I believe it is imperative that Duma NOT retain his DPE Ministership.
All signs seem to point in that direction. The O'Neill coalition doesn't need him or his party. Hence, there's no need to reward him for jumping on board after the coalition is secure.
Not having Duma (or Namah, for that matter) allows O'Neill much greater flexibility to walk away from any DPE positions taken by the prior government, which is obviously great for approval of the Gulf LNG plan, SMs, SDs, the operator, etc.
Let the competition to partner with IOC continue.
