NSW: Unions tame premier, who has failed first test: O'Farrell

NSW Opposition Leader BARRY O'FARRELL says Premier KRISINA KENEALLY has failed her
first test .. in failing to stand up to the union movement.

Mr O'FARRELL says the new premier's been tamed by the unions .. and she should have
threatened transport union bosses with breaking off wage negotiations .. if a bus strike
went ahead.

The 24-hour strike by bus drivers began at 4am (AEDT) .. causing 600 thousand commuters
to make alternative travel plans or stay at home.
