Sky News host Laura Jayes says a “major electoral battleground” has surfaced ahead of the NSW state election as she analysed all the critical moments from her wide-ranging interview with Opposition Leader Chris Minns.
In the interview, Mr Minns discussed his plans for teachers and schools, aspects relating to privatisation, affordable housing, infrastructure, and energy.
“Despite sharing many personal similarities with Dominic Perrottet – in age, family – they have radically different policy platforms,” Ms Jayes said. “Nowhere is that clearer than on energy – and more broadly, the raging debate over the merits of privatisation versus public ownership of assets.”
