It is now corrected. Thanks for pointing that out OC – I am tipping Peter Blackmore, and the electorate guide entry was in error. It is now corrected.

Heh that's a good idea. A vote for the coalition with David Clark as defacto premier will certainly mean that our state's environment will be better protected than under the ALP. Not. Fact: the worst ALP government is always going to be better than the best Tory one. I mean people really have short memories of the real devastation that St Nick Greiner perpetrated on State services and infrastructure in pursuit of the fulfillment of their dry economic wet dream. “The other hot issue in Wollondilly which could turn people away from Labor is mining damage – to homes, rivers, etc. The government recently went against loud and clear community opposition and approved a new mine too close to the Nepean River.”

It is Labor retain on the seat guide but "Blackmore is marked down to win Maitland from Labor" above. Hi William, What is your tip for Maitland?

I find this hard to believe. How do you draw your conclusion? The economy is going well, best in 15 years, the budget is in Surplus, unemployment rate is 30 year low, interest rate is low. If you are think that is incompetant, you must have hated the last Labor federal government The State's budget is shot, public sector wages is out of control, trains are never on time and has no emergency plan, hospital is under funded, X city tunnel is a joke, indirect taxes is the highest of all states in Australia, growth is lowest of all state in Australia, public school principals (normally labor voting) have said that apart from teacher's wages the government has failed, police (normally labor voting) has said that apart from police wages, the government has fail ....... can you see a pattern there.

First, he champions a costly broadband upgrade project, drawing lavish praise from Telstra (of all the corporate friends one could make...). Secondly, he drives home his support for arguably the most incompetent governing body in the country, making a show of being chummy with the Priemma in front of the cameras. What is he thinking?

While buses are virtually non-existent, a train line runs smack bang through the middle of Wollondilly shire, with stops at most of the villages, and a decent portion of people use it to work in neighbouring Campbelltown or the city (a very long trip so if trains run late it's a huge issue). And don't forget too that a huge chunk of the seat of Wollondilly is made up of suburbs of Campbelltown. The other hot issue in Wollondilly which could turn people away from Labor is mining damage - to homes, rivers, etc. The government recently went against loud and clear community opposition and approved a new mine too close to the Nepean River.
