What is your transport policy? The current government has proposed nothing since winning government, only completing what the previous Berejiklan government started
Over the past days, we’ve seen a series of damning revelations about the construction union (the CFMEU), including direct threats from the NSW Secretary to expose the contents of secret meetings with Labor Ministers, MPs, and public servants. These revelations highlight a serious issue of transparency and accountability within the current government.
The Premier has consistently refused to take decisive action:
❌ Refusal to return donations from the CFMEU’s tainted money.
❌Allowing his MPs to remain members of the CFMEU.
❌Refusal to establish a Royal Commission to thoroughly investigate the scandal and hold those involved accountable.
❌Failure to refer the threats and allegations involving the CFMEU to the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC).
The Opposition will keep pushing for transparency and integrity on these matters. ... See MoreSee Less

Please start announcing transport projects. Labor hasn't made any attempt to propose, plan and build any new metro or light lines since coming into power. We need at least an extension of the Eastern Suburbs Railway to Bondi Beach and light rail down Parramatta Rd

🌞 Good Afternoon, 😊 Congratulations, 🙏 HaVe A GrEaT DaY! #GreAt_PhOtOs, 👍 #Amazing_Work, #GreAt_LeAdeR👏
The government and opposition must resist NIMBY pressure and extend the rail to Bondi Beach. Improved public transport will reduce traffic congestion, boost local businesses, and provide better access for all. Prioritizing the greater good over local objections ensures a vibrant, connected community benefiting everyone.
Dominic Perrottet has left an indelible mark on our State.
His retirement marks the end of a political career defined by visionary leadership and unwavering dedication to the people of NSW. Dom’s contributions to financial management, transformational infrastructure and family support have set a high standard for future leaders.
I thank Dom for his tireless service and wish him all the best with his new role. I also wish Helen, Charlotte, Annabelle, Amelia, Harriet, Beatrice, William and Celeste all the best as they adjust to Dom and life after politics! ... See MoreSee Less

Definitely a negative mark on each of his electorates he managed and the state in general. Mark come to Epping to see how badly a suburb can be destroyed by incompetent members. Especially one who has been missing in action since the last election.
So please Mark …. Start making your voice heard …. You have so much to fire at Chris Minns we hear nothing from you on the news, we don’t vote labour and we deserve a much better governing state govt not one that is tied in with CFMEU , thank you cheers 🍻
Mark Speakman the NSW “equality” bill is dangerous in its entirety. We don’t need this legislation ever in Australia. Please form a great resistance and rejection of it. Thank you.

The NSW Opposition supports the Government’s decision to extend retail trading restrictions to cover all ANZAC Day, to give the service and sacrifices of veterans are appropriate recognition and honour, and to enable people to participate in commemorative services throughout the day.
RSL NSW President Mick Bainbridge, shadow veterans minister Robyn Preston MP and I chatted about this today. ... See MoreSee Less
