Backflip: the new requirement for all polititians.

Brown paper bags rule.

Fact check! Can we please stop call them backflips because when you do a backflip you end up where you started! It cant be backflip. how about a U Turn? a 180?

Just get it done - no procrastination

How Mad Rooter Matt Kean has, not just survived, but weaselled his slimy way into being treasurer is beyond me. I agree, who could possibly vote for this little creep?

Almost as bad as Penny Wongs SSM backflip.

So go and join the greens Kean you know you want to

A backflip over the dam wall? That’s impressive. Oh, I see, just over the dam wall plan. Not so impressive then ;-)

.Dom_Perrottet uses an infrastructure argument, developed correctly for drought, to con an inexperienced press to believe he's enacting flood protection when instead he panders to developers prior to an election. And NSW Treasurer goes along. Independents

This bloke is a deadset DH. Can't believe he is a state treasurer let alone a politician. Do people vote for him or is it some sort of preference deal?

It’s ok it’s only the LNP they can backflip and backflip, the day they actually stick to anything significant I may change my opinion on them! That’s not likely! The dam wall won’t go ahead how long have they been promising this? It’s just announcements and more announcements.

JUST CREATING MORE ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTERS! YOUR GOVERNMENT IS FINISHED
