I am struggling to understand why there are any federal implications of the upper hunter by-election. This is or was a very safe national party seat. The late George Souris used to be the member. it has been in National party and their forebears hands for at least 90 years.
It was a State by-election. We have seen in Queensland, Northern Territory, Western Australia and Tasmania All returned their governments even though several were poor. Their handling of covid was central to that.
In normal times this by-election could and should have been lost . Our Gladys has been shown to be very low on morals. Whilst her lover was driving at 100 mph towards illegality she did nothing and said nothing. She blatantly pork barreled in the last election and then tried to hide the evidence. And how can we forget her 'forgetting' not to self-isolate after having a covid test.
There was a by-election because of sordid reasons by the previous member. We now have another member of cabinet under investigation.
Whilst Matt Kean has delivered and is delivering a very good record on the environment particularly on new electricity which Barilo has agreed on. for some unfathomable reason no-one pulls them up for saying one thing in the city and another in the country even when it is a blatant lie. This should have been highlighted by the ALP. It wasn't.
These are not normal times and The present government's performance on covid is being rewarded.
Does it have any federal implications? I fail to see any. It is only fodder to those who desire to see a leadership challenge in the ALP.
