Today, Nathan Rees delivered this frankly bewildering analysis of Sydney’s mounting traffic problems:
“Congestion is a concern for all Sydneysiders and if you think you are in traffic, you are in traffic. It’s not a relative concept.
“It’s no good for me saying, ‘Oh, it’s much worse in New York or Paris.’
“It’s like being in love. If you think you are in love, you are in love. If you think you are in traffic, you are in traffic.
“So for those of you who are from overseas, and those of you who are from other major cities who have jumped in a taxi this morning or been on a bus, please get into the ear of some of our journalists and let them know that the congestion in Sydney is not as bad as it could perhaps be.”
What a fruitcake. So he insults a large section of voters, denies there are any real problems (just percetual issues) and shows a bizarre understanding of love into the bargain. A political genius he is not.
If he had been Premier for more than a few weeks, you’d be forgiven for thinking he’d been there far too long.
One Comment
Embarrassing. What they were thinking putting him in is beyond me. He comes across as both amateurish and tired at the same time.
