PREMIER Mike Rann says sections of the Labor Party accusing him of trying to undermine new Premier Jay Weatherill before Thursday’s leadership handover have an IQ of less than 50.
He described the complainers as “whingers who have probably done bugger all for anybody apart from collecting their pay”.
Party sources have called reporters to complain about Mr Rann’s final weeks in office where he has been making a series of announcements and speeches.
“The fact of the matter is that I have been associated with these projects,” Mr Rann said.
“This bridge and electrification were negotiated by me and Transport Minister Pat Conlon.
“I am out of the place next Thursday. Next Friday morning from 9am, people will have nothing to whinge about.”
Mr Rann’s comments came as he inspected work on the Seaford rail extension as one of the nation’s longest rail bridges starts to extend out over the Onkaparinga River.

The 1.2km bridge will be completed over the next year with full electric rail services running through to Seaford by the end of 2013. Mr Rann said it was appropriate he was making announcements on projects.
“I have been involved in the negotiations over Olympic Dam for years and what we have been doing is making sure Kevin (Foley) and I are basically completing what we started,” he said.
“If we hadn’t, we would be criticised by the same people for leaving unfinished business.”
Mr Rann said many of the projects now under way, such as the new RAH, the Adelaide Oval redevelopment, the Seaford rail line and the desalination plant would be opened by Mr Weatherill as Premier.
He said he believed Mr Weatherill was going to be a terrific Premier and he had been briefed every step along the way.
“I am not being a spoiler,” he said. “I have publicly endorsed Jay on a number of occasions, will not be a spoiler, have not been a spoiler.
“That isn’t my nature. My first loyalty is to the state, my second loyalty is to the Government, my third loyalty is to the party.”
Mr Rann said he did not owe any loyalty to any factions in the ALP. “What I have been saying all along – whether it be the Liberal Party or the Labor Party – is that things get out of kilter when factions are put first,” he said.
He continued his attack on the factions yesterday in interviews on ABC in which he said the leaking of his meeting where he was told his time was up was “fairly low rent”.
“Whilst this fellow (union powerbroker Peter Malinauskas) was in my office, it was being leaked deliberately to the media, so it was … an ambush basically,” he said.
“I think this involves a lack of respect. I mean the people involved in leaking it … would sort of be fairly low on the IQ food chain.”
