It's Premier Who?
A FORMER garbage collector, Nathan Rees, was elected Premier of NSW yesterday after Morris Iemma's once loyal backers turned on him and forced him to quit, leaving the little-known Mr Rees to declare: "I'll have a red-hot go."
How the Right turned on its own man
MORRIS IEMMA was beaming as he entered the caucus room at 12.40pm yesterday, flanked by his departing deputy, John Watkins.
First verse: mea culpa, blame Costa
NATHAN REES yesterday used his first public statement as the new Premier to guarantee that he would devote every "waking hour" to restoring faith in his beleaguered Government, admitting taxpayers had been left bitterly disappointed with Labor's efforts.
Breaking the Labor mould
The new Premier has touches of another Labor leader born and raised in Sydney's western suburbs, report Matthew Moore and Gerard Noonan.
State of chaos
Michael Costa was never going out with a whimper, but his big bang was soon overshadowed by a perfect storm, writes Andrew West.
