Resignation of Morris Iemma
Morris Iemma has made a substantial contribution to public life in NSW over two decades.
Morris achieved much for NSW, both as a Senior Minister and Premier of Australia's largest state.
Morris put mental health on the national agenda, brought James Hardie to account and made tough decisions for NSW's future in the areas of desalination and energy reform.
Morris also recently oversaw a highly successful World Youth Day festival.
Morris' ability, work ethic and leadership skills were acknowledged in his elevation to Premier in 2005.
Two years later he delivered Labor a record fourth consecutive four-year term in NSW.
I wish Morris, Santina and their family all the best for the future.
