New Zealand MP demoted, stripped of health portfolio, after suggesting homeopathic treatment for ebola.

Good on them. In Canada they'd make him Minister Of Science And Technology. In the US he'd be a Republican Senator. New Zealand? "No, you are a silly person. Shut up, and we're keeping you very far away from science or medicine policy."

It works because his organisation retains a molecular memory of his portfolio.

But only after being thoroughly beaten with a mallet.

Technically he was stripped of the natural health portfolio which was merged back with Health but glad to see it was considered a looney tunes thing to believe in

whereas right next door, he'd have been appointed head of the government science laboratories.
