New South Wales, a sorry affair

So we have a new Premier. But Joe I’m-very-popular Tripodi and Eric Let’s-build-some-more-roads Roozendaal are still there. And I’m very confident the new Premier is just going to pull $10 billion out of his rear end to build the metro now that the power sell-off has fizzled. Sigh. Update: Miraculously, they’re now Finance Minister and Treasurer respectively. According to Wikipedia, our esteemed Treasurer started his Commerce degree but never managed to finish it. And now he’s in charge of a $47.6bn budget?
