The idea from NSW Labor and the unions to claw your vote back to themselves was to claim that a vote for the Liberals was in essence giving them a “blank cheque” to do whatever they please. It was a last ditch effort in futility, yet it was a buzz phrase repeated by some in my presence at a recent social event.
What Labor is really saying is, “don’t give them a blank cheque, give it to us instead”. If anyone had a blank cheque is was NSW Labor and they did a great job of flushing it down the toilet.
In reality a vote for the Liberals in NSW wasn’t a vote for a blank cheque. Rather it was a vote for a mop and bucket in order to clean up the mess made by the previous administration. Now the NSW Premier has to go through projects and prioritise as he and his team sort out the ram shackled finances of this state. It will take much of the first term to achieve.
They can’t do whatever they want and they never could. Labor just wanted you to think that.
