NSW to be "Fixed"

I had a dog once. He strutted around the yard like he owned it, casting amorous glances at next doors kelpie, household visitor's legs and stuffed toys in equal parts. What a bold, proud alpha dog he was, a true protector of his dominion. Lock up your kelpies, mother's, for fido was in town.
Then one day we took him to the vet, casting guilty glances aside we reassured him we were taking him to be "fixed". I'm sure in hindsight he would have argued if it weren't broke, don't fix it, but a day later he returned home sans his strut amongst other things, and the raging alpha male was as meek as a lamb.
And thus, according to Peter Debnam, is the fate of New South Wales. His campaign call to arms "Let's Fix New South Wales" can mean only one thing. Both the Libs and Labs are employing the same agency to come up with their slogans. Although Labor's "More to do but ... we're heading in the right direction" doesn't threaten castration, it does sound like it may already have occurred.
Other than who can have the most insipid slogan, the NSW election campaign is escalating into a rather ho hum affair. Tough on Crime (both Sides), Save you Money (both Sides), Save the environment (both sides). Might need a little further dentistry.
