New NSW Labor leader a tool
Mar 31^st, 2011 at 9:34pm

FORMER Labor transport minister and union boss John Robertson has vowed to be the "most energetic" opposition leader NSW has ever seen.

Mr Robertson, 48, was the only MP to stand for the state leadership when the Labor caucus met today in the wake of Saturday's devastating election defeat.

He promised to overturn voters' distrust for Labor through hard work.

"I will lead a Labor Party that will stand up and fight - fight for the little people, fight for working people, fight for the people who struggle every single day to make ends meet," he said.

Who caused all this in the last 16 years?

So your party have not been fighting for the little people, the working people and those who are struggling then what have you been doing in the last 16 years?

You are a tool!

He has been hanging around his union labor mates too long. It might work for him to sound straight (while his head spins) around his labor mates but I heard him today and was not moved with the impression he was trying to give us.

Time will tell but that also gives us time to look at this guys history as well.

And now he wants to get all energetic.

Get a grip veg., the leader of any party is supposed to be more than a watcher and reporter. Grin
