The Bairds of NSW.

I know very little of NSW state politics... but, trolling the archives today I came across a cartoon or two featuring Bruce Baird and a distinct NSW connection, Could he be related to the present Premier of that state I pondered. Of course he could chortled Google. He's Mike's dad!

Bruce first came under my scrutiny as NSW Tourism Minister who c,1995(?) abandoned his NSW Coalition brethren to try his arm as a Federal MP in the 1998 election.

Being on the cusp of a NSW election starring Mike Baird in a featured role ... I'm blaming nostalgia  for  the coicidental running of this old 'toon.
