"Anyway, I’m not going to hold my breath waiting for any good to come out of the NSW Liberal govt. My local member is Missing In Action, my neighbouring MP Kevin Connolly is only seen in the local paper when there is a photo opportunity as new classrooms are opened as a result of the Federal Labor Governments BER he spent months slamming, just a wee tad hypocritical…"

Same with my area . from Gash, Green and Ward ,  ALL there for the photos shoots whiles voting against the reforms  and having not much else in their achievements to brag about.

Of course Federal Labor is waiting for the public to notice that the Lib govts in the states are no better than the previous Labor govts they threw out. This should play into the hands of federal Labor just as it did Howards Liberals and its the reason Abbott is trying to force an election now, because 2 yrs is a very long time in politics and voters are not as dumb as he thinks.

Sexist

Don't let O'Farrell and Baillieu destroy wind and solar industry

!  Will Abbott follow & do the same ?
 




It's a perilous time for renewable energy in Australia. In NSW and Victoria, state premiers Barry O'Farrell and Ted Baillieu are taking the axe to solar feed in tariffs and declaring war on the wind industry.
In NSW, Premier O'Farrell slashed the solar feed in tariff without warning and despite promises has failed to replace it with anything that will keep the solar industry alive. Nearly 4000 jobs could be lost by the end of the year. Two weeks ago he said if he had his way there would not be another wind turbine constructed in NSW.

In Victoria, with Premier Baillieu new laws, a single resident can stop a wind farm within 2km of their house but a primary school in Anglesea can't stop a coal mine being extended to within 800m of the school. Ted wants wind energy out of Victoria! And cutting the solar feed in tariff to less than what you'd pay for coal-fired power just doesn't make sense.
The papers have been full of letters of outrage at this anti-renewable energy campaign but we need to make sure that they hear our message loud and clear.

I will look back to the good old days fondly, the Labor government were not perfect, not at all, but at least we weren’t travelling full speed backwards.

Back then we had a Premier that spoke to us, not at us. Back then I could drive down Macquarie St without having to wonder if it was closed off for yet another protest. Back then the ferries were running, not on strike. The children were at school learning, not home playing X Box while their teachers marched on Parliament House. Back when pensioners could afford the rent, and Foster Carers were appreciated not singled out and punished. Back when desalinated water was considered “emergency use only”. Back when first home buyers didn’t have to buy a house so far out of Sydney that they needed an Atlas to find it on a map. Back when clean water was seen as a basic human right, not a revenue raiser. Back when hospitals were something you put funds into, not pulled funds away from. Back when we had a government that despite its flaws, actually worked.

I am hoping that people remember those days next Federal and State, and Council Elections.

No matter how much bad press, no matter how thick the political smear, and no matter how much mud is thrown. While a Labor Government  may look not such a good option, experience is telling us the alternative is too terrible to contemplate.

In NSW we live with our mistake daily, and yearn for the day we can correct it.

Barry should have delivered this budget whilst stroking a cat.

Wait for it, the NSW government is doing a review of the EP&A in. It only suspended the contentious clauses giving the minister overwhelming power in the development process that angered so many people in NSW. This review is code for "we will rewrite the clauses so we still have as much power you just won't notice". Everything Barry has done since he got in is pretty well much the opposite to what little he said before the election. I suppose when you have no policies in the first place you can do as you like and no one can accuse you of backflipping.
