Michael Daley has perhaps learnt in the past 134 days that holding the leadership position and showing leadership are not the same thing. (The strife of the party, 25/3). I would argue that Mr Daley faced a much bigger leadership challenge throughout the campaign than what he faces now. The challenge was to demonstrate a real passion for leadership of this great state. But, as demonstrated with his clash with Alan Jones on the Allianz stadium issue, his focus on gaining publicity completely eroded any credibility. Alan Sexton, North Parramatta. 27Mar2019.
