Premier Morris Iemma is yet to emerge from a meeting which party bosses ordered three months after he defied ALP delegates and pressed ahead with the electricity sell-off.
Mr Iemma went into the Trades Hall on Sussex Street, shortly after 9:30 this morning to meet with the party’s admin committee over his decisions to defy the wishes of delegates at May’s state ALP conference.
Delegates voted seven votes to one against the planned electricity sell-off, with the party threatening to sanction Mr Iemma if he didn’t call it off.
Mr Iemma doesn’t believe he will be punished by the admin committee today – party president Bernie Reardon was hoping for a good and productive meeting.
Anti-power protestors have now lined the exit to the building, carrying placards and flags.
