Are you referring to the same Bob Carr who was NSW Premier from 1995-2005 ? How can it still be his fault ? That was 6 premiers ago !
Yep, I agree with the essence of what you're saying here.
Basically, since then, every Premier has had the opportunity to reverse that decision and so they need to shoulder some of the blame.
I agree 100% with you, Gronk.
Carr started it, and so he needs the biggest kick in the teeth, but there's lashings for every Premier since, too.
In general, I can't believe how lightly the Premiers are getting off. Morrison is copping it but he's just had poor optics, really. Even Daniel Andrews has stated outright that Victoria has received everything they requested in a timely fashion. Morrison's job is to ensure the federals support the states, as these are state based responsibilities. From all accounts he has done that.
Yes, he has looked like a f**kwit in the process but I'm unaware of any instance where the feds have failed to support the requests of the states.
So, why are the states getting off so lightly? Why is everyone dogpiling on Morrison (he deserves a smacking, as well, but his sins are the least of those committed, in my opinion).
We should be dragging our Premiers, past and present, out onto the streets and lynching them.
Why aren't we? Why are they getting off so lightly?
