It’s been a big weekend at the annual NSW State Labor conference, with embattled Premier Nathan Rees winning the right to choose a cabinet of his own making.
A ministerial re-shuffle could be on the cards in New South Wales, with the Premier Nathan Rees yesterday given the power to sack ministers. Nathan Rees had the backing of both the left and the right factions at yesterday’s Labor Party conference in Sydney.
The ALP’s General Secretary, Matt Thistlethwaite, said it was important to give the Premier the power to choose his team. “In my view delegates, if we are going to be a modern Labor Party the time has come for us to back the Premier,” he said.
The speculation of a reshuffle, was spot on with Ports Minister Joe Tripodi and Primary Industries Minister Ian Macdonald immediately shown the door – both controversial figures in NSW politics.
