Leader of the NSW Opposition Mark Speakman has called on Premier Chris Minns to put the people of NSW first in 2024 and make some New Year’s resolutions to fix his Government’s many failures.
“There is a long list of New Year’s resolutions Chris Minns should make, and it should start with removing his two of his embattled Ministers from their critical portfolios,” Mr Speakman said.
“Jo Haylen’s ‘jobs for Labor mates’ scandal continues to distract from the important task of delivering on our state’s transport needs. Yasmin Catley has failed to comprehend the most basic elements of her job as Police Minister.”
“Chris Minns should also resolve to address the ongoing cost-of-living crisis with better support for families and households. He should immediately adopt the Coalition’s energy relief plan which would see every household in NSW eligible for $250 off their bills.”
“Chris Minns went to the election saying he would ‘roll over’ important cost-of-living programs including Active Kids, Creative Kids and back-to-school vouchers. Instead, he viciously cut these programs leaving many families worse off in the middle of Labor’s cost-of-living crisis.”
Chris Minns’ New Year’s resolutions list, for starters:
- Remove embattled Ministers Jo Haylen and Yasmin Catley.
- Restore cost-of-living support for families and households.
- Come clean on impact of union wage deals.
- Reverse heartless cuts to palliative care.
- Involve local communities in addressing housing supply.
- Outline new infrastructure plans to match new housing proposals.
- Reverse attacks on community clubs.
- Reverse parking charges for hospital staff.
- Address the state’s rising road toll.
The NSW Opposition will continue to hold the Minns Labor Government to account in 2024, put families and households before unions and deliver the vision and drive that NSW deserves.
