As the busy lead-up to Christmas fast approaches, Sydney's train-travelling public is hoping the premier knows what he is doing to keep the trains running.
Sydney rail commuters may be feeling the impact of the government's promise to deliver bigger pay rises to public sector workers.It was a promise that helped Labor get elected. But scrapping the public sector wages cap has created headaches for the Minns government — and by extension, Sydney siders who rely on trains.But the premier admits he may not get the deal done in the next fortnight, saying the "detailed work" is yet to come.
When questioned about Labor's handling of successive industrial disputes, Mr Minns directed blame at the former Coalition government. It should be noted that inflation was lower when Mr Costa was treasurer, hovering between 1.9 and 5 per cent. "Only an industrial relations novice would have thought that you could give a massive increase to the teachers without it flying through to the rest of the public service," Mr Costa said.
