I wouldn't read too much into this as I expect local factors were at work. However a one party state just isn't right. Theres a couple of elections due soon, the WA state election and the NSW local government elections. It will be interesting to see what happens, there may be a reaction against Labor in NSW as a protest against Iemma the Incompetent.
The shock result stunned Chief Minister Paul Henderson, whose party has suffered a 9 per cent swing, which claimed the scalps of three of his ministers.
It is a humiliating setback for the former fitter, who was tested for the first time in the polls as leader.
"It is obvious that there has been a strong swing against the Government,'' Mr Henderson said.
