There has been a steady procession of Liberals from our area appearing before ICAC. It is interesting to hear the member for Dobell calling out, because she has also appeared before ICAC—something that is totally unacceptable.

But the Baird government's problems do not stop with ICAC. The Baird government's Smart and Skilled program has been an attack on TAFE, an attack on students and has led to massive job losses. Mike Baird failed to stand up to Tony Abbott when he ripped $16 billion out of New South Wales hospitals, when he cut pension indexation, leaving 775,000 pensioners in New South Wales worse off, when he axed the schoolkids bonus and when Tony Abbott kicked 400,000 New South Wales families off family tax benefit.

And now Mike Baird wants to sell off our electricity assets. Under Mike Baird, electricity prices have only gone one way, and that is up. We need in New South Wales a government that will stand up to Tony Abbott and not sell off our electricity. (Time expired)
