A view through the eyes of one who is watching…

Hi all.

Well since I last posted I have been rather occupied, and unfortunately have neglected this blog. I think given the current state of things in politics, I’d like to pick up from where I left off.

I guess this sums the current state of the ALP in NSW. I will be the first to say, that although the opposition has been so woeful in the last few years, I was more than surprised the Government was relected in March 2007. But I believe it will be their last term. No matter how bad the opposition may be, they will get in in March 2011.

After over a decade in power, the ALP is fast coming undone. So many scandals have rocked the Goverment and with all the leadership speculation, the Goverment has now lost whatever credibilty it had.

There is little that can be done to save it. A desperately needed financial injection into the public transport infrastructure comes far too late, and there are not many other carrots left to dangle in front of the voters.

World Youth Day 2008 has been a welcome distraction for the Goverment, but it’s back to business this week.
