NSW is a mess
Whatever the faults with Premier Rees and his team, we must remember that they’ve been chosen from a fairly small (and rotten) pool of sitting Labor MPs. Given the rigidity of the NSW constitution, effectively making an early election impossible, the current line-up is by far the best of a bad lot. Let’s hope they don’t let this get to their heads and continue to ignore the interests of NSW citizens. If they do, I’m moving interstate.
---------------------------------
It disappoints me greatly that the citizens of NSW could vote for Morris Iemma and his Labor Government in 2005. Now they’ve stuffed up big time and we all have to bear the consequences. This state lurches from one crisis to another, and this is not likely to change much with a new captain on board.
It seems that voters were asleep at the wheel, and now we’re all paying the price. I no longer care who forms the government in NSW—just as long as it’s not Labor.
---------------------------------
Again we see more dogmatic idiocy from the clowns running NSW. Both the new Premier and Treasurer are sticking to the mantra that all government debt is evil and a downgrade to NSW’s AAA credit rating would be on par with the apocalypse.
The state’s finances are a mess. New infrastructure—particularly in public transport and health—is sorely needed. Now is the time, if ever there was one, to borrow the funds and invest directly in the future. Since we still have the AAA rating, we should use it.
Sadly, politicians in this state are extraordinarily inept at planning for the future.
---------------------------------
Suddenly the North-West Metro plan is being torn up as quickly as it was launched. Is anyone surprised?
