Many Australians are saddened by the political demise of NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian. (Farewell from the heart of our state, 3/10). While trust is determined contractually at the ballot box, it is the view of many that only the voters should be in the position to judge any breaches. I might be cynical, but surely the margin between political junkets, opportunism and negotiating pragmatic outcomes is a touch shady, if not clouded. Alan Sexton, North Parramatta 4Oct2021.
