Renewal begins at the top Mike (click)

We read that the knives are possibly out to tap Kevin Foley on the shoulder. That he alone is "hurting the Labor brand". I do wonder why the former Treasurer has been singled out. I have always believed that renewal begins at the top.
The shuffling of deck chairs has done little, if anything, to revitalise the Rann government.

Premier Rann promised to reconnect with the electorate following the government's near loss last year. The evidence following, has shown the premier is either not interested or at best, unable to connect with the community. He has become disconnected and seems to think that his use of Twitter is the way of embracing the public.

How any leader of any party can consider that after 16 years of leadership, one can still be fresh, open to new ideas and has the ear of the public is questionable.
Mike Rann has been leading SA Labor for 16 years. He has been rewarded with the Premiership for nine of those years. He should reflect that possibly he is the problem with SA Labor seeming freefall from popularity.

The recent NewsPoll found that Rann now only has a 29% public support. He won government last year on only 48% of the vote, the warning signs are so obvious.
To single out Foley is not really getting to the core problem. Renewal begins at the top, and 16 years of Rann leadership, brings about disconnect, arrogance and inability to understand the public mood.
The establishment of an ICAC would be the start of a new premier's renewal of Labor.
