Spivs, sleaze and Labor mates

28/03/2008
It's a good thing for New South Wales Premier Morris Iemma that the electorate won't be getting its collective hands on him until 2011,when the next state election is due. By then, what one newspaper has described as the 'hacks, the spivs and the sleaze' of the Iemma government may be a distant memory. But some commentators aren't so sure - in fact, there's plenty to suggest the scandals of the current government reflect a deeper malaise within the party. Could it be that the only way forward may be to overturn what's been described as a Labor 'clique' which calls the shots in New South Wales.
