State Premier, Kristina Keneally, electioneering in Newcastle today, noted for her indefatigable spirit, this time, in a meeting near the law courts. Later, secret womens' business includes the local MP for the Hunter: Jodi McKay.
Ms Keneally was born, raised and educated in the USA, married an Australian and moved here and has a youngish family.
Democracy is operative but a 'revolution' is mooted in the State election  on March 26.  Once it was ok to give the smaller political parties a vote as a 'poke' but now that unheard of change is mooted, things are different.
Tokens and largess are unnecessary. Sound innovative government is what counts. And a competent interesting premier in Sydney is a bonus.
Down with the harping uninspired nagging we hear from the leader of the opposition in Canberra who mightly deflates all the drive towards informed, hopeful, even expensive, change.   

 Newcastle was lashed by gales but little Ranga was on the new look election campaign today in Newcastle with photo opportunites: 1 Simply blown away by the view from Braye park.
