Rudd govt can use Peter Garrett as environment scapegoat

Standards sacrificed to save position THE AUSTRALIAN, 24 Feb 2010, PETER Garrett now appears likely to survive as Environment Minister.

He shouldn’t keep his job, because of incompetence and a failure of political instinct and courage, but he will stay out of political expediency.

By holding on to the crippled minister, the government can throw him to the wolves at a later date….The beleaguered minister’s residue of goodwill has been depleted and he now personifies the disillusion with climate change politics.
