On Saturday, New South Wales has a choice: a choice of a tired, old, rorting, wasting government, the government that we currently have, which Perrottet leads, or the fresh start of a Chris Minns Labor government. This is what we all want. We want a fresh start in the state. We want to make sure that we're doing best. We want teachers. We want high schools. We want nurses. We want hospitals. We want fire brigades and stations. We want ambulances. We want the support of everyone who has been rorted over the last 12 years by a wasted government.

We have fantastic candidates in the Hunter. We have Clayton Barr and Sonia Hornery, two legends of the Australian Labor Party in New South Wales, and we also have two brand-new candidates for our area. We have the wonderful Peree Watson. Peree Watson is going up against a tired old Nationals Upper Hunter member in that area. He's new to the seat, but he's a bit quiet in that seat, I can tell you. Peree Watson—what an absolute legend of a lady: Peree '23. Peree will get there, and Peree will help us get over the line. Then we have our fantastic candidate Steve Ryan down at Lake Macquarie. We need Steve to push hard as he is continuing to do. I've been out doorknocking with both of these amazing candidates, and I wish them luck in the New South Wales state election. Go Labor!
