It’s true

It's true that the NSW Labor Government deserves the flick tomorrow. Some of us have been saying that since 2005 - not so much because they are incompetent - but because they take the electorate for granted and they have abused our trust.

NSW was once the Premier State - today it is but a shadow of its former self - in large part because of the dimwits who infect the governing party. The Labor brand is seriously damaged nationally but it is probably irreparable in NSW.

Nothing serves to demonstrate incompetence more than a bunch of lightweights who pretend they are developing and implementing good public policy while feathering their own nests. It's a particular characteristic of the right - and the NSW Labor Government has them in bucket loads. Along with most other State Governments.

So the people of NSW are right to flick their Government and to find another that will govern competently. If the voters are smart they will also reject the ultra right wingers who are trying to infect the Upper House and will install a moderate parliament.

And quite frankly the Liberals deserve a go in NSW. Most of us want them to succeed there and to form a competent and capable and stable Government. If they are smart they will take a considered and moderate approach. At least then we would have a role model for how Liberal Governments can behave and it might even influence the Federal party and its leader. We'll see.

So good luck NSW. You will probably need it.
