Governing NSW - Commerce
The commerce portfolio is a sort of accumulation around John Della Bosca, it comprises the Office of Fair Trading, Industrial Relations, NSW Procurement and Public Works & Services. The budget is just under 600 million and 3296 people are employed in the portfolio. The sphere is a no new policy zone.
This analysis provides a comprehensive citizens guide to the State Labor and Liberal-National Party Alternatives for the NSW Election 2007 by portfolio based on parliamentary performance and the new policies presented to the people of NSW during the election campaign. The purpose of the evaluation is to go beyond electoral analysis that focuses on the personality of the leaders. This study evaluates portfolios, ministers and shadow ministers based on parliamentary performance, use of the media, statesmanship, stability and leadership, vision of the future and the quality of the new policies presented to the electorate. It provides an overview of how each party works as a team as well as an individual by individual analysis of the ministerial teams of the major parties.
