Bracks Watch

Bracks joins the open mike club

Steve has been doing himself no favours recently, joining State Premiers Iemma and Beattie in letting fly with the cameras rolling and microphones on. Although not quite as rude as our northern neighbours, Bracks managed to:

• Bag the state of the New South Wales economy: "We are going well, though. We are not like NSW here [...] our economy is going well."
• Criticise the current New South Wales Labor leadership: "Morris just needs to get his team under control and show a bit of leadership. It's like if we lost three or four of our best we would be struggling too."

Although Morris Iemma has refused to seek out an apology, the damage has been done. Bracks can no longer be trusted to not offend others in Australia, even with his droves of minders escorting him around Victoria and the rest of the country.
