There is this growing cynicism amongst the people of NSW that regardless of which political party is in power that the same problems will exist in the same key areas of policy, so why change?
The main concern with this assumption is that as the Federal Labor party were, the NSW Opposition is untested and quite frankly noone really knows how different their governing practices will actually be. However, there is a stark difference between the peformance of the two respective governments at a federal and state level.
Federally the problems that existed in government were of a much more minor magnitude than those that exist within the NSW political ranks. Bob Carr's government has a lot more to be concerned about especially in relation to the Police force, Health system, education system (and no Im not talking about funding) and the continual mismanagement and misprioritising within the public service.
This gives rise to the fact that at a state level the people of NSW have a much more extensive ground on which they can base their reasoning behind voting for a change of governemnt in 2007 as oppose to the federal election last year.
However despite this thought, the Carr government will be voted back in regardless of their performance in the key policy areas. All because the people of this country are too cynical when it comes to providing state oppostion parties with the chance of being able to prove themselves as effective governing bodies.
