Rees’s red-​​hot razor: I was right. Mr Premier says that he’s “pulling back” from the metro, and he’s unwill­ing to com­mit to the pro­ject. But should NSW go ahead any­way? Are the long-​​term bene­fits worth the large debts that the state will rack up?

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?
