VICTORY!

Of Sorts...
For quite some time, this weblog has taken the position that Senator Ian Campbell is of borderline intelligence and his logical faculties are not substantial enough to warrant being a Federal Senator, let alone cabinet Minister for the Environment. More to the point, he is criminally stupid and is the winner of the 'escaped mongo' epithet on these pages.
Today, we find that the Coalition government agrees with our verdict too, and has dumped Ian Campbell from his portfolio.

Senator Ian Campbell has been dumped from the environment portfolio and Amanda Vanstone has quit the ministry altogether in a shakeup of the Prime Minister's team leading into an election year.

Campbell will take on human services, while his environment brief will go to Malcolm Turnbull.

It's still not good that he is still a minister of something so important as Human Services, but we'll chalk this one up as a victory for these pages.
Hooray! I won. :)

In other news, Amanda Vanstone finds herself on the outer with the cabinet reshuffle. It's about time somebody put a bullet into that career too. Good riddance.
