In 12 months' time, NSW will have a choice about its future at the 2027 State Election.
After three years of the Minns Labor Government, NSW is going backwards, and Chris Minns has no plan to make life easier for families and grow the NSW economy.
Economic growth is at a 30-year low outside of the pandemic years, with Chris Minns and Labor taking NSW from the state with the strongest economic growth (4.1% GSP in 2022-23) to the weakest in the nation (0.9% GSP in 2024-25).
NSW inflation is above the national average, 6200 businesses have closed their doors in the previous financial year, business confidence has plummeted to three-year lows, taxes have increased by 30% and Labor is more than 40% behind on their housing targets.
Labor has taken NSW to the back of the pack.
The NSW Liberals and Nationals will restore our state as the engine room of our national economy with a long-term plan which will:
- Boost housing supply by cutting red tape and lowering taxes.
- Address cost of living pressures on families.
- Support small and medium businesses, by slashing red tape.
- Support our front-line services by reducing waiting times, increasing reliability and ensuring people receive the support and care they deserve.
- Deliver the essential infrastructure a growing NSW needs.
NSW Liberal Leader, Kellie Sloane, said that NSW deserves better than what it has had under three years of Chris Minns and Labor.
“NSW was once the engine room of the country but after three years under the Minns Labor Government it is now lagging behind every other state,” Ms Sloane said.
“People are working harder than ever but feel like they are falling behind.”
“NSW needs a government that backs families, strengthens communities and plans for our future.”
“Over the next 12 months, the NSW Liberals and Nationals will announce our long-term plan to make NSW the strongest performing state in the nation.”
NSW Nationals Leader, Gurmesh Singh, said regional NSW has been neglected for three years under the Minns Labor Government.
“Under Chris Minns and Labor, regional NSW is an afterthought – we are the first to lose funding, and the last to get it,” Mr Singh said.
“Whether it is our hospitals, roads, or schools, infrastructure in our regions is in disrepair because the investment is no longer there.”
“Farmers and regional businesses are struggling. Families are finding it harder than ever to get ahead and our regional, rural, and remote communities are going backwards.”
“When regional NSW suffers, all of NSW suffers. Only the NSW Liberals and Nationals will restore vital supports to our regions to ensure they thrive.”
