Presentation to Millennium Forum Briefing, American Club, Macquarie Street, Sydney

Thank you Ladies and Gentlemen for coming along this morning at this busy time. I appreciate your support and your interest. I don’t wish to delay you any longer than is necessary so I propose to get right to it.

2006 may be drawing to a close, but the Government’s taxpayer funded advertising blitz makes it clear that the final phase of the campaign for the State Election on March 24 has begun.

The Government’s pre-Christmas advertising blitz would make even Gerry Harvey blush. But there are some important differences. Unlike Labor’s ads, you can believe what Gerry has to say and you don’t have to pay for them.

The taxpayers of NSW have paid enough for this Government. Taxpayers shouldn’t have to pay out again as Labor tries to get themselves re-elected.
