Mr Baird is certainly a better looking Premier (in my opinion) than his predecessor but I fear that in other respects he may be no improvement in relation to the gay community. Whereas Barry O'Farrell stated his support for gay marriage I understand Mr Baird has previously referred to 'those who choose the live homosexual lifestyle' when referring to gay issues.
Mr Baird has been elected leader of his party unopposed.
His deputy will be Ms Gladys Berejiklian, arguably the most active Minister for Transport the state has ever had. She was also elected unopposed.

With regard to Barry O'Farrell, he will not be entitled to the retirement perks that his predecessor Premiers enjoy because he has not served as Premier for a minimum of five years. The irony is that it was Mr O'Farrell who in 2012, as part of 'belt tightening' who changed the rules to enforce this minimum qualifying period for future Premiers.
He's on the record as being opposed to same sex marriage.
ReplyDeleteLike Tony Abbott, Baird won't be doing us any favours James
DeleteProbably one of the better looking Premiers NSW has had for quite some time. I am so shallow.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts too, Ad Rad (i.e. not that you are shallow but that I am as well).
DeleteVictor, your Prime Minister is handsome but what about his talerance who knows? Definitely future shows his views.
ReplyDeleteGosia, I am usually suspicious of those who are prominent about their religious beliefs. They don't always show tolerance for diversity.

ReplyDeleteA handsome Prime Minister eek!
DeleteThat frog will never be kissed & will never ever be close to handsome.
I wouldn't be kissing the Prime Minister. The new Premier, on the other hand, is quite good looking but unfortunately like the PM he is no friend to the gay community.
