Our hands are up… Voters in 4 NSW state electorates are cast their ballots tomorrow in what’s being billed as a test for the federal Coalition. And look, voters are perfectly capable of distinguishing between state and federal issues, but with a national election due soon, here we are… They are on for varying reasons: former Premier Gladys Berejiklian resigned last October and her seat of Willoughby on Sydney’s North Shore is up for grabs. Deputy Premier/NSW Nationals leader John Barilaro also called time on politics, and Transport Minister Andrew Constance pulled out for a federal run. And on the Labor side, former leader Jodi McKay had also had enough. Pundits say it will be an insight into how the NSW Coalition’s pandemic management has gone down. If that whets your appetite for a general election in NSW, you’ll have to wait until 25 March 2023.
