Egan Speaks - Des Moore's No Friend of Mine!


re: Cabinet capers in the Dark Tower

Des Moore is no friend of mine. I made my views on him known during the State election when I described him as a hired hand for the Liberal Party.

So I was pretty disappointed to hear he had darkened the halls of NSW Treasury.

Rest assured his visit was as a guest of some group of academic economists who are in no way associated with the State Government.

That NSW public servants would be foolish enough to waste a lunchtime listening to him is a cause for concern. One would have hoped they might have shown better taste.

Michael Egan

Treasurer
