Fitzgibbon: gone!
549 days into the Rudd government, we have the first ministerial casualty: Joel Fitzgibbon. After selling national secrets to China and NIB, he has been forced to step down in order to avoid having to listen to Julie Bishop’s incessant whine in his ear.
Of course, the Rudd government had already overtaken the Howard government’s 487 days in power without ministerial dismissal, and to beat the new record you would have to go back to the Whitlam government which took 939 days to sack Jim Cairns.
Now that the Rudd government has gotten past this important milestone, let’s hope we can start the ball rolling. It’s scandal season!
