FORMER Liberal deputy leader Vickie Chapman has refused to rule out challenging Isobel Redmond for the Liberal leadership after the election.
She twice dodged the question at a press conference today – and even when contacted by AdelaideNow later in the afternoon, Ms Chapman tried to defuse the issue, saying it was “not a relevant question”.
Asked twice at the earlier press conference, Ms Chapman avoided directly answering questions about whether she would make a tilt for the leadership in the next four years.
Instead she tried to focus attention on the short time the Liberal Party had left to try to win government on Saturday.
“We are fighting in the next five days to make sure we have an opportunity for a Liberal Government, I have always said that is the absolute priority for myself and other colleagues,” she said.

Shutter Island is a 2010 psychological mystery-thriller film directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio. The film is based on the 2003 novel of the same name by Dennis Lehane. Production started in March 2008. Shutter Island was originally slated to be released on October 2, 2009, but Paramount pushed the release date to February 19, 2010.[3] Paramount head executive Brad Grey blamed the recent economic downturn as the main decision behind the delayed release date.

Pi Day and Pi Approximation Day are two holidays held to celebrate the mathematical constant π (pi) (in the mm/dd date notation: 3/14); since 3, 1 and 4 are the first three decimal digits of π. March 14 is also the birthday of Albert Einstein and the two events are sometimes celebrated together.
Observation
Pi Approximation Day is observed on July 22, because of the Ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes’ first rough approximation of π as being 22/7. [Archimedes was able a few years later to calculate a much-better approximation of π.] However, this may be considered misleading, as all cited dates are “approximation days” (since π is an irrational number) and 22/7 is actually a closer approximation of π than 3.14 is. Typically, March 14 is more popular for countries using the month/day format and the 22nd of July is more popular for countries using the day/month format.
