FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
NSW Premier Barry O’Farrell has defended his infrastructure agenda, saying he is doing the best he can to build up the state.
Mr O’Farrell was responding to comments by Infrastructure NSW chair Nick Greiner, reported by News Limited, that he is making slow progress.
Mr Greiner is arguing for the full privatisation of electricity assets to raise more than $20 billion to build infrastructure.
“We’ll do what we said we’ll do before the election,” Mr O’Farrell told ABC Radio today.
“Which is an independent inquiry not just into the (partial) sale of the state’s electricity assets by the Labor Party but to get advice for what is the best way forward for the state’s electricity assets that will keep power prices low.”
Prioritising infrastructure was the job of Infrastructure NSW, he said.

“Nick Greiner has been appointed chair of a body whose job it is prioritise the infrastructure backlog that we inherited in government,” Mr O’Farrell said.
“I don’t have a magic wand, I can’t make it go away at once,” he said.
Mr Greiner has admitted to being impatient with the pace of Mr O’Farrell’s agenda, News reports.
He has long lobbied privately to government to sell the entire electricity industry and has promised a 20-year infrastructure plan for NSW a year from now.
Speaking at a business lunch in Sydney yesterday, Mr Greiner acknowledged that government debt, asset sales and new charges like a congestion tax were unpopular with the public, business, politicians and the state’s bureaucracy.
But he added, “If you want a change in infrastructure … then you’ve got to get money from somewhere.”
