But he is actually the kind of person most people try to avoid.<br /><br />It will be very interesting to see how the new NSW government turns out. If they are to do more good than harm they will need to learn very quickly the difference between introducing policy changes and defaulting on contractual obligations entered into by the previous government.Winton Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383561940886657594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1089082204850170942.post-71110140245193758952011-05-17T12:31:07.740+10:002011-05-17T12:31:07.740+10:00I'd like to meet Jim.
Ironically the ratings...I'd like to meet Jim. <br /><br />Ironically the ratings agency has today given the NSW government a triple AAA finance rating. What wasn't mentioned in the news bulletin was the CCC confidence rating... Surely the latter is going to impact on that oh so precious and as you say, oh so worthless credit rating. And it does matter what that is, that determines how cheaply the State government can get us further into debt.<br /><br />As an add on, imagine working for the NSW government in any environmental capacity. What was the Department of Environment (etc etc) has been swept up into the Dept of Premier and Cabinet, and natural resources has been amalgamated into Dept of Primary Industries. And environmental initiatives are disappearing quicker than you can work out who the environment minister is! Welcome back to short term politics. It will be interesting what the next four years holds for us.Shonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10452583402552876295noreply@blogger.com
