NSW TAXPAYERS TO FOOT BILL

It was reported on Wednesday March 25, 2009 that taxpayers will foot the bill for a 20 day tour by Finance Minister Joe Tripodi as part of NSW Labor’s plan to sell off the State’s Power industry to overseas companies.

With the NSW budget devastated, Joe Tripodi will fly out for New York, London, Europe and China within the next couple of weeks for an international “action.”

The State Labor Government is turning to foreign bidders to find $10 billion for the sale.  A spokesman for Mr Tripodi agreed a trip was being planned but nothing had been finalised.

So far 40 meetings with pot6ential buyers were scheduled across 12 countries over a period of 17 days.  Unions are bitterly opposed to the sell-off of the State’s power assets to overseas companies more so Chinese interests.

Should this power utility be sold-off, the following NSW ALP (Australian Labor Party Parliamentary Members would be responsible for this treacherous act.

The NSW Legislative Assembly (Lower House).

Should those Labor members of both Houses listed above approve the sale of NSW power then at least we know who betrayed us.

As for the Barry O’Farrell – Andrew Stoner led Liberal-National Coalition they appear to be deadly silent on the sale.
