Premier Chris Minns celebrated 100 days in office by foreshadowing that \u2018a range of infrastructure projects will be put on ice\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Minns told the ABC “we’ve already identified a range of infrastructure projects that we don’t believe are a priority right now.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Acting Leader of the Opposition Natalie Ward said the Premier must come clean and be honest with the people of NSW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s a simple question that the Premier should answer \u2013 what projects are you cutting?\u201d Ms Ward asked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFor 100 days we\u2019ve seen broken promises and wrong priorities, and now we\u2019re seeing cuts to infrastructure. This is a Government that doesn\u2019t have a plan to keep our state moving.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhen the Premier talks about priorities we know that he can\u2019t be trusted to do what\u2019s best for our State, prioritising unions ahead of families. Cutting vital infrastructure projects is in Labor\u2019s DNA, they just can\u2019t help themselves, and the result is more congestion, fewer jobs and less productivity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLabor can\u2019t be trusted to build the infrastructure our state needs, having already said it would cancel the Great Western Highway Tunnel and the Westmead to the Aerotropolis, and Bankstown to Glenfield Metro Lines.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Premier needs to demonstrate leadership and tell us what projects are being cut today, not in three months time.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Labor\u2019s plan to cut vital infrastructure projects is in stark contrast to the record of the previous Coalition Government that delivered bold infrastructure projects like WestConnex, NorthConnex, Sydney Metro, scores of new schools, hospitals, arts and cultural projects \u2013 investments in communities totalling billions of dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To find out more about Labor\u2019s broken promises and wrong priorities you can visit www.laborsbrokenpromises.com.au<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Premier Chris Minns celebrated 100 days in office by foreshadowing that \u2018a range of infrastructure projects will be put on ice\u2019.
