Your Excellency, It's time to dissolve the Parliament
I was referred to a petition being run by News Ltd just five minutes ago and didn't have any hesitation in signing it. If you want good government for NSW then I strongly urge you to sign this petition.
To the people of NSW, you owe it to yourselves and you owe it to your state.

I have signed the petition even though I live in WA simply because NSW has Australia's largest economy and when that economy is not doing well it brings down the rest of the country.
Clearly the people that make up the NSW Government need a slap over the back of the head. Their priorities are wrong and they are not listening to what the people want.
I've been asking for a double dissolution of the NSW Parliament for a long time.
Check this thread for details. It was not the first time I mentioned the possibility of a Vice-Regal intervention either.
It should also be noted that there's only ever been two situations that have lead to the sacking of a government in Australia.
The first was on the 13th May, 1932 when NSW Governor, Air Vice-Marshal Sir Phillip Game, dissolved the Houses of Parliament because of the failure of the then Premier, Jack Lang, to repay loans given to NSW by Great Britain.
The second was on the 11th November, 1975, being two months after Jack Lang died, the Commonwealth Government with Gough Whitlam as Prime Minister was dismissed by Governor General, Sir John Kerr, because the opposition parties that had a majority in the Senate blocked a number of supply bills which meant that the Government of the Day effectively had no money to administer the Commonwealth.
Both governments at the times were Labor Party administrations. Both governments at the times comprised a bunch of incompetant, anti-British, socialist pigs. The NSW Government of today isn't much better.
