The NSW govt has to cut spending from its budget. This is largely because it inherited a basket-case courtesy of the previous Labor govt.
So when people from charitable organisations get word that their revenue from the govt is being cut they immediately go for the heart strings, accusing the govt of not caring.
This was in evidence on the channel 10 news (27/10/12). A Cystic Fibrosis supporter accused the govt, "they just don't care".
This was music to opposition leader John Robertson's ears. He in turn amplified the language by calling the govt "maliciously callous".
Some perspective people, please. They are broke! Broke because John Robertson's colleagues had spent money recklessly over many years.
John Robertson ought to acknowledge the mess his political party created. Then it would be nice if he would explain to the people of NSW what he would cut instead.
Of course he doesn't have to do this as he is in opposition. This is convenient for him. While he knows cuts must be made he won't admit to anything.

John Robertson is discharging his duty as Opposition Leader very well, criticising the government where he can. It is up to us to decide whether his criticisms are valid.
