GLADYS Berejiklian’s departure is being quietly celebrated among centre-Right Liberal Party members and supporters.
In their view, she has been responsible for implementing one of the most Left-leaning, secretive NSW regimes in living memory.
- Her demise could just as easily have been triggered by disgruntled MPs moving to the cross benches, or the Nationals making good on their threats to walk away from the NSW Coalition or leaks relating to her dealings as minister for transport.
Under the cover of a Liberal banner, Ms Berejiklian went further on abortion, bestiality and climate hysteria than any Labor government could ever dare.
It was ICAC that eventually forced her hand last Friday, October 1 – when a corruption investigation into her secret lover suddenly switched to her.
GRANGE
But her demise could just as easily have been triggered by a handful of disgruntled Liberal MPs moving to the cross benches, or the Nationals making good on their threat to tear-up the NSW Coalition agreement or leaks relating to her dealings as minister for transport.
But as with her predecessor-once-removed, Barry “Grange” O’Farrell, it was ultimately ICAC that forced her hand.
Ms Berejiklian’s sudden resignation as premier and departure from Parliament came an hour after it was confirmed she would become the focus of ICAC’s public hearings.
She will appear before ICAC on October 18 and is expected to answer allegations relating to community grants awarded to her secret boyfriend Daryl Maguire’s former electorate of Wagga Wagga.
The anti-corruption body will also probe whether Ms Berejiklian engaged dishonestly by not reporting potential matters of corruption and whether she allowed or encouraged “corrupt conduct by Mr Maguire” during their relationship.
Politicom looks back at a sad state of affairs which has left NSW weaker and more divided than it was prior Ms Berejiklian’s arrival as premier in 2017.PC
The comments here are very interesting to say the least. I have been around politics, all levels mostly in the background since 1974. I have been advising the govts on a range of policies, including economic. But I have reviewed the latest lockdown release & the economic picture is very bright indeed. By this weekend, despite the inclement weather several billions dollars will be injected into the comunity by the end of this weekend & I expect this to rise once we get those selfish people off welfare, who by the way can get a job almost any where, especially in retail & agriculture.
Forget about her having a bad boyfriend, or her abortion policies. Her main problem was from the public interest viewpoint was her support for renewables, the greens and the green dream. Renewables will send us broke, and will not help the climate at all. 11,000 onshore and offshore windmills in Britain are supposed to generate 20% of their power, but are currently generating about 1.8% of the same. Solar is mainly great in the Australian summer during daylight hours, but can’t power anything either at night, or when the sun isn’t shining in summer. Winter sun and solar are a dud. Solar is great technology when it’s working, but it can’t supply baseload power. We’ve already lost so many manufacturing jobs due to now huge electricity charges, and she was a recipe for future bankruptcy. She did better than the Victorian, SA and Queensland premiers, but had nothing to beat.
Totally spot on Nick and we are going to be in heaps of trouble now that Kean is in charge of the purse strings.
Gladys was a hostage captive to the Marxist left Photios faction …good riddance! What a joke…Green Keen now has his hands on the purse strings…may as well be Adam Bandt! Turn the lights off and get ready for the stone age!
Its a tragedy, Gladys Berejiklian was a very good Premier regardless of her apparently beholden to the “Marxist left Photios faction – read “Turnbull Party” when in office in Federal Government).
But I fear that Matt Green is much worse as a leftist globalist camp follower.
The applicable word is “woke”.
O’Farrell went after bottle of wine. Baird was caught out doing deals with Chinese . Gladys allegedly used Covid to screen some shonky deals and others made a killing from our pain .The division within NSW is something we have never witnessed in NSW. Australia is sick and it is not Covid ( that is hoax) it is Sick Twisted Politicians whom we elect to serve us ,serving themselves and their global elite masters .
The nominal CCCP head of state under Stalin was an etthic Armenian. I don’t think this little dictator princess will be missed either by her own ethnic brethren?
That is an unacceptable comment in my opinion, ethnic background politics should not be relevant, past and today.
There will a lot more questions. But for now I have one. It is heartening to learn that her departure is ‘being quietly celebrated among centre-Right Liberal Party members and supporters’ but, if they get one of theirs to be premier, what are they going to do to roll back Gladys’ Marxist agenda? Are they going to reverse some of her tyrannous and wretched legislation (on many things not only the scamdemic) or are they going to continue to urinate on us and tell us it is raining?
They will dance back & forth and try to save face , when they all were complicit in assisting her efforts at crippling a state beyond repair. Huge debt that will last decades.
People complain about the greatly increased public debt State and Federal since the pandemic started here, but I have not read their financial and economic plans to steer our nation through troubled waters to get back on course.
But I can imagine their complaints if employees and employers had been left unsupported by governments, noting taxpayer’s monies.
And yes of course the financial year interest liabilities will be a burden to future budgets for decades to come, unless in between time Australia gets rid of the too many UN Agreements and Treaties that have held this nation back as manufacturing industry and others declined.
Starting with the Whitlam Government signing the UN Lima Protocol/Agreement to allow most manufacturing industry to transfer to “developing nations” like China.
Consider South Korea that now has a thriving steel manufacturing industry and ship building based on Australian iron ore and coal. Australia still has two steel mills operating but scaled back production. A plan to have a railway line crossing Australia from east to west to carry iron ore, coal and steel products abandoned.
Net zero emissions is economic vandalism to solve a problem that doesn’t in nature exist, climate change is natural Earth Cycles, periods of warmer and colder weather conditions are too. But warmer is the best period to be alive including food supplies being plentiful as compared to cold and very cold periods.
