With the exception of Abbott > Turnbull, I can’t think of a time when one Lib was replaced with a better one. If anything, this should be ringing alarm bells, as her ‘tolerance’ of Matt Kean may not be shared by her successor.

“My resignation as Premier could not happen at a worse time, but the timing is completely outside of my control as the ICAC has chosen to take this action during the most challenging weeks of the most challenging times in the history of NSW.
That is the ICAC’s prerogative. Resigning at this time is against every instinct in my being and something which I do not want to do, I love my job, and serving the community, but I have been given no option following the statement issued.
To continue as Premier would disrupt the State Government during a time when our entire attention should be focused on the challenges confronting New South Wales. I do not want to be a distraction from what should be the focus of the state government during this pandemic, which is the well-being of our citizens.
Notwithstanding the challenges of the last few years and few months in particular, I have never felt stronger, nor more confident in my leadership. I have absolutely no regrets during my time in public life. At times we all stumble, pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and start again stronger and wiser than before. I have done this many times, as we all have.
My only regret will be not to be able to finish the job to ensure the people of New South Wales transition to living freely with COVID.
However, I am extremely confident that whoever succeeds me will be more than capable of continuing this job. Please give them your trust and confidence. We will come through this period stronger, more resilient, and appreciating what really matters in life.
I feel strong, energised and optimistic about the future of this great state.”

Perrottet was born in 1982, and raised in West Pennant Hills, Sydney. He is the third eldest of 12 children. His father, John Perrottet, works for the World Bank as the Global Lead for Tourism at the International Finance Corporation, in Washington, DC.
Perrottet was educated at Redfield College in Dural and Oakhill College in Castle Hill. Perrottet was active in student politics while studying commerce and law at the University of Sydney and campaigned for voluntary student unionism. He went on to work as a commercial lawyer for Henry Davis York in the areas of banking restructuring and insolvency law.
Perrottet was the President of the NSW Young Liberals Movement in 2005 and served on the NSW State Executive of the Liberal Party from 2008 to 2011.
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews would not comment on the ICAC investigation, saying only that he had a good working relationship with Ms Berejiklian.
“I work very well with Gladys, always have done. I’m not here to be running a commentary on her, other than to state the absolute fact: that I have always worked very closely with her and I find her to be a person of integrity and a person that works hard for her state and has been an important partner for us. That’s what I know.”
Oh c’m‘on Their ABC, why not draw attention to the other part of it, “I find her to be a person of integrity”, what’s going on then eh¿

“Gladys Berejiklian resigns as NSW Premier after ICAC probe into her relationship with Daryl Maguire announced”
Announced yesterday afternoon I think.
NSW to replace Premier with looped recording of ‘Please Know’
The NSW government has today announced the end to the Berejiklian Premiership, after learning that they could save millions by just replacing the Premier with a looped recording of the words “can I just say”.
“The fact is these daily conferences saying the same thing over and over are a waste of the Premier’s time, when anyone could be doing it,” explained a government representative. “And that’s why we’re pleased to introduce our new official spokesperson, Gladys Beri-stick-fill-in.”
“Equipped with a cutting edge tape loop player, this new high tech humanoid robot can do everything the Premier can, from ignoring press questions, to falling on her face at crucial moments.”
Speaking with the press, the new tape recorder strapped to an upside down mop said that it was ‘in this for the long haul’. “Please know, it’s important that I reject the premise of that question. Obviously, I cannot stress that enough. And can I just say, let me be very clear, it’s important, based on the best health advice, as I’ve been saying for some time now.”

It’s been 1000 days since the Scott Morrison promised to have a national anti-corruption body. We need a National Anti-Corruption commission. One with teeth. One that operates independently of government. One that is able to conduct it’s own enquiries. If the Morrison Government won’t give Australia one, a federal Labor Government will do just that.

Gladys didn’t do ‘bad’ things.
She was just never able to exert any real control over anything.
She was a figurehead, a helmet on a stick raised above the parapet, a mannequin to be rolled out behind the lectern at pressers, nothing more. Someone to ‘represent’ the government while the govt MPs got on with their pork-barreling and under-the-counter deals.
She couldn’t control her own party/govt, she couldn’t control her dipshit boyfriend’s dealings with and promises to his criminal-suspect pals, she had to accede to pressure from Canberra more than once, she was beholden to lobbyists.
The real wonder is that she put up with it as long as she did.

Not sure we agree that crisis is a bad time to be a leader, that would depend on whether one’s skill is leadership.

Bring Back The Boys Club
“I cannot predict how long it will take the ICAC to complete this investigation, let alone deliver a report, in circumstances where I was first called to give evidence at a public hearing nearly 12 months ago.”
When it comes down to it, Berejiklian realised that the office of the premier — and the person behind the desk — needs to be above reproach.
She’s helped to ensure that in standing down.
Right, 12 months of helping to ensure it, makes sense.

The LNP is rorty but semi competent. The ALP is neither.
I’m not convinced they are either less rorty or less competent than the Libnats.
I have approximately zero evidence to measure the rortiness, but the available evidence suggests to me that they are actually a good deal more competent.

You don’t remember Kevin Rudd’s thought bubble reforms? Every few weeks he’d announce a big new reform of a particular sector without thinking it through, and then when the problems were pointed out he’d quietly drop the idea, only to launch a new big thought bubble program the next week. It was Gillard that got the NDIS scheme through eventually, most of the other reforms died in the arse and went nowhere.

No, that was Peter Garrett. Rudd hung around for a long time after that, he was gotten rid of by his own party because he was behind in the polls and leading them to defeat at the next election.

A new leader will be elected in one of two ways.
One option is that the Government Whip could conduct a secret ballot, whereby each party member would vote for their preferred nominee.
A Liberal party room meeting has been scheduled for this Tuesday, where that vote could take place.
Alternately, deals could be struck behind the scenes between party factions, meaning a candidate could be promoted to Premier without a vote taking place.
If that happens, the successful candidate could lay claim to the top job as early as tomorrow.

They were going to demolish the purpose-built museum to make way for apartments, came up with stupid-looking plans for a replacement site in Parramatta, which included the demolition of a heritage site there, then had a “last day the museum will be open, ever”, then changed their minds about closing it, on that last day etc. It’s ongoing.

Setting aside the corruption and the slackness regarding Covid restrictions, GB was one of the better Libs going: genuine middle of the road centrist, socially moderate who got the abortion law reforms through: nothing crazy or extreme, no tolerance for the batshit right.
As the Deputy Liberal leader and Treasurer I suppose that Perrotet is the natural successor, but I suppose it is possible that someone from GB’s own faction will get up.

If he was maybe he wouldn’t feel the need to burden the World with an excessive number of children, which he doesn’t even need to support him in his old age.

Apparently he believes in combining right-wing libertarianism with Catholic traditionalism, resulting in an ethos that can be summed up as:
I’m alright mate, screw you
and
Ban abortions

It seems a little strange that so many “practicing Christians” seem to forget that their founding leader preached consistently against the first attitude, and (as far as I know) had nothing to say about the second.

Barnaby Joyce compares the New South Wales Independent Commission Again Corruption to the Spanish Inquisition.
The federal Opposition is again renewing calls to establish a federal anti-corruption body, but Mr Joyce today criticised the basic function of the NSW integrity commission.
“The process of ICAC is lauded by people who want greater power for minority groups against the wishes of the majority, that’s how I see it,” Mr Joyce told Channel Seven.
“This is not the great sort of righteous process – it’s a little bit like the Spanish Inquisition.
“We elect politicians, not bureaucrats. People should be the final arbiter of whether they want someone or not.”

Joyce, eh. I’d like to know how else we might find out whether a politician or public servant is actually corrupt or not without a mechanism for testing the notion. I seems to me that Joyce is advocating no tests for corruption, so we can’t properly know.

Many possibilities. But without tests for corruption, how can we know whether it’s because…

Because he was corrupt? Poor boy.
A statement from Jordan Shanks regarding John Barilaro’s resignation.
John Barilaro had the gall to use his final press conference to defame me as a racist.
That in itself is a vile and offensive accusation about me that anyone following these issues can see straight through.
He dodged, weaved and bristled when asked about the substantive and serious allegations that our videos have exposed.
This is a man who lists his achievements over the course of a decade in government as the destruction of Kosciuszko National Park. Well done John.
After a decade of proudly advancing his interests and blaming other people for his mistakes, what a fitting way to go out.
He may be able to dodge questions in a press conference but I doubt he’ll be able to in a courtroom.
Bruz.

An MP has been subject to vile and racist attacks by someone calling himself a Friendly Geordie, which have been likened to the Spanish Inquisition.
The MP documentary on the Spanish Inquisition was set in Jarrow, which is on Tyneside, and thus a home of Geordies.
A coincidence?
I think not.
