"New South Wales Premier Kristina Keneally says she is "furious" after her road minister's chief of staff was charged with buying an ecstasy tablet.
NSW Labor MP Verity Firth says she will stand by her husband following his arrest for drug possession.

The arrest of Matthew Chesher, 44, who is also the husband of Education Minister Verity Firth, demonstrated that "nobody is above the law", she said."To sum up my feelings on his behaviour, I'm furious," Ms Keneally said today."

I can't believe she had the nerve to stand up and ask that Sydney people be exempt - and us Melbournians had so much sympathy for Sydneysiders until then.

Ha Ha

Melbournites have never had any sympathy for Sydneysiders! It may as well be the Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland or dare I say it Palestinians and Israelis.

Ohhh - close to the line there

. Yes indeed. Your Premier made a complete knob of herself to us Mexicans. We all got a good laugh from it. With people like her in power, we will never be without a smile...

Yes Mick, but there three sides to that comment:

you are not from Melbourne.
living in Western Victoria probably you have a lot of sympathy for people living in Melbourne and Adelaide too.
When in Sydney you don't start every conversation with the comment "I'm from Melbourne" like my cousins a renown to do.

I would say that they are being lowered into the ground, especially after the solar debacle, they have basically killed the solar industry in NSW.
