Sammy Wilson has been Finance Minister for just over a month.
In his previous job in Environment he managed to upset the green lobby amongst other with his controversial views on climate change.
The Assembly's environment committee passed a vote of no-confidence in him, while he sometimes went on a solo run which annoyed some of his executive colleagues.
But he was never afraid to state his case and the political hacks at Stormont were very grateful.
Maybe, we thought, the more sober brief of finance would quieten Sammy down.
Not a bit of it.
On Thursday, after an attack from the Northern Ireland Council for Ethnic Minorities, he said there was now an anti-racism industry.
Alliance MLA Anna Lo said she was disgusted.
But the Minister had more to say.
''There's a human rights industry, there's an equality industry, there's a victims industry and there is a race industry,'' he said
''I have to ask: are the resources which go to these particular areas resources which are well spent?"
He has also targeted civil service and assembly costs while quangos are also in his sights.
Hold onto your hats this could be lively.
