"We know there are challenges ahead and accept our responsibility to meet them.
"My message to people of this state is that we will govern for all of NSW. That's what people expect and deserve."
NSW Deputy Premier Prue Car said: "The people of NSW have provided a mandate for change and a fresh start.
"This Government has committed to a significant program of investment in education and health, repairing essential services, helping with the cost of living, improving housing and rental supply and affordability, and boosting local manufacturing, jobs and skills. Energy security is also an immediate priority.
