“NSW election results: Labor sweats on possibility of minority government as jostle for Liberal leadership begins”
Minority government is only a problem for a government that can’t or won’t negotiate with the cross-bench. #ChrisMinns has given every indication he can build consensus. Minority government can actually work in the interests of punters.

“More than 700 regional NSW schools ineligible for rural incentive scheme intended to attract staff”
Once #ChrisMinns has withdrawn the public service salary cap and #PrueCar has canned this and other hypocritical #LNP rorts, maybe we will see an upswing in teacher morale.

@rwest #ChrisMinns seems alright 🐱

@dropbear42 @lilstevie @ajsadauskas@lemmy.ml @wintermin @kentparkstreet @snowchook Chris Minns is also thanking all his extended family, unlike Dom, who forgot to thank his brothers.

Tonight's result just wouldn't have been the same without them...

Biggest cheer of the night.

Is #ChrisMinns on the Fediverse yet? #congrats

“The prominent independent vowing to make pokies cashless — even if Labor wins NSW election”
I hope #ChrisMinns is prepared to roll over on this one. It’s the right thing to do.

#NSWLabor and #ChrisMinns are promising a 'toll cap' for #Sydney motorists in the lead up to the NSW election next month.

After all, we have an Opal fare cap for public transport riders so why not a toll cap for drivers?

Well there are a bunch of reasons...

NSW premier hits back at 'Catholic gut' snipe from clubs boss on gaming reforms
#ClubsNSW has grown obscenely rich and powerful by exploiting vulnerable punters and bullying governments. I don’t vote #LNP and I don’t like much of what #DominicPerrottet says but I fully support his stand against the gambling industry.
I would strongly encourage #ChrisMinns to make this a bipartisan issue because #ClubsNSW must not be allowed to roll #Perrottet and consolidate their hold over NSW even more.

An excellent and considered episode of 7am on the Santos project in Narrabri, from the point of view of Tony Windsor.

Imho the current nsw coalition have made a lot of positive changes to the state, particularly in Sydney, but a huge weakspot is their inconsistent environmental policy. I would love to see state Labor filling this void, but they don't. #ChrisMinns silent on the issue of #Santos #Narrabri while #MattKean drops his apparent green credentials to force landowners to allow surveyors on their property for pipeline construction.

As we approach the election it would be great if #Labor were offering an alternative vision for the state but all I've heard from them is populist buzzword policies like free demerit point reversals, less speed cameras and more Australian built trains. Am I missing something here?

‘Undermine our road safety’: promised rewards for ‘safe’ NSW drivers criticised by experts
#ChrisMinns has made very few mis-steps in the NSW state election campaign but I think playing political games with road safety could be his #Stage3TaxCuts blunder.
