The NSW Premier has been kept in the dark about changes to the E-tag system, as decisions are made without him being informed.
A no deposit tag has been announced by NSW Roads Minister Michael Daley, but the Premier knew nothing about it when asked earlier this morning.
Mr Daley has admitted to 2GB’s Ray Hadley they hadn't discussed it.
In a fiery interview Hadley demanded the minister concede he had not kept Nathan Rees in the loop.
“Now tell the truth, Michael Daley, did you talk to the Premier about this issue and have you had your knuckles rapped this morning for not going to talk to him?” the announcer asked.
“No and no,” Daley responded.

Even the NSW Roads Minister is encouraging drivers to look interstate if they want an E-tag with no extra fees.
NSW E-tag providers are refusing to drop their forty dollar deposit, but the RTA is introducing a tag with no deposit.
It will have administration fees.
NSW Roads Minister Michael Daley says he's not worried if drivers look to other states to get E-tags.
“I think it’s important that people find the best deal for themselves as possible,” he told LIVENEWS.com.au.
“It’s therefore up to the government and the RTA to make sure flexibility is there for people.”
