Acting Leader of the Opposition Natalie Ward has called out the NSW Labor Government for spending more time in their first 100 days in office opening projects delivered by the former Liberal and Nationals Government than delivering their own election promises.
“The only list longer than Labor’s list of broken promises is their list of projects they’re taking credit for,” Ms Ward said.
“Labor Ministers need to spend less time swanning around cutting ribbons and taking credit for projects they often opposed, and more time getting their priorities right and delivering for the families and households of NSW.”
