister meaning the minister of that portfolio as opposed to Labor Minister meaning this particular party that the minister comes from. If this true then this fact should be included in the article. The Shadow Treasurer (talk) 01:23, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
