You just know this is a disaster before it starts

"All aboard O'Farrell's rail funding express"

UNDETERRED by the state's ugly record in teaming up with the private sector for big transport developments, the O'Farrell government is asking financiers how they would like to pay for its signature rail project.

1st sign they cannot make the hard decisions as promised looks like business as usual for NSW

"O'Farrell abandons plan to cut solar tariff"

WEEKS of campaigning by the solar energy industry and the threat of a backbench revolt have forced the Premier, Barry O'Farrell, to dump plans to cut the tariff paid to participants in the solar bonus scheme.

I still believe that attempt was doomed to failure and should never have been published. Suggesting you reverse a law that's encouraged people to spend thousands, is suicidal; it would never have stood up against challenges in court.
The only effect it had was creating concern if not fear that NSW, if not Australia as a whole, could rival South Africa and some Asian countries in terms of Sovereign Risk.
Nice try, O'Farrell

Maybe he was just testing the water.

I did not know once you were premier, you could not change your mind.
Years ago that would not have been a headline.

These days with the technology, if you "fart" the media have you changing your undies.
Cheers

NSW is already broke thanks to labor. BO has to sort out the mess they left behind. Labor is so hated in the state that at a local election the members hid the labor icon on their election posters with post it notes. The local council election in my area (which was thrown out for corruption and yes once again labor) has labor members running under the guise of independents because the labor brand is so toxic to their chances And you think libs have problems
My fear is that the greens are getting a stronger foothold in nsw and labor is losing a lot of ground with their core voters.

My area was a labor stronghold to boot

State NSW Labor certainly deserved everything they had coming and more 100% their own making but remember that weak opposition feeds bad government, you now have one of the weakest opposition's going hopefully OF can handle it I did think he looked poor in opposition but he deserves the benefit of the doubt.
