A ban on phones in schools, squashed road plans, and a lifted wage cap. Labor made some bold promises in opposition that it will now need to deliver. Here are five things we can expect from the new government.
Gaming machines will transition to a $50 cash feed-in limit and there will be a ban on signage like "VIP Lounge" where gaming is promoted.
While in opposition, Mr Minns also said Labor would ban political parties from accepting donations from the clubs sector.While being hesitant to commit to a nursing-to-patient ratio system, Mr Minns has made a minimum staffing level commitment for public hospitals. The proposal, which was tentatively endorsed as a starting point by the Nurses and Midwives Association, would see an extra 1,200 health professionals recruited into the system."It's not the entirety of the ratios we would hope for. It's absolutely the beginning of what we need. But we need more," she said.The government will also be looking to hire an additional 500 paramedics in rural and regional areas across NSW.
Labor also says it will build a new 600-bed hospital in the Badgerys Creek area, close to the site of the Western Sydney Airport.Housing reformsThe Minns government has also promised to ban secret rent bidding by mandating any offers above the listed price are made transparent to other applicants. For those looking to enter the housing market, the new government will spend $722 million on a first homebuyers scheme axing stamp duty for properties up to $800,000 and discounting it on dwellings up to $1 million.Loading form...
