Members of Parliament resume formal business today in Macquarie Street after the winter recess. The Premier wants his lot "on track". The Legislative Council will re-open for business with the calendar stuck in the final week of June because it ground to a halt.
The fate of Labor rests with figuring out deals either for The Greens or Shooters to come on-side. The Shooters were approached by Graeme Wedderburn about possible trial runs of hunting in national parks. Has everyone forgotten why this predicament came about? The Shooters were dudded because Labor was desperate to pass another bill last June. The Greens agreed to support John Hatzistergos' and Laurie Glanfield's bill as long as Labor dumped on the national parks bill of The Shooters.
As Della Bosca fades into obscurity, one wonders how long will it be before history catches up on Mr Hatzistergos' time as Minister for Health, and in his current run as Attorney General. The problems at the NSW DPP will not vanish overnight no matter how many press releases are issued. Cosmetic make-overs to the surface appearance of the Attorney General's Department will not contain the negative facts about the mess it is in. If only an election could be called!
