NSW:Bitar must not get NSW upper house seat

Former New South Wales premier MORRIS IEMMA is predicting disaster for Labor at next
year's state election .. if federal campaign director KARL BITAR is parachuted into the
state upper house seat vacated by retiring Labor MP JOHN DELLA BOSCA.

Mr IEMMA has told Macquarie Radio Mr BITAR ran one of the most inept campaigns in living
memory and should quit.

He says parachuting Mr BITAR into a state seat would tell voters Labor has learnt nothing
from the federal election result.

Meantime Mr IEMMA has praised Prime Minister JULIA GILLARD for salvaging the result
with her ability and her personality .. saying her `real Julia' statement was a clear
sign she wanted to take the campaign out of Mr BITAR's hands.
