It seems that PM Anthony Albanese more or less promised Mr Gosling that if he won Solomon and Labor won the election, Mr Gosling would be elevated to Assistant Minister level in his government.
That did not eventuate, and Mr Gosling who has been a stalwart representative for his electorate for over a decade, has every right to be disappointed.
