The voters put NSW Labor back in, therefore, the voters have no one to blame but themselves if Labor has sent NSW to the dogs. Not much use in calling for Rees' blood when he's trying to fix the mess.
They didn't have a choice! Labor won because the Libs were unelectable, it wouldn't surprise me at all if Labor sneak back in next time.

Unfortunately the Liberals, although having so many lost opportunities, are a lousy opposition. There has been talk of Jeff Kennett becoming leader of NSW Liberals in the next year or so. At the time he was premier of Victoria - everyone hated him for his extra high taxes and privatising everything - although that isn't much different to the way Labor works today. Whoever gets in won't make much of a difference - none of them have a clue or care about anything except themselves. We should hold a referendum and privatise all governments - it couldn't be much worse than what we have at present. It would also be a cost saving.

Haha. He's OK, but just not leadership material. Even his own party have said that - Mr. Nice Guy, but no drive or ambition - and that's obvious.

Joe Hockey has improved considerably since the coalition lost. He seems a lot more happy and honest now that he's not under Howard's thumb. He would definitely be a better alternative than O'Farrell.

I can't really see Labor getting another term - NSW has had enough of them. Even if the Liberals are hopeless - Labor is just too incompetent and untrustworthy and it would be too hard for Rees to turn the party around at this late stage.

You think Hockey is happy? To me, in QT he looks damn unhappy.

Dita, I invite you to fuck yourself with a stick.

If the best you can do is troll for attention, I can see where this will end up.

Tears for the little children.
