Werd on both counts, but I would've preferred to see the little ***** voted out. We as a community should now charge him a Parliament Exit Fee™.

Only when bob hands back the services of NSW-1 and has the opportunity to utilise his lifetime free public use of public transport will he truely grasp the damage he and his team of blow-hards have done!

A bloke call Carr who cannot drive one has to be suspect in my books, Bus & train for Bob, couldn't happen to a nicer rat-bag.

**M&Ms** · 27-07-2005, 01:56 PM

Does this mean the tollgates are going??? I remember this as one of his finest election promises.
Now here's to hoping he suffers like the rest of us public transport users :evil3:

RED_EL_XR8 · 27-07-2005, 11:50 AM

Carr has done more damage than the vandals, he can be remembered for his services to employment of spin doctors and the Environmental Impact Study industrustry.

THe whole scenaria is remeniscent of events in Victoria when Joan Kirner was handed the role of Stunt Premier after the damage had been done and that state was near bankruptcy. The situations are amazingly similar.

**FTE217** · 27-07-2005, 12:26 PM

Best news of the day !!!!!
Wish we got the opportunity to vote him out but half the Sheep would have voted for him anyway because he's Labour and my Dad voted Labour and before that.......
Wooohooo 1 State Labour fool out of the way.

Lets not rejoice until we see if his replacement is any less a half-wit...

I agree totally Steffo. I think we could end up a lot worse off with heir Scully. And worse still, we still don't have an organised opposition to take advantage!!!!

Just got this one in from work.

From: Col Gellatly [mailto:Col.Gellatly@premiers.nsw.gov.au]
Sent: Wednesday, July 27, 2005 11:45 AM
Subject: PREMIER'S ANNOUNCEMENT

The Premier has announced that he intends to resign as Premier. The ALP Parliamentary Party will elect a new leader who will then be sworn in by the Governor as the new Premier.

The effect of the resignation of a Premier is that commissions for all Ministers lapse, and consequently a new Government will need to be sworn in. The allocation of portfolios will be a matter for the new Premier.

Premier Carr remains Premier with full authority and power until he actually submits his resignation to the Governor. CEOs and public servants should continue to carry out their functions as usual.

That kind of cynicism leads to the darkside.

Meh, one pollie down... so many more to go :nutsycuck

There's a bit of a rumour running about that he has been offered a position with GMH. With the demise of the Opel Omega, Holden is on the lookout for a replacement Carr.

I wouldn't be saying Bob gave us WSID anywhere near Jim Reid & Co, NSW Government provided assistance, but they far from provided the facility. :eclipsee_
