Yeah, I know it's hard to believe as I am very passionate about politics, but I don't see this as a political scalp. Most punters, including me until I was reminded of it a few days ago, are not even aware the Comissioner gets appointed by the Government. It would hardly be a fatal blow to Labor in Victoria for her to be sacked or to quit. Like when Hollingworth (who was appointed by Howard) was forced to resign, the punters would see it as more a reflection on Hollingworth than on the Government that appointed him. The police commissioner is hardly seen as a creature of either side of politics or as a scalp if they are dethroned.
