Vanstone Age ends

Yesterday was a good day for Australian citizens everywhere. At long last, the monolithic dinosaur that is Amanda Vanstone has decided to retire from politics. And in my humble opinion, the country is better off for it.
Mind you, I'd retire from politics too if I was offered a diplomat's position in Rome.
In honour of Vanstone's time in Federal Politics, I would like to draw your attention to the transcript of her interview with Andrew Denton when she appeared on Enough Rope a couple of years ago. It's a bit of a long read, but well worth it if only to see how Denton butters her up with easy questions about her star sign, pets etc only to blindside her when he cuts straight to the heart of the interview and asks her about children in detention.
