As I said last week the parlour games will continue over the role of the Shooters Party in the Legislative Council. Today's Sydney Morning Herald simply reconfirms much of what I've said (except for failing to join the dots below)!
As it has been pointed the stalemate in the Upper House was caused by John Hatzistergos the NSW Attorney General and Mr Laurie Glanfield Director General of the Attorney General's Department playing hard-ball lobbying to get through the NSW Trustee and Guardian Act in late June.
The intensity of that lobbying because of public resistance to the proposed Act was really bizarre and disproportionate to the issue. Somebody was obviously on a power-kick to prove a point just for the sake of it. That lobbying alienated the Shooters as Labor did its deal with the Greens on the new Trustee organisation. So if the Premier wonders why there is a stalemate, I reckon he ought to ask Hatzistergos and Glanfield to "please explain".
