V is for

VICKIE who is one of the curiosities of SA politics, a member of a political dynasty. Her father Ted was Liberal wheeler and dealer, and she seems to me to typify what is really bad about the State Liberal party, a lack of clear vision and a tendency to only whine about their opponents.
Following the defeat of the Liberals on the floor following the 2002 election, Chapman attained the portfolios of Education and children's services. After the Liberals were soundly defeated in the 2006 election, Chapman was elected to the deputy leadership in an unexpected joint ticket with factional rival Iain Evans. Strong backing was received from moderate faction bosses: former Premier Dean Brown and federal Member for Sturt Christopher Pyne.
I would not wish to stand in front of her on a dark night.
