Why, is it because you like their-

Financial management skills
Fighting corruption
Enjoy the regular leader change
Think their current leader is hot ?

I would like to hear one reason to vote for them

Yes. Stability in Keneally is also good.

 

[Lolsmith]

Keneally is pretty rockin' tbh

There goes a lot of the undecided voters.

?? This has been one of the most unstable governments we've seen in the history of NSW.

Also, are you with the Labor party? I suspect you are.

To be fair, before Rees there was ten consecutive years of Carr and Refshauge both of whom resigned at a time of their choosing and handed power over to Iemma and Watkins who were elected unopposed and lead for more than three years( a greater length than the premierships of Fahey, Unsworth, Willis, Lewis or Renshaw). I detest Kenneally herself and the fact that the sort of people who support her are presently in control of the caucus but ultimately the reason this government is a dead duck isn't incompetence, it's just old.

I agree completely with this, however he was talking about stability in Keneally and I was referring to the Kenally government. Scandal after scandal, coupled with an avalanche of resignations is hardly a sound definition of stability.

No, I am not affiliated with any party.

Labor is pretty stable actually. The Liberals are certainly not any better.

The colony (now state) of NSW is still glorious.

I think even Bob Carr's come out in favour of the Libs

 

[davidbarnes]

Federal Liberals want to bring back industrial relations laws (i.e. WorkChoices) as reported in The Australian today: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/nat...strial-relations/story-fn59noo3-1226011227105

have they learnt nothing from their 2007 defeat?

wrong thread

this is state election discussion not Federal Lib backbencher pushes for *discussion* on industrial relations reforms

 

[Lentern]

Actually he wrote a fantastic article to the tune of "I just can't understand why we're not cruising to victory"

I made a new thread. At the end of the day, the federal and state Liberal ideologies are the same. Are you trying to imply Barry O'farrel does not support WorkChoices?

 

[davidbarnes]

Do you have a link to that?

 

[Lentern]

Do you have a link to that?

Not for you.

 

[zombie omie jay]

whether he supports it or not is irrelevant

it isnt state govt domain you idiot



you dont even know what the reforms could entail, how can you write it off without knowing what they are actualyl proposing to do? are you seriously suggesting that all industrial relations reform is bad?

After seeing what WorkChoices done, yes. Industrial reform by the Liberals is bad for the average worked. Unless you are a millionaire you should fear the Liberals when they mention the words industrial reform.
