Cowen was meant to have been an agitator behind the scenes against Martin in recent years. It was a surprise he was chosen ahead of Calleary for a ministry position.

Calleary would also have been seen as an agitator against Champ. He made him Deputy Leader to keep him busy and out of mischief. Heā€™ll find it hard to fuck him over again though.
