Doubt has already been cast over the capabilities of new Premier Nathan Rees less than a day after he's been plucked from the back bench and sworn into the top job.
Mr Rees political inexperience has come into question he joined parliament just 18 months ago.
Opposition leader Barry O’Farrell says NSW is in worse hands than before.
“Having worked for the architect of the State’s problems - Bob Carr and Morris Iemma - the only experience Nathan Rees brings to the job is how to continue to ensure the decline in people’s living standards.”
