The ABC brings word that the ousted ACT Labor Secretary Bill Redpath is planning revenge on those who brought him down (in the gentlemanly terms one would expect from a former legal luminary):

    “I had hardly got my feet under the desk before the rumours started,” he said.

    “I’m disappointed that I’m finishing a job today that I never really got a chance to start.

    “I think that any new secretary deserves support and loyalty and not this sort of campaign.

    “If I ever found out exactly who it was I would take appropriate action.”

We’ll have to look forward to finding out what “appropriate action” might be!

Deputy Secretary David Tansey is taking over in an acting role until a permanent appointment can be made.
