Mark Speakman
NSW Leader of the Opposition
Damien Tudehope
Shadow Treasurer
Tomorrow, Chris Minns, and Daniel Mookhey will hand down their third state budget — while declaring the previous 10 years of progress in New South Wales a mistake.
Last week their government dismissed a decade of delivery, change and transformational infrastructure as "vanity" and they're now asking households across NSW to believe that doing less, building slower and dreaming smaller is a vision for the future.
Leader of the Opposition Mark Speakman said the Minns Labor Government is not focused on your mortgage, your children's future or the services people rely on — they're focused on rewriting history.
"The former Coalition Government delivered a decade of leadership, with record investment in health, housing, education, and the infrastructure that makes our lives work," Mr Speakman said.
"That decade changed NSW — this budget risks wasting it."
Shadow Treasurer Damien Tudehope said what Labor calls "vanity" is what millions of families depend on every day.
"What this Labor Government calls 'vanity' is what delivered jobs, trains, schools, and hospitals for millions of families across NSW.
"They want to cancel the future and rewrite the past. But parents doing the school run, households trying to get ahead, and workers stuck in traffic don't have the luxury of Labor's no ideas for change," Mr Tudehope said.
After 2 years in power, the Minns Labor Government still can't explain how they'll make housing more affordable, how they'll fix emergency departments, or how they'll deliver the next wave of opportunity.
This budget is their chance, but it's also their test.
NSW can't afford a government that governs by press conference and always fails to deliver.
Families deserve leadership — not reannouncements and lectures.
