Yes every word true, some on all sides only enter Parliament to formalize an already criminal lifestyle and intent.
And no one is any different no firm no organization is free of it.
Christmas sees filth, single person firms who never pay the right wages, giving the highest priced drinks, cartons of them, to its customers and even union people low enough to take it.
Construction, so intent on blaming unions, has far worse crimes rewarded with great masses of cash and kind, some get new homes for turning their heads.
But I can not compare the criminal actions of those two governments with the rude crude self interest of some in my party right now.
Even worse is the betrayal of every past member or builder of the ALP by the factions who put useless beggars in power.
I expect factions to have new leaders inside and outside of my party by mid next year.
Party first.
That,, sad as it seems is true for only a few,some who condemn me for my passion never ever think my party first, they blindly look only to self interest and forget the long proud history of workers and the ALP

Interesting day.
The nice American lady fronting the NSW ALP Government shut Parliament down two months early.
She or those controlling her strings,did not want the opposition to? talk about the power sell off.
And the belief it was at give away prices, and more, yes even than QLD price rises are a result.
The house on the hill, so well known in Labor mythology, is indeed heading back to kero lamps, maybe wood fires to cook on, and coppers for baths.
Bought to us by my dysfunctional lost,and idle NSW ALP,.
What next,50% tax on fire wood.

I do think Kristina Keneally is the worse Premier of NSW since Tom Lewis in 1975. Then if you were nothing more than the political love child of Joe Tripodi and Eddie Obeid you would have to be disgusting too. The good news is The Greens are working very hard to win the seat of Marrickville with Fiona Byrne and Balmain with Jamie Parker, two outstanding candidates. To show I have no political bias good luck to Bruce Notley-Smith in Coogee and Michael Daley in Maroubra hope they both do well. As for Keneally we should all hope she gets the flick in Heffron in favour of The Greens Mehreen Faruqi.

Paul 1405 just saw your post.
I think as an ALP activist every leader from the day Carr left would have been worse than Lewis.
This one was never other than a puppet to the grubs you mention.
I would have 12 months ago, been in your camp, helping the greens.
But not now, Bob Brown lost me this time.
For me, and your side this is an election that is lost but interesting.
Labor has so betrayed its followers it has driven many to your mob.
And others like me are intent on not letting our preferences go green.
The intense interest for me is how well will they go?
Of the possible out comes this is sure Labor is thrashed.
Already.
And that is the best out come for the party, lets start rebuilding.
I do not see, may be wrong, greens making much ground, more yes than now,the best ever in this state but.
Wandering about work sites I heard public employees clearly tell me enough!
Like every election I am just as interested as Antony Green, this time in the ranks of the also rans.

Hi Belly, I resigned from the Labor Party years ago and joined The Greens. Labors has had 20 years to get back to its 'grass roots' but unfortunately it now sits in no mans land grasping at right wing populist policies to which the conservatives would be proud of. Labor talk of rebuilding and a new direction is just that, talk, the reality is like the Liberal Party, Labor is firmly in the pocket of big business and its vested interests and there is no escape.
As for the upcoming NSW election there are no safe Labor seats. In Heffron Labor is showing its usual contempt for voters, safe Labor seat, Keneally don't have to do nothing to get re-elected, so they think. We have plenty of ammunition to throw at the Premier, gas drilling in St Peters, power sell off, 3A legislation, the list goes on. Then there is the unthinkable, a preference deal with the Liberals, shock horror, The Greens run a close second to Keneally and with preferences goodbye Ms Keneally.
