SM what you say is pertinent.
But all the same Barry has signed off on new CSG licenses, and nobody except those who will gain (a miniscule minority) want it, but he went ahead, the bastards want to drill in St Peters, what next George Street, they have already hooked into the Liverpool Plain, it is a big issue to many of us who do embrace common sense mining.

He has signed off on Utility rate rises, and if he flogs our Electricity off, as DD said it will cost jobs, and really there is not much other to discuss re Barry's second hibernation but on the other side of the house this term. So we are left to discuss EXPECTATIONS and here is my overview, comparison and analysis of NSW’s plight.

California has a projected State revenue of $83 Billion
California has a population of 37 Million
NSW has a projected State revenue of $60 Billion
NSW has a population of 7 Million
A comparison as basic as this speaks volumes about government waste/ corruption and the shabby delivery of services to the mugs of Australia. If Barry cannot find just 10%, just $6 Billion to give back to the taxpayers out of a $60 Billion revenue stream to service a measly 7 million plebs then is a dud.

By the figures above if NSW had a population of 37 million like California Barry would need a revenue stream of $300 Billion to do the job.

Belly I knew you would not be pleased with Barry's performance, but you did well to send a message to Sussex Street, I would have loved to be a fly on the wall in your ballot booth.

Lexi my bohemian Balt I have said before it is quality and passion that is lacking in our elected reps, and I believe it is a generational thing, they are all groomed, what you see aint whats there.
What you said regarding "we will re build Victoria if", sorting out the "if" with the money they take from us is what we pay them to do surely

Dear SOG,

No arguments from me on that score.

"Bohemian Balt?" Nah.
Baltic Goddess would be more apt.

Dear SOG,

What do I call you?
If you're going to call me "Belle,"
Then should I call you "Beast?"

I'd prefer to use a more flattering statement
for you. Like:

"Bei Mir Bist Du Shayn!"

SOG to fully understand that election day in March,and the ALP refugees we need to be honest.
I confirmed my betrayal,in fact my act was in defense of the ALP two years before.
It was the first time I did not man a booth.
First year some booths never existed.
I think because, like me,LABOR MEMBERS did not want to be seen supporting a maggot in festered thing named self interest, once, now again, my party.
We reduced the party that history shows is the natural government of this state to a billy cart it still is today.
But we plank by plank are turning it in to its former, pre Sussex street self.
Barry should be given his chance,we all should consider dysfunctional upper houses, rid our selves of the silliness of them.
And with great confidence and time, more than some want,Barry will return the ALP to government.
