Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast, Mr Scot MacDonald, said that the new Member-elect for the Gosford state electorate, Ms Liesl Tesch, should consider herself ‘on notice’ to deliver her election campaign promises.
“I congratulate Liesl Tesch for her win in Gosford on Saturday; I also thank Jilly Pilon for fighting so hard and so honestly for her community,” Mr MacDonald said of the Labor and Liberal candidates.
“I note Shadow Minister for the Central Coast, Mr David Harris, is calling on the Berejiklian Government to honour its promises.
“In case Mr Harris was asleep over the weekend, the ALP won the seat of Gosford.
“The electors in the by-election have every right to expect Ms Tesch to deliver on her promises.
“Labor made their commitments knowing they were in Opposition.
“They knew what capacity they had to deliver over $100 million in promises.
“Along with every voter in Gosford, I will be holding Ms Tesch accountable for delivering on her promises to build an underpass at the Rawson Road rail crossing.
“We expect her to roll out a Nurses’ Walk in Centre.
“I am looking forward to Ms Tesch opening a Services NSW Centre in Woy Woy by March 2019.
“And, of course, we are looking forward to the details on greater investment in education and TAFE in the Gosford electorate,” Mr MacDonald said.
“In March 2019, the voters will have the chance to judge Ms Tesch’s performance against her election promises.
“That is how election promises work, unless Mr Harris is implying we can’t trust Labor.”
