This was a response to a column by Janet Albrechtsen in "The Australian". http://blogs.theaustralian.news.com.au/janetalbrechtsen/index.php/theaustralian/comments/beware_the_faceless_men_of_nsw/
One can only guess where all these wrong decisions (not to privatise electricity or Cessnock jail, being the more recent ones)will eventually place the already tenuous finances of Australia’s largest state.
Do the union bosses who control this pathetic government have no conscience whatsoever - that they can allow their state to become bankrupt?
There is no doubt that the public sector unions have, through the weak Carr/Iemma and now Rees Governments held the productive people of NSW to ransom. Whilst the union officials and hundreds of thousands of (mostly unnecessary) NSW Government employees are living on clover, ordinary people in NSW are doing it hard as the recession bites and REAL world jobs become scarce.
Off the subject slightly, but here in the NT the Martin and Henderson Labor Governments have all but created a clone of the failed state of NSW.
All the same ingredients have been poured into the “stew”; 3,000 extra public servants have been hired since Labor came to power: rules, regulations and taxes are on the increase, and a host of grandiose (but mostly unnecessary) public expenditure projects have been undertaken. Whilst, like NSW the levels of productivity in Police, Education, Health and Power-Generation have become abysmal.
Yes the southern Labor disease that has crippled NSW has already made its mark here in the NT. And now with the recession and without Costello to keep the money supply coming I do not see us avoiding becoming a full-blown casualty of the NSW Labor sickness - a virtual tropical clone of that failed southern state.
