“I couldn’t have given a more balanced approach to the way that we’re doing business in relation to the deed, but it is and will always be conditional to the enterprise agreement.”on NSW Treasurer Matt Kean, blaming him for the prolonged industrial action dogging Sydney’s rail network. Elliott likened the treasurer and deputy NSW Liberal leader to a “boy” doing “a man’s job”.
