Sounds like a yank (is/was-dual?), but anyhow . . . .

Shame about the other hangers on. Born in Ohio, mmm - wonder if she'll make us do 55Mph (88km/h) max, and force us to drive LHD cars lol :-))

Notes to self, check NSW Constitution.....

Shame about the sleazy hangers on.

Kristina's father is American and her mother is Australian. Kristina was born and educated in the USA and is married to an Australian she met overseas at a World Council of Churches type meeting.

troystanton78 · 03-12-2009, 09:01 PM

and shes in the pocket of Joe tripodi and eddie obead, maybe even frank sartor, heaven help us all, its time for them to go

**redxm** · 03-12-2009, 09:03 PM

surely she cant do any worse

troystanton78 · 03-12-2009, 09:06 PM

she may well be exactly what the labor party needs, if she leads by herself, but, there must have been deals struck with the 3 mentioned below,

**Giant Cranium** · 03-12-2009, 09:09 PM

she will be a puppet like all the ones that came before.
nothing will ever change.
nath was alright and a good bloke to. (did renos on his house)

troystanton78 · 03-12-2009, 09:11 PM

still he didn't grow a pair until today, when at the 11th hour he gives it to them, should have done it a long time ago and he'd still be there and the state would probably be moving forward

**Giant Cranium** · 03-12-2009, 09:13 PM

oh yeh he is soft. but that came from being under qualified

Tokyo Geoff · 03-12-2009, 09:14 PM

I thought Nathan was okay EXCEPT he was the only one keen to spend several billion on that stupid metro project. How about the poor schmucks out in the north west with only the M2?

Mark^^ · 03-12-2009, 09:15 PM

NSW needs another Joe Cahill

troystanton78 · 03-12-2009, 09:15 PM

exactly

The G6ET Spot · 03-12-2009, 09:24 PM

March 2011 cannot come soon enough. These clowns all should be taken out onto Macquarie Street and run over by the first bus that comes along.

They are all in it too get as much out of the system as they can before they get booted.

troystanton78 · 03-12-2009, 09:27 PM

damn straight, but somehow they keep getting voted in, it'll happen again, if K. Rudd keeps throwing money at people. the ill informed don't recognise the difference between state and federal, just see the dollars from a labor govt and will vote them in again

||| · 03-12-2009, 09:41 PM

she's our answer to sarah palin. keep the boys inline foxy lady

Fairlane · 03-12-2009, 09:45 PM

Refuse to vote for her and im an ALP voter. I do not like one thing about her.

troystanton78 · 03-12-2009, 09:50 PM

the only problem is what does the oppostion offer, at this moment you may aswell bang your head against a rock, 15 months till election, hopefully someone somewhere comes up with something worth voting for

MO · 03-12-2009, 10:24 PM

Good grief,shes still wet behind the ears.

reece1 · 03-12-2009, 10:38 PM

politics in general is laughable in this country at the moment.what happened to what the public voters wanted.

FGII-XR6 · 04-12-2009, 12:06 AM

I have no issue with a woman in the job what I do have an issue with is having a yank running the state she was born in the US and her father is American to me that should rule her out
this just proves how out of touch NSW labour is with the people , bring on 2011

**ebxr8240** · 04-12-2009, 12:12 AM

They have an Austrian running California...

Both sides in NSW are not worthy of being in office !!!

FGII-XR6 · 04-12-2009, 12:34 AM

Well in LIB terms, the people have spoken, NO to ETS and like tax deals till after Copenhagen at least.

I'd like a fed senate study with wide references into the whole climate change business that include the leaked email and backlash resulting from that. A subject elsewhere on all that here @ forum.

Paxton · 04-12-2009, 01:57 AM

This will be the shortest term a Premier has been in power. Fifteen months.

She is just what NSW needs. An American Born puppet, who will do nothing more than Carr, Iemma and Rees. Two of those 'Premiers' we did not vote for in the first instance (Iemma managed to win an election), but we have had two in a row that do not deserve to be there.

Oh yes, I'll add this, I'm a Liberal, but I can't see myself voting at all in 2011. Neither side have impressed thus far.

Keepleft · 04-12-2009, 02:19 AM

Paxton,

I'd not be so dismissive of NSW opposition, Nats Andrew Stoner is fighting the ongoing campaign against vehicle height business (YouTube his channel name) and they have accepted some 'new directions' in road safety. Rem that in a coalition, a 'private members bill' becomes organisational policy.

I can and do expect some RTA organisational turmoil ahead. They will inherit a 'deep mess'.

Regardless of ones political leaning, many or most MP's have Facebook pages (and Tweets) and most do manage that privately, some with staffer help.

how about the rest of the state? it is bigger than sydney you realise

**Polyal** · 04-12-2009, 10:12 AM

Oh give her a chance, Im not there and care little but jeez you cant crucify her on the first day.

Although after seeing Anna's Blighs effort then I can understand why NSW would be nervous.

If you had any idea about the State of the NSW State Government, and the fact that we have had three premiers in three years (only one that we actually could vote for), and a 'Government' that is being controlled by the Party itself, not their constituents, then you would see why we in NSW are so dismissive of this latest stunt.

Stoner is from the mid north coast and he wouldn't know where clybucca is unless he was told where it was.

NC1183 · 04-12-2009, 05:58 PM

There's more to this state then Newcastle Sydney Woollongong to you realise, how about a far go out on the other side of the great dividing range for once.

Out here we've just had the speed limited dropped on one of the states biggest and boringest highway's which has very few overtaking lanes. So now cars are travelling at the same speed as 20t semi's and 50t road-trains. If these dim-witted morons got there lieing rear ends out here and tried to overtake one of these said vehicles like most of us country folk have to do on a regular basis there would be carnage

They umm and arr about building an inland rail corridor that would result in safer roads and build the economy of inland/outback NSW which would help build the states economy.
