Ha-ha! This is like the court of a renaissance pope. There are excommunications going left, right and centre. David Gonski is thrown to the wall. Ken Boston—out he goes. Who will be purged next? Actually, I correct: it is more like the politburo. All of the heroes of yesterday are being excommunicated by the Labor Party today. At the risk of quoting a heretic, let me quote what Ken Boston said:
