Unfortunately i won't have any 'fond' memories of Mike Baird, as I respectfully requested a personal meeting with him in relation to TRC & he refused, was warned off is my understanding, so as the tributes flow it is the little man in the background who's voice is not heard that laments him not.

The departure of Premier Mike "Mogadon" Baird from NSW politics is a real blessing for aussie voters in the Tamworth and Northern Tablelands electorate. The much praised "Baird Legacy" includes selling Newcastle Ports for about $900 million and re-investing only about $50 million in Newcastle. Then the unwanted sale of the electricity poles & wires made the NSW balance sheet look good, at considerable increasing cost to aussie consumers. But the greatest failure must be committing about $1.6 BILLION to the renovation of four football stadia in western Sydney for sporting codes, that make BILLIONS from television contracts and pay telephone numbers for desk jockey sport administrators, while ignoring the disintegrating state highways in urban regional communities and the abysmal condition of the interstate rail network.
It is decisions like these that make thinking business persons contemplate forming the Seventh State between the Hunter and the Queensland border.
We look forward to all people in regional centres wanting economic growth to demand that the politicians elected by aussie voters represent those aussie voters to the exclusion of all foreign owned multinational mining corporations that appear to be preferred by the unelected political hacks who control party pre-selection.
