How low can the NSW ALP go

NSW government contribute $250,000 to a project after allocating a $1 Billion business park project to a company who donated $150k to the NSW ALP. I guess if you give me $150k we will give you $250k of taxpayer’s money

Hospital has no money to buy soap and hygene supplies, presumely the money had gone to ALP donor

# 123 I agree, Gary, that parliamentarians should observe the rules (that is, the Standing Orders). It is also discourteous. However, I am less censorious than you about this instance of (mis)behaviour reflecting on O’Farrell’s leadership credentials or (as you would have it) lack thereof.

#124 Yes, I agree that Rees ‘is not up to it’. I expect he will be replaced before the election, probably by a woman. My guess is it will be either the Deputy Premier (only if she wants it and Albo supports her decision) or the Planning Minister. But it will not happen until Obeid and Tripodi have sorted out the factional machinations.

Hope you are well, Gary.

Certainly not a good look to have the opposition leader chucked out.

Sensible oppositions work out their tactics before QT – ie. when Barry gets his second warning, he sits down and someone relatively articulate like Smith or Berejiklian should maintain the rage. Or even Pru Goward, who is after all, the shadow in that portfolio.

Overall I doubt it will hurt the Libs. Rebel Sports sold out of baseball bats some time ago…

If Rees had done that you’d be using it as a further example of how he is not up to it.

122 – No excuse. Follow the rules and show leadership.

# 119 Barry got fired up in Parliament over a DOCS issue. It has drawn attention to another failure of this government: child protection policy.

Haha, the NSW Labor Defence Force in this thread is amazing.

So what do you think of the stories and stance at 103 Ryan.

Looks like a case of:

“ya all can jiggle my nanas titties but don’t ya all graffitti ma wall.”

113 – Well David, how about he starts acting like he does.
