"Mind you, plenty of them seem to have headed north to Godzone without creating the apparent inertia that exists south of the border."

The debt from infrastructure spending in Queensland is already huge, and will become larger. NSW's mess is Queensland's future.

Pale.. me ? centrelink ? :) good grief.. if you knew how incredibly hard it is for someone in my position to do that, you would appreciate why I just about splurted my coffee (to quote CJ on my posts) all over my keyboard as well.

I'm self employed, and a trustee of a discrectionary trust, and you just would not believe how many libraries of paperwork..and more accountants than a footy team are needed just to fill in the first page of forms.

Then, each time you answer a question honestly, it triggers yet another form.(which is like a book) which in turn triggers more need for those teams of accountants...

When things were really tight, I did try to get on it.. but just gave up. I've been on 'low income' in reality, for years now, but things are improving :) I think this month (feb) I drew $576.00 :) good grief.. no wonder I'm running out. Thats for a month. But I took $4000 over december/Jan..

As I said in another post, my time posting on OLO worked out to have cost me around $28,000 in time over 3 yrs.

I wait for a break in work.. jump in.. abuse CJ :) or harass Perilous, then back to work.

As I shared with Foxy from Paul "I have learned to be content in all circumstances."

Glad you agree that it's 'people' who are the root of the problem for NSW.. my solution still applies though.
People not believing in 'my God' is not a drama.. They didn't believe in 'Pauls' God either but he kept on keeping on..and within 300 yrs..Rome was Christian.

C J Morgan your post is quite right , the state is hardly in ruins, however.
You can never know the fight that took place in just one seat to get them over the line last election.
And we should not forget it was no easy task , in fact only that the opposition was seen to be worse saved them.
Those who say my party right or wrong however are wrong.
I expect far better from my side.
The surprising new and unexpected leadership that followed Carr is clearly a failure.
It failed the state, the voters and the ALP.
We will now see window dressing from the invisible man, Morris will behead people who never should have been in the house , even with a mop and bucket in their hands.
Morris for those who must rebuild my party leave now please.
For NSWs sake we must look to rebuilding the opposition, even now it is doubtful their could win a raffle.

Could the ALP's dreadful performance in NSW be related to the abysmal standard of the Opposition captured by the religious fanatics?

Any government or official that for eleven years that can condone the abuse of an innocent child all because that child loved his father & people hated his father in-laws included are as sick as the people that perportrate the abuse & then use that influence in another are as low as can be. They could walk erect under a snakes belly. Like I say child abuse must stop
May your lord shine on you all well
God Bless

Then it is up to you and every fair minded person to join the Labor Party to outvote the New South Wales Right Wing Catholics from controlling a great Political Party.
