THE examples of poor judgment by Labor during its 13 years in office in NSW are legion. But former premier Bob Carr's decision to scrap the state's overseas trade posts is not one of them.

... Howard released scores written by Alan Jones when the Herald sought them under FoI, so too did Bob Carr along with many of his ministers. But not the ABC. To understand why the ABC can ignore most FOI requests, you need to go back to 2006 after journalism students from the University of Technology, Sydney, had taken the broadcaster to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal for refusing their...

... undertakings, it is 1.4 per cent. The main problem with government policy in NSW stems from the Carr government over-reacting to the collapse of the Victorian and South Australian economies under Labor governments almost two decades ago. Falling over each other to proclaim their financial virtue, Bob Carr and treasurer Michael Egan promised to eliminate all government debt and backed...
