Breakfast

In what's seen by many as a last ditch bid to hold on to office, NSW premier Morris Iemma has sacked his treasurer, Michael Costa, and is reportedly preparing to make other changes to the government's line-up. This comes amid growing speculation that the ALP is preparing to jettison Mr Iemma himself in favour of Nathan Rees, with Carmel Tebutt as his deputy. Adding to the government's woes is news that this week's National Accounts show that NSW was the only state or territory to record negative growth in the June quarter.
