Bob Carr Resigns
- Thread starter see_change
- Start date
And the Qld Health Minister was asked to resign.
Then the Qld Treasurer Terry Mackenroth resigned the day after the reshuffle.
Then the director general of Qld Health was sacked.
Then Peter Beattie made himself Treasurer.
Labour factions certainly are busy.
Not to mention federally. Word is Beasley is on the out.
Alan Kohler wrote an interesting article some time ago about how union power has been eroded by the working class' rising foray into investment property. Having to service IP debt regularly means workers are less inclined to go on strike.

Bob Carr
he had 7 years with the chalice before 10 years as premier

Good. Beazley's a useless leader — no offence intended, Kim.
He was beaten by Howard twice, and is only leader of the Labor party now because no one else challenged him when Latham resigned.
In my view, the majority of the public don't want Beazley as a leader or prime minister.

Peter Costello.....
He's more likely to make prime minister that way....
Good riddance
Carr's policies have had the following detrimental results from not investing enough in infrastructure
- delayed trains
- ageing road network
- poor water quality
- poor water quantity
- less hospital beds
- cuts in education
Sure, we got budget surpluses and the Olympics, but if you don't invest sooner or later the car will breakdown (pun intended).
Maybe we'll get some balance now

Carr is a consumate politician.
He's run down NSW and still got re-elected four times!
He managed to divert the blame for the exit tax to his treasurer.
He's now leaving just before NSW collapses in a heap - so anything bad that happens get blamed on his successor (no wonder he's not handpicked one).
You've got to admire the man!
Where's his investment properties again?

Who says politicians can't make good decisions. Shame it comes at the end.
i haven't been able to catch the news in detail today - although i did hear he has resigned - what was carr's reason for going? asides from a stupid desalination plant (do we live in a desert?), allowing all public infrastructure to deteriorate despite having record budget income and slogging the investors who provide housing for those in need?
in a word: yay

The real question is... does John Brodgen (state lib leader) have a chance now?
NSW is getting lazy state wise. Change would be good.
