No man has any right to rule who is not better than the people over whom he rules.

Elections NSW Premier Bob Carr and Ms Grusovin had not spoken to each other

The silence on the Sydney crisis - in waste water, solid waste, public transport, roads, bush fires through short sighted overdevelopment, you name it - is deafening.

Sydney residents live the mess and regional NSW suffers the pain of unemployment and the desertion of services for lack of a decentralisation plan.
