Rann resigns

Rann resigns – well, sort of
South Australia now in complete paralysis
Government in South Australia under Labor has now officially become farcical with lame duck Premier Mike Rann announcing the date of his resignation.
Mr Rann has today indicated his preferred date of resignation as Premier – Thursday 20 October.
“He is now officially a lame duck Premier,” Deputy Leader of the Opposition Mitch Williams said.
“There is a clear message to business and community groups around Australia – do not communicate with Mr Rann as he is a lame duck.
“Mr Rann has also sent a clear message to South Australians – Mr Weatherill needs mentoring before becoming Premier. He’s obviously not up to the job.
“Mr Rann, by nominating 20 October as his preferred date, must endure nine Parliamentary sitting days as a lame duck.
“Mr Rann’s own Labor Government has now confirmed it has no confidence in him as Premier – so why now allow him to stay until 20 October?
“Mr Rann should not be able to hang around to achieve his own personal milestones.
“The Labor brand across Australia has now been completely wrecked after Labor’s Unions have been involved in knifing Labor leaders.
“There is no hiding the fact that Mr Rann has been knifed in the back and now he is being pushed out the door without achieving his own personal milestones.
“South Australia continues to remain in a holding pattern as a result of Mr Rann’s colossal ego.
“Assuming Labor’s powerbrokers don’t decide to knife Mr Rann before 20 October, Government in South Australia has descended into farce.
“It’s now time for Mr Rann to put the interests of South Australia before his own self-interest.
“Mr Weatherill must now finish off South Australia’s lame duck Premier – it’s the right thing to do for good governance in our state.
“Fittingly, Mr Rann has announced yet another broken promise – that he won’t be leading Labor to the 2014 election.”
