Summary A thwarted attempt to privatise electricity in New South Wales was only the catalyst. In Power Crisis, former minister and Labor historian Rodney Cavalier reveals the takeover of Labor by a professional political class without connection to the broader community or the party's traditions. This deep malaise within the ALP, reflected in falling party membership and alienation of the remaining faithful, led to the political demise of premiers Morris Iemma and Nathan Rees, and threatens to destroy good government not just in New South Wales, but in other states and the nation
