Seat of power

The Derwent electorate
THE immiment elevation of Craig Farrell to the position of Leader for the Government in the Legislative Council will make him the third Member for Derwent (in a row) to hold the position.

The late lamented Charles Batt held the position from 1989-92 during the term of the Field minority government. His successor in Derwent, Michael Aird, held the same position from 1998-2006 under premiers Jim Bacon and Paul Lennon, before being appointed treasurer.

Following Mr Aird's retirement in 2011, the vacancy in Derwent was filled by Craig Farrell who was subsequently appointed Deputy Leader for the Government on the day he took his seat in the Legislative Council.

Minority government Premier Lara Giddings last week confirmed that Mr Farrell will be promoted to Leader for the Government on the imminent retirement of the incumbent, Doug Parkinson. The Mercury's report can be read here.

      Am not too sure that any of the current incumbents, no matter what party, would be any better. What a total pack of inept persons the people have elected!
