“A fresh start” that’s gone nowhere - two years of the Minns Labor government
Two years ago, Chris Minns campaigned on “a fresh start” and stood shoulder to shoulder with Anthony Albanese.

Two years ago, Chris Minns campaigned on “a fresh start” and stood shoulder to shoulder with Anthony Albanese.
Today, we’re stuck with the same old Labor – all talk, no delivery.
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.
Labor’s 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.
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.
This isn’t a fresh start. This is Bob Carr Labor all over again – and Chris Minns is taking his cues straight from Anthony Albanese.
Big promises. Slick press conferences. Announcements. Re-announcements and no results.
This week NSW will hear the same tired lines from the Premier when he says, “We know there’s more to do”, “Nobody’s taking a victory lap” and that “no one's doing a lap of honour” and that “the “average voter doesn’t think about it”.
But the people of NSW have thought about it.
They’ve noticed the metro projects will now stop.
They’ve noticed hospital wait times are blowing out.
They’ve noticed the unions are running the show.
They’ve noticed nothing is being delivered.
They’ve noticed no real cost of living relief.
The Liberals and Nationals delivered the roads, the hospitals, the schools, the metros and cost of living relief. We got NSW moving.
Labor promised a fresh start. All we’ve got is a dead stop.
NSW is worse off under the Minns Labor Government.
