Landslide

Defeated Premier Kristina Keneally and Premier Elect Barry O'Farrell

The New South Wales electorate which wanted to throw out the long running Labor Government in 2007, but couldn't bring itself to do so because the Liberal National Coalition looked an even worse option, bit the bullet today and did exactly that in the 2011 election.

The swing (about 17%) and final margin (about 40+ seats) have yet to be confirmed but both appear to be at historically high levels.

Premier Elect O'Farrell in his victory speech moments ago promised amongst other things 'to govern for all in NSW not just special interests'. Ah, the more things change........(you know the rest).
