Margo Kingston in an article entitled 'Green Steel' drove her finger on the pulse when she suggested that colourful boys from the right wing should take time out from twisting their knickers over who to blame and look in the mirror:
'The Cunningham defeat is not about poor Simon Crean. It's about the NSW Right and the NSW Premier Bob Carr, who until recently managed to convince voters he had clean hands despite the ugliness of the faction he is in. Good man, Bob, even as his government planned to sell public land all over Sydney to developers and flog off public schools to developers. Bob Carr, Mr Clean, is no such thing. Paul Keating has publicly begged Labor to ban developers making donations to political parties, citing horrific overdevelopment which is ugly to boot. No, says Carr. Carr the complicit.'
