3 unusual facts about Eric Roozendaal


Eric Roozendaal

In 2010 and 2011, Roozendaal was criticised for the deal he brokered, as Treasurer of New South Wales, to privatise some of the NSW Government's electricity assets; the retail branches of Integral Energy and Country Energy were sold to Origin Energy in December 2010.

Roozendaal has described himself as a "rev head", due to his love of V8 Supercars.

Roozendaal claimed the trips were designed to reinforce New South Wales' AAA credit rating through meetings with Moody's and Standard & Poor's, even though both companies had representatives in Australia that Roozendaal could have met with.
