oh god! this is the worst government in history of mankind

Carr was the longest serving Premier since federation, with Iemma’s re-election it was a new face and the people were a bit more tolerant but ultimately it’s still a labor government. A fifteen year old government is a huge period, if they were to win re-election it would be remarkable twenty year government. In the days of profesional labor and liberal parties which I mark as commencing with the end of Arthur Calwell’s departure the oppositions are too organised and you just accumulate too many slip ups over a long period of time.

The election of Rudd didn’t help either, truth be told is Australians don’t like wall to wall governments. In 1995 under Paul Keating’s prime ministry Bob Carr was elected the only labor premier, in 2002, 5 years after Liberals took federal Mike Rann becomes premier and ever state government is labor. We have this mentality that one will keep the other in line if they are from different parties I think and when both are from the same party we get scared and think they unrestricted.

Really labors win at the last election was lucky at best. The Brogden meltdown and Debnam’s silliness made what should have been libs with a small headstart a neck and neck thing, then the fresh faced Iemma smoothly replacing Bob Carr whom seemed to leave on his own terms and bearing the bulk of labors shortcomings on his shoulder gave Iemma his majority. But now the government is even older, the party leader is much more talented and the previous premier was pushed it seems makes victory for ALP seem impossible. But Nathan and even Morris shouldn’t feel too dissapointed with themselves, they’ve managed to keep the opposition at bay for longer than most governments could dream of and destroyed two electable oppostion leaders in Brogden ad Chiko, by all means now is the time for Rees to roll the dice, who knows what next. Ultimately policy will not deviate that much from the days of old but the campaign manouvres will be interesting, expect him to stack the marginals with celebrities come election time.

“Mr Oakeshott had about 700 volunteers handing out how-to-vote cards at booths on Saturday, including state NSW Labor MP, Kerry Hickey, state independent Tamworth MP, Peter Draper, and federal independent New England MP, Tony Windsor.”

“Why don’t you Laborites ever acknowledge how bad NSW Labor actually is!”

That’s the difference between labor and liberal GP.

Labor eventually get rid of their trash whilst the libs let it stay there and fester and ferment.

Once again, the stupid lines about Christian fundamentalism. Hell, even if it’s true, I’d rather some Christian fundamentalists than the pack of idiots running the state now. Why don’t you Laborites ever acknowledge how bad NSW Labor actually is!
