Dominic Perrottet and Chris Minns correctly name their children in order of age, a welcome moment of clarity in a muted campaign
Minns also opened himself to attack by simultaneously criticising the Coalition for a series of infrastructure projects including new Metro lines in south-west and western Sydney which Labor says don’t stack up financially, while also accusing it of allowing too much development in western Sydney without adequate infrastructure.“You’ve got to plan for the future and that’s exactly what we’re doing with the Metro trains.
Which really goes to the heart of the Coalition’s problem in this election. For 12 years it has told voters in NSW that “asset recycling” – privatisation by another word – was the key to its impressive record on new infrastructure. Perrottet was again forced to rule out the sale of Sydney Water despite documents on Tuesday showing the government at least contemplated the sale, while also insisting he could continue to fund billions of dollars worth of new infrastructure promises. He was also forced to clarify who would be eligible for the government’s signature ‘Kids Future Fund’ after the treasurer, Matt Kean, struggled to answer questions about the policy earlier in the day.
