Dilemma resigns

Earlier today, Friday, the premier of the state of New South Wales, Morris Iemma, resigned from his job and from parliament, making him the first Labor premier in 117 years to resign.

If only he could have persuaded the rest of his cabinet colleagues to do likewise.

A constitutional anomaly apparently prevents the governor of NSW from sacking this state's incompetent, inept, scandal-ridden government.

In the meantime, the people of NSW have to wait until 2011 before they have the chance to change government at the polls.

I know that in our system of government we have to take the good with the bad, but there really is only so much crap that voters can put up with from their elected officials.
