The Iemma dilemma
Morris Iemma surely must go down as a case of political suicide, falling on his own sword after sacking the man who pulls all the strings in the NSW ALP.
Will Nathan Rees dare to kick “Climates Change” Costa off the front bench? Something tells me that he’ll still be treasurer by the end of the day. In the meantime, I can hear the jostling for frontbench positions all the way from Chatswood. Fingers crossed that at least Rees has the good sense to give Sartor his marching orders.
I think the best thing to come out of this turmoil is that it might keep voters away from Meredith Burgmann next weekend. Clover Moore might be crazy, but having her in charge is a much better idea than handing the city back to developers.
Meanwhile, the ALP are now at $2.10 to win the next state election. Given the overarching stupidity of both the NSW public and the shadowy figures pulling the strings at the NSW Liberal party, I don’t think it’s such a bad bet.

$2.10 eh?
I'll take that.
