We expect NSW government to be responsible for high power prices as they are bringing 2 million Indians to Sydney to make that electricity more expensive. Why? So Barry can drive limousines and we can all sit on street corners with begging bowls.
When we, the public say, Barry, We want lower prices for electricity or water we DO NOT want to hear him say its a private matter and I can't do a damn thing about it. That's not why spilt blood & fought wars to get professional Government.
Privatising water is the same political cop-out. It is fundamentally anti-democracy, pro-aristocracy government that has no business in NSW.
We should all stand with the Police in their demonstrations against this self serving Greineresque ablution of government and tear it down ASAP.
I don't see why O'Farrell should stay another minute let alone another 12 years. This 'too big to fail' corporation tool is capable of turning NSW into another Libya or Egypt.
