Julie Bishop shuffled out of her position of chancellor of Australian National University yesterday. She quit rather than being pushed out of her tenure early. Her time at ANU was like her time in politics: self-promotional ego fluffing, no respect for others or ability to work cooperatively on shared goals, untrustworthiness, and persistent scandals.
