he was minister for finance , infrastructure , regulatory reform , ports and waterways under former premier nathan rees .
he was a controversial figure during his time in politics , known as a factional boss , within the nsw labor right whose terrigals sub-faction has twice dumped the sitting labor premier during 2007 and 2010 .
on 11 november 2010 , he announced his decision to not contest the 2011 state election .
