As a minister it only matters that she is clever enough to take expert advice and run with that. She's there to represent us, it's unfair to ask her to have an in depth knowledge of any portfolio that she could possibly be given.

Having said that MPs, like the general population, seem to undervalue expert advice and value 'gut feeling'. This is especially true if their gut senses media controversy or 'giving the opposition a stick with which to beat them at the next election'.

While it would be nice to see a tech savvy person in such a position they may well not understand the social implications of policy (such as most people don't know how to search in the internet for a filter let alone understand what a filter is) and that would be equally painful to watch.
