Two years ago, Chris Minns campaigned on \u201ca fresh start\u201d and stood shoulder to shoulder with Anthony Albanese.
\u00a0
Today, we\u2019re stuck with the same old Labor \u2013 all talk, no delivery.
\u00a0
No commitment to new metro projects and any construction not before 2040 (and finishing many years after that).
Deteriorating hospital emergency department and elective surgery waiting lists and times.
Ongoing union chaos across our transport systems.
A housing crisis getting worse by the week.
Announcements that become re-announcements.\u00a0
\u00a0
Labor\u2019s own plans quietly confirm what families across Western Sydney already know – that little is getting built. Critical road infrastructure projects like the Eastern Ring Road, Devonshire Link Road, and Bradfield Metro Link Road have zero funding and zero construction before 2040, with lengthy delays on other projects.
\u00a0
The Minns Labor Government inherited momentum, progress and ribbons to cut from the Liberals and Nationals, but now all it delivers are delays, reviews and spin.
\u00a0
This isn\u2019t a fresh start. This is Bob Carr Labor all over again \u2013 and Chris Minns is taking his cues straight from Anthony Albanese.
\u00a0
Big promises. Slick press conferences. Announcements. Re-announcements and no results.
\u00a0
This week NSW will hear the same tired lines from the Premier when he says, \u201cWe know there\u2019s more to do\u201d, \u201cNobody\u2019s taking a victory lap\u201d and that \u201cno one’s doing a lap of honour\u201d and that \u201cthe \u201caverage voter doesn\u2019t think about it\u201d.
\u00a0
But the people of NSW have thought about it.
\u00a0
They\u2019ve noticed the metro projects will now stop.
They\u2019ve noticed hospital wait times are blowing out.
They\u2019ve noticed the unions are running the show.
They\u2019ve noticed nothing is being delivered.
They\u2019ve noticed no real cost of living relief.
\u00a0
The Liberals and Nationals delivered the roads, the hospitals, the schools, the metros and cost of living relief. We got NSW moving.
\u00a0
Labor promised a fresh start. All we\u2019ve got is a dead stop.
\u00a0
NSW is worse off under the Minns Labor Government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
