Footy fan-like minister Peter Dutton makes a fumbling start PETER Dutton is the new Sports Minister when he is not the new Health Minister. He has been given both responsibilities because our new PM presumably sees an undeniable link between one and the other. Play sport and you stay healthy. Or at least you have a better chance of avoiding the ambulance, the doc and the emergency unit. Until, of course, some hunk of an opponent falls on your leg and shatters it in three places. But we are being picky.
