HALFWAY POINT: WHAT HAS THE MINNS LABOR GOVERNMENT DELIVERED FOR OUR REGION?

Member for Kiama Gareth Ward has said that today marks the mid-way point in the Minns NSW Labor Government’s term and not a single election promise made at the last election has commenced.

“So many promises were made at the last election, but with so many local Labor MPs in our region and so much political muscle, nothing has been done,” Mr Ward said.  

“Most of the Illawarra media are running a protection-racket for the Labor Party rather than holding them accountable for the promises they made. 

“Not a single election promise has commenced and none of them appear to be commencing this term. Nor has there been a bold and brave vision for the region.

“No access ramps at Dapto, no East Nowra Sub Arterial, no Milton-Ulladulla Bypass, no maternity at Milton Hospital, no MRI at Milton Hospital, and no school at Worrigee. What have this lot actually achieved? 

“Projects like the Shellharbour Hospital, Shoalhaven Hospital and Jervis Bay Road interchange were all started by the former Coalition government. 

“With two years to go, people will judge this government on results, and so far, this Labor government is repeating all the mistakes of the last Labor government,” Mr Ward concluded.
