OLGR portfolio scuttlebutt snares bunnies

Whilst NSW AHA president John Thorpe might have done better with his soundbites, and there are almost audible chuckles at the expense of Star City Casino negotiators who wagered at the table of NSW head croupier Michael Costa, Fairfax Editors and Sun Herald executive will be hard pressed not to consider the recent work of their weekend staff as a contender for the bunny of the portfolio award for 2007, considering the timing of the “one minister” insights published and then today’s passing by cabinet of a bill considered challenging for all sorts of people.

With Premier Iemma personally affirming confidence in OLGR minister West on Sunday, and Graham West today nailing a progressive  Liquor Bill  to the ALP mast, articles on the scale of this will be discussed by journalists in lifts, corridors, at xmas drinks, and by colleagues from university for years to come.
