I look to the future it makes me cry
But it seems too real to tell you whyFreed from the century
With nothing but memory, memoryAnd I just hope that you can forgive us
But everything must goAnd if you need an explanation
Then everything must go- Manic Street Preachers Everything must go

Conservatives within the Coalition should be enjoying their moment of triumph. They have negated a supposedly progressive Prime Minister and tethered him to the unpopular and disastrous policies of his conservative predecessor.

NSW Transport Minister Andrew Constance should be a politician at the top of his game. He is the steward of several large transformative infrastructure projects, and a former state Treasurer: all that, and not yet 45. In his current predicament he is more like someone at the top of that slow initial climb of a roller-coaster, just before plunging and being jerked this way and that before eventually being returned to where he started.
