Mark Speakman
Leader of the Opposition
As the final sitting week of the year begins, it’s time to reflect on 20 months of the Minns Labor Government.
The result is that New South Wales is worse off, and this government has very little to show for its time in office.
Labor has delivered at least 52 announcements of taskforces, inquiries and reviews, but no meaningful outcomes for the people of NSW.
Housing approvals have collapsed to their lowest levels in 12 years, rents have skyrocketed, and families are being priced out of their communities.
Hospitals are going backwards, and cost-of-living pressures continue to get worse. Chris Minns promised stability, but instead his government has delivered paralysis.
This is a low vision, low energy government that tries to make itself a small target and hides behind empty announcements, while families and businesses pay the price.
We’ve seen this before. Between 1998 and 2011, NSW Labor promised at least five major rail projects – and none of them were delivered.
Chris Minns is Bob Carr 2.0 – big talk, no action, and endless disappointment.
The final sitting week will be a sobering reminder of a government too weak to lead, too afraid to make decisions, and too paralysed to act. After 20 months of the Minns Labor Government, families are not better off – they’re worse off.
