Poll backlash predicted for NSW Govt

KERRY O'BRIEN: With New South Wales just weeks away from an election, the state's Labor Government is still scrambling to recover after a series of scandals ranging from a fallen minister facing child sex charges to a backbencher convicted of assaulting his girlfriend. And it's not just MPs behaving badly. After 12 years in office, there's a groundswell of voter anger provoked by the state of basic services - roads, public transport, schools and hospitals. The man in the hot seat is Premier Morris Iemma, who inherited a sizeable majority when he replace the retiring Bob Carr less than 18 months ago but he also inherited a rolling political nightmare. While the New South Wales Opposition would need an enormous swing to secure victory, some political analysts believe there is at least a very real chance that voters will turn to independents in unprecedented numbers. This report from Deborah Cornwall.
