Media Statement by Chris Minns,Premier of NSW
I want to make clear, we’re proud of the progress we’ve made so far, but our whole Labor team knows there’s still a lot more work ahead.
My government views this result as an invitation to work even harder for the entire state.
I want to thank the people of Kiama for putting their trust in Labor. We do not take that trust for granted.
We promised if Katelin was elected, the people of Kiama would have a strong local voice inside government, fighting for better schools, better hospitals, and the infrastructure the community deserves.
Kiama now has that voice inside government, and I know Katelin will be a fierce advocate for her community.
I also acknowledge the strong vote for minor parties and independents, and we take seriously the message from voters that we need to do better.
We will keep working every day to deliver for this community and for the whole of NSW.
We know we have more work to do – we’ll continue to work to deliver a fairer NSW – rebuilding essential services, reinvesting in frontline workers and building a better NSW for all.
