"Bob Carr has a sharp mind and tongue which labor need. When he talks he sounds he has some authority"

Vomit, double vomit.

<< Ludwig ,China can handle rapid pop and economic growth.They've have growth of 9-12% for the last 10 yrs.Why cannot NSW do this? >>

A question well worth asking, Arjay.

China’s economic growth has enormous downsides, as Poirot has pointed out.

( I note particularly no 21 from Poirot’s link:

< In Some areas of China people’s lives were threatened because of the environmental pollution. Residents suffering from all kinds of obscured diseases, the cancer villages, increase of deformed babies, these were the results of sacrificing environment and blindly seeking economical gain. > )

Obviously, NSW doesn’t want growth like that.

NSW has got a dynamic economy just like the rest of the country. What more could have been done to boost it to the level that would be necessary to provide real tangible benefits to the average quality of life for the whole community, where there is rapid population growth, without causing major negative factors?

Arjay, if you were Bob Carr in the 1990s, how would you have created real meaningful sustained economic growth?

Pictures as those from China have been going around for a long time but has anyone been affected sufficiently to change the situation ? Of course not. It's much easier to ask for more of everything. The pro-growth brigade both industry & Union should be forced to have such pictures hanging in their offices. Would be interesting if compassion could possibly dampen greed by a minute degree. Let's start with the non-productive workforce paying a poor tax to help those who can't make a living as a parasite.

Individual,

For your information, Greiner and Fahey were Premiers between 1988 and 1995.

Carr didn't start until 1995 and won on a campaign based on the waste and mismanagement of his Liberal predecessors as well as adverse corruption findings and other such matters.

Some of us have long memories.

Some of us have long memories.
Wobbles,
that's funny, how then do you not remember that the whole of the public service is Labor even when there is a coalition Government.
Just imagine how much worse it could have been if there weren't any Coalition Governments before Carr.

Ludwig ,If I were Bob Carr with the knowledge I have now,I would have created a new State Bank that had the power of credit creation to equal the productivity of the State.Money is not wealth.Money is the symbol of productivity.The private financial system have hijacked the real purpose of money.They turned it into a commodity which perverts the true intent of human endeavour.

The other innovation would be to cut back the size of the Public Service.

Our economies are collapsing right now in a sea of debt,or money starvation.Right now private banks own our increases in productivty and loan it back to us as debt.ie Debt slavery.

How is it that the US Fed a private group of banks have created over $ 30 trillion since 2008 and still the US economy falters? They are putting this money into their ponzy derivative scams while the real economy starves.
