I like Ian Campbell. Seriously. He has a good heart and he worked hard in the Environment portfolio, particularly around issues such as whaling.
The fact that he has been forced to resign because of the moral imbroglio brought on by Howard and Costello's attack on me is testament to the snarling, vitriolic politics this country does not deserve.
If Howard and Costello hadn't attacked me, do you think Ian Campbell would have had to resign?
Ian Campbell has become "collateral damage" in the conservatives' push to be too politically "clever". And the Australian people know that if you push "clever" too far, you become a smart arse. And smart arses tend to end up...
...on their arse.

You know you've got his voice down quite well.
Imbroglio???
I couldn't find it anywhere at Coles. I asked the friendly 16 year old shelver wagging school to get a few readies together to pay for her mobile phone bill, saying I thought it was some sort of Dog's Breakfast, but it was nowhere to be found among the cornucopia of cans. Maybe that's why Coles is going down.
It's a bit surprising since the number of brands and styles of petfood was always my shining example of how well Australian Manufacturing is performing. Get Kim onto it, dogfood looks like his cup of tea.
Lately I've found a better index...did you know Australia has more flavours of potato chips per head of population than any other economy? Who says we aren't doing grand in the globalised economy stakes, we know how to Add Value. There's even dogfood flavoured potato chips ( for the dogs of course, do not be tempted), no corner of the domestic consumer debt led australian economy will be left unexploited, that's what ad agencies are for.
Stuff science, history and maths, what we need is kids who can write killer copy, it's the last trade that will be outsourced, therefore has a plausible career path.
But back to the dog's breakfast, or imbroglio as thou-cleverer-than-moi puts it, there will never be clearer evidence of the corruption of this lame excuse for a government than the opportunistic shafting of Campbell. Mind you I think it was all set up long ago, even they know a dud when they are stuck with one, it's just part of the Costello parachute plan. He needs to look like he's got a hairy chest.
Nonetheless their audacity in saying Campbell can come back as a minister later is breathtaking. Sack him for being hopeless as a Minister by all means, but this is beyond a bad joke. Jump on it. Hammer Howard as to whether he will be actually front the election, or will he be sending in The Clown.
Forget Costello et al on a day to day basis, address parliamentary questions to backbenchers in seats you want to win on what their knowledge and bias of the issues of the day are, get their ignorance out in the open. The front bench will hate being ignored, what fun.
