Priorities Mr O’Farrell

The NSW Government has decided to commit $250 million to upgrade ANZ Stadium. At the same time the government is cutting back spending on hospitals and law and order.

ANZ Stadium is in perfectly good condition, but our hospitals are old and need rebuilding. Crime is a real worry, yet there will be fewer prosecutors to see that criminals get the justice they deserve.

But what does that matter to the government? As long as footy fans are happy, Barry O’Farrell will be on a winner. But not the sick or victims of crime. They can’t shout over the noise of the crowd.

The federal election will be in late November

The Prime Minister has not guaranteed to honour the election date of 14th September, set by former Prime Minister Julia Gillard.

My guess is that Mr Rudd will wait until late November. He will have served for three years as PM, on and off, and that will be a milestone for him. He may also believe that the longer he waits the better his chances.

My guess is just a guess, and is as good as anyone’s at the moment.

When do you think the election will be?
