Agree. One shouldn't assume that Labor will just carry on from where they left off in 2011. It is after all 8 years ago, which is an eternity in politics. I would think they would be much smarter than that and learn the lessons from their defeat. Michael Daly seems to be a more astute political operator than Luke Foley, which is evidenced by his high approval rating with only a limited time in the leadership role. The greatest failing of the current government, in spite of the huge infrastructure program, is the lack of transparency in their decision making, much of which has been made behind closed doors, ignoring public feed-back from community consultation. The C&SELR fiasco; the North West Rail Link community consultation process morphing into an incompatible metro and taking over the Epping to Chatswood Rail link, without being suggested as an option prior to consultation; conversion of the Bankstown Line to metro against the wishes of the local community; relocating the Powerhouse Museum to Parramatta before a business case had been released; ignoring Parramatta City Council's preliminary light rail feasibility study recommendations; Ausgrid privatisation deal which has now come to light; Sydney Ports' privatisation and the stadiums. Need I go on?Going to be impacted by Federal stenchAs the fourth poster...Glady's is a dead woman walking...
No effective oppositionHasn't done enough wrong
Plenty of cash splashed
Should get back in easily
Daly is kicking some early goals (eg stadiums).Wont be as easy as we think, IMO....
