	Stateline NSW
		BARRIE UNSWORTH: We estimate that to bring the STA fares, that's the Government fares, up to the private bus fares, it would only involve increasing fares beyond five or six sections, so it would be the long-distance routes where there would be an increase.
		BARRIE UNSWORTH: We believe that if we could arrest the growth of private car usage, that it would be a great victory, so that what we want to do is provide travellers with a bus transport option.
		BARRIE UNSWORTH: We would hope there would be a very good example of buses whizzing along priority lanes and demonstrating to people that there is a better way to go -- travel by bus.

		QUENTIN DEMPSTER: Former premier Barrie Unsworth, who headed a bus system review last year, admits our dependence on the car is now a big problem.
		When we interviewed him last year Barrie Unsworth was unable to say how much his bus reforms, now being implemented, would actually increase bus penetration of the total transport market.
		The Unsworth reforms with 43 main bus routes have a user catchment of just 10 per cent to 15 per cent of the population.

	Sword warns on new rules - National - theage.com.au
		The decision by tribunal member Barrie Unsworth means overseas-born ALP members will be able to vote in local branch elections, despite being ineligible to vote at federal elections.
		Mr Unsworth upheld an appeal by the party's right-wing faction against rules passed at the ALP state conference in May. The new rules said any members voting in local branch elections had to have been members for at least two years and be enrolled to vote in federal elections.
		Mr Unsworth also overturned a new rule that effectively meant that people had to be party members for two years before they could vote in the forthcoming local branch elections.

		Barrie Unsworth has made recommendations about the use of Smartcard technology to pay student transport on actual travel, as well as matters to do with contractual arrangements.
		Mr Unsworth also recommends introducing the $30 annual co-payment with "safety-net" exemptions, as well as picking up the Public Accounts Committee recommendation on making schools responsible for transport budgets and purchasing services.

		NSWELSHPERSONS, and probably only NSWelshpersons, will recall Barrie Unsworth, who became premier of the waratah state when Neville Wran retired in 1986, and then ran the joint until Nick Greiner defeated him in May 1988.
		Another factor in Barrie's demise was the gun laws, which saw a quite a few country ALP members (remember them?) lose their seats, such as Harold Mair* in Albury.
		I was on hols interstate recently when I had one of those brushes with fame we mortals occasionally experience - Barrie and his wife were dining at the next table.

		These men - James Kenny, Ralph Marsh, John Ducker, Barrie Unsworth, John MacBean and Michael Easson - were bonded like brothers through their allegiance to the right-wing faction, and all worked their way up through the institution to positions of power at a time of immense change for the organisation.
		Ducker was secretary from 1975 to 1979, and Dodkin believes his "greatest achievement was the role he played in promoting Neville Wran for the leadership in New South Wales, orchestrating his election from the lower house".
		The next two brothers, Unsworth and MacBean, had more educational opportunities than the first three and were skilled electricians before joining the Labor Council.

	Bus plans create risk of monopoly - www.smh.com.au
		Wanting to streamline the city's bus network, inquiry head Barrie Unsworth plans to cut bus territories from 74 to 10, giving a handful of companies responsibility for running the city's whole passenger fleet.
		Mr Unsworth said if fares were equalised, it would be over a five-year period and would mainly affect those travelling on long-haul State Transit trips, like Palm Beach to the CBD.
		The underlying concept of the Unsworth report is that a network of high-quality bus corridors - used by various bus routes and featuring improved speeds through bus lanes and bus signals - and a reduction in operators could make the system more efficient and allow better planning to meet demand.

		Mr Unsworth found that an infrequent, cash-paying passenger travelling five sections pays $2.70 on a State Transit bus but $3.30 on a private service in western Sydney.

		The interim report by former premier and transport minister Barrie Unsworth proposes a major shake-up of the $613.8 million the government spends on buses, most of which goes to subsidise private operators.
		Mr Unsworth said the means-tested $30 co-payment would be a reasonable control mechanism.
		Mr Unsworth dismissed suggestions bus fares would rise 24 per cent, saying only people travelling long distances on government buses faced rises under a change to equalise fares paid by private bus users.

		The NSW Right has been similarly dismal, failing miserably to beat the corrupt Robin Askin and losing horribly whenever it put up one of its own favored sons as a leader or contender for any position of substance (Pat Hills, Barrie Unsworth, Michael Lee and almost certainly Morris Iemma as well).
		This myth of the ability of the Australian gun lobby to make or break governments took hold in the ALP across Australia, leading to years of inaction on the issue despite a string of shooting tragedies like the Hoddle Street massacre in Melbourne.
		Actually, it was Barrie Unsworth, favoured son of the NSW Right, Premier from 1986 to 1988 who with great precience lamented that it would take a gun massacre in Tasmania before anyone would take gub control seriously.

		Government inquiries by former premier Barrie Unsworth and economist Professor Tom Parry dismissed light rail as a solution to the ailing public transport system, meaning an extension into Leichhardt is now highly unlikely.
		Mr Floyd said the Unsworth Inquiry's comments that light rail would add to congestion was "absolute bollocks coming from an anti public transport government".
		The Unsworth inquiry also showed private car journeys have increased by 20 per cent in the last 10 years.

		Having come to know Barrie so well I say without equivication that it was a great shame for the people of this State that his duration as Premier was so short, he is a man of principle, competence and vision who had much more to contribute to this State as Premier.
		Barrie Unsworth advised me that this inaugural speech was an important speech because it provides a public benchmark to judge ones contribution to public life.

	Green Left - Editorial: Twin evils
		After tens of thousands of traditional Labor voters decided in 1988 that nothing could be worse than Barrie Unsworth and the Labor machine, Greiner has convinced them otherwise with three years of even harsher economic and social policies and promises of worse to come.
		In 1988, workers revolted against the job slashing, service cutting, and yet massively wasteful policies of Unsworth, and Wran before him.
		But Greiner was worse, inflicting even more cuts on education, health, housing and public transport services, and trying to match Labor in the extravagance of its subsidies to big business, though nothing could really touch Darling Harbour and the Sydney monorail and the harbour tunnel in that respect.
