Mike Baird has just resigned as Premier of NSW.
Who will replace him?

No idea. I know nothing about NSW politics. However, I wonder what he is going to do now, he's only 48, too young to "retire". He didn't mention his health or "family matters". So who knows?

Good point cods!

They are lacking in real talent on a federal level and he does come over very well despite losing some skin on Council Amalgamations and Banning Greyhound racing!

And he loses even more skin with his rants about taking more and more refugees until Sydney splits at the seams with them which, incidentally, it already has. I can't stand the man.

Gladys let her own electorate down by making promises to them to get herself elected and then totally ignoring those promises for years until her constituents were so disgruntled with her that she had no choice.

Anyone but Gladys!!

Mmmm yes hadn't thought about who will replace him!

Unfortunately I dont know a lot of the NSW MLA's so have no opinion really, I do know Gladys as she in one of the more high profile ones.

sure he upset a few people loud mouth people over the greyhounds..but by gees they needed stirring up dont you think??>.

this is Australia 2017 we dont torture animals... :mad :mad

as for the councils good on him. they are all bloody empire builders...who spend more time arguing than doing....... half of them.....

no one likes their little patch sorted do they.?? they are entitled dont forget!!!!! it makes them important..

just a loud lobby group thats all.

Anyone who will stop the staggering influx of refugees into Sydney is good in my book but there isn't anyone like that in either party.
