Former New South Wales (NSW) Premier Nick Greiner admits he did not want to lead the state division’s internal review, conceding he was “caught at a moment of weakness.”

“Frankly, I was not keen to take on the job, it’s a difficult, internally focused sort of job,” Greiner told ABC Radio on June 18.
