NSW Opposition leader Kellie Sloane has launched her bid to unseat Premier Chris Minns, pledging to revive the economy and create jobs.
NSW Opposition leader Kellie Sloane has launched her campaign to unseat Premier Chris Minns in the March 2027 election, pledging to 'get the economy moving' and revive what she described as a struggling state economy.
In her first election campaign video, Ms Sloane accused Labor of taking NSW 'from the fastest growing to the slowest' economy. She pledged to 'get our economy moving again so we can lower taxes, create jobs, and deliver affordable housing', saying 'It used to be that if you worked hard, you could get ahead. We've gone from thriving to surviving.'
Ms Sloane, a former journalist and chief executive of Life Education NSW, was elected for the first time in 2023 and took over as Opposition leader after Mark Speakman was ousted in a spill late last year. The NSW Liberals were ousted after 12 years in power, with the state now facing continued cost-of-living pressures, a deepening housing affordability crisis, and rising prices. Both Labor and the Coalition face the threat of an insurgent One Nation at the forthcoming election.
