NSW: Keneally says talks with PM "productive"

New South Wales Premier KRISTINA KENEALLY says Prime Minister KEVIN RUDD has congratulated
her on her new role.

Ms KENEALLY said yesterday she hadn't heard from the PM since being sworn in to the
state's top job on Friday.

But they caught up last night .. for what she says was a lengthy and very productive
conversation.

She says Mr RUDD didn't repeat his public comments in which he urged the NSW government
to get its act together .. but she repeated her appraisal of the PM as a man of integrity
and great vision for the country.

Ms KENEALLY says she'll be discussing issues like health and public transport at this
week's Council of Australian Governments (COAG) meeting in Brisbane.
