March 28

Peaceful transfer of power in NSW

0  comments

Barry O'Farrell was sworn in by Her Excellency the Governor of New South Wales, Professor Bashir.

This was the 63rd occasion since 1856 when government has been transferred peacefully in the State. ( One followed a dismissal on constitutional grounds.)

There would be few countries in the world which have such a similar record.

This film was broadcast by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation on 28 March 2011.
