Be honest. Would you vote for this man?


NSW Labor Oppositon Leader John Robertson MP
- no hair, no loyalty, no nous.

These are some of the comments concerning the Member for Blacktown:

"Come on - this destroyer of the Labor Party would not have even known where Blacktown was if he was not dumped into it a few weeks ago. I was one of the many who deserted Labor and voted Lib.... all because of the likes of Robertson and Roosendaal. Now Sussex St has shown us what they really think of us by oozing this grub into the leadership, it will probably be decades before they get my vote again." {'Glenn' online comment in Blacktown Advocate online 31st March 2011}

“John Robertson is very much part of the Labor Party’s problematic past." {Former NSW Premier Morris Iemma in Blacktown Advocate 29th March 2011}

"Let me tell you, if the Labor Party stocks ever get so low as to require your services in its parliamentary leadership, it will itself have no future" {Paul Keating in a 2008 letter to John Robertson according to SBS World News 28th March 2011}

"if the Government goes down the lethal tally of men and women who lose their seats will be to your account" {Paul Keating in a 2008 letter to John Robertson according to Laurie Oakes on Weekend Today program 27th March 2011}

"John Robertson makes the village idiot look like an intellectual." {Gordon Thomas of Hurstville in The Sydney Morning Herald online 2nd April 2011}
