gross treachery and disloyalty of union boss DOUG CAMERON .. as a reason for his decision
to retire from politics.

Senator CAMPBELL will announce today he won't be seeking pre-selection next month for
the federal election .. and will leave the senate when his term expires in 2008.

Fairfax newspapers reveal his place on the New South Wales Labor Senate ticket will
be filled by Mr CAMERON .. the national secretary of the Australian Manufacturing Workers

Senator CAMPBELL says Mr CAMERON has long been working with the Labor Party's far left-wing
factions to depose him.

Mr CAMERON's declined to comment on Senator CAMPBELL'S assessment of his character.
