After two years of Minns Labor Government, NSW families are hurting, businesses are folding, and economic growth has stalled.
Rents have skyrocketed, families are being priced out of their own communities, gambling harm has grown.
Under the Minns Labor Government, elective surgeries have blown out to COVID-era levels, the public health system is going backwards, and the mental health system is in crisis.
Unions are running the state, causing ongoing cause chaos on the Sydney train network. And there’s more strikes on the horizon.
Infrastructure projects are being delayed or kicked down the road.
And housing delivery is failing – in the middle of a housing crisis.
This is the state of NSW after two years of Minns Labor Government.

12 years of neglect from your government, just remember that
What’s worse than a supermarket duopoly? A political duopoly. Vote independent or minors as if your children’s life depends on it.

Great to see Mark! In an increasingly uncertain world, we need to build ever closer relations with our key commonwealth partners, particularly the UK, Canada, and NZ.
Very nice music
Housing is a massive cost of living pressure for people in NSW.
The Minns Labor Government promised to deliver more homes for families in areas that are close to public transport.
Instead, families are being priced out of their own communities.
Rents have skyrocketed.
Annual NSW housing approvals collapsed to their lowest levels in 12 years.
NSW is now 40% behind national housing accord targets.
At this rate, under a Minns Labor Government, NSW will fall 150,000 houses short of its target.
The Minns Labor Government’s solution - higher taxes and charges including a $12,000 tax on every new home in Greater Sydney.

Well done Mark Speakman
Labor and Chris Minns have slashed cost of living support for struggling families and households, including Active Kids vouchers, Creative Kids vouchers, First Lap vouchers and Back to School Vouchers.

We cannot pay everything for families to raise their children.state debt woukd be bigger than a mountain.not enough doctors in our hospital, country hospitals have limited maternity services
We need more Metro lines
Yes labor sucks. But liberals locked us down for two years, destroying people’s livelihoods. Then they fined people incredible amounts when they protested it!
What about the vouchers the plumber in londonderry gets
Your government started it during your 12 years in office so there you go it’s nothing to do with Chris minns when you guys started it when you were in office

While other global cities invest in new infrastructure projects, the Minns Labor Government is leaving Sydney behind.
Chris Minns has finally admitted that his ‘do nothing” government has no commitment to new metro extensions in western Sydney from Tallawong to St Marys and from Bradfield to Leppington. He’s kicked them down the road for “future governments”. This detail was buried in the Minns Labor Government’s Aerotropolis Sector Plan.
He’s also refused to fully fund Parramatta Light Stage 2.
The Liberals transformed Sydney’s transport network - successfully planning and designing:
✅Tallawong to Chatswood metro
✅ Chatswood to Sydenham metro
✅ Sydenham to Bankstown metro
✅ Sydney CBD to Parramatta and St Marys to Bradfield Metro lines
They built most of it in just 12 years.
Labor has made no commitment to any other new Metro lines. This is the state of NSW after two years of Minns Labor Government.

Londonderry plumber has bobcat ready to build👍
Since Minns has basically said no new Metro till the 2040's, the Liberal Party should just start telling the electorate their commitments to fund and build new metro lines in preparation for the next election in 2027. If anything it will wedge the government and show just how bad they are on transport policy. It will show how visionless the current govt is.
In the Herald today John Graham is peddling that Labor lie that the cost of Metro West blew out by $12 billion under the Liberals. You and Natalie really need to publically challenge them every time they come up with this nonsense.
This is your ticket to victory Mark. We need a bold government to continue the metro revolution!
Blah blah blah you guys privatised public transport brought overseas made stuff then attacks the government and wants to get back in office in 2 years time 🥴
