Member for Kiama Gareth Ward has blasted the NSW Government over its failure to deliver on election promises as Premier Chris Minns enters the second half of his first term in office.

Monday marked the halfway mark of Minns’ four-year term and he was blase about its significance when asked about the milestone.

"I don't have much time to think about it," he told reporters at a media event promoting the Western Harbour Tunnel and the Warringah Freeway Upgrade project.

"And I'd suspect that your average voter thought about it even less."

Ward is furious about the lack of action from the Labor government in the Illawarra and South Coast.

“So many promises were made at the last election, but with so many local Labor MPs in our region and so much political muscle, nothing has been done,” Mr Ward said. 

“Not a single election promise has commenced and none of them appear to be commencing this term. Nor has there been a bold and brave vision for the region. 

“No access ramps at Dapto, no East Nowra Sub Arterial, no Milton-Ulladulla Bypass, no maternity at Milton Hospital, no MRI at Milton Hospital, and no school at Worrigee. What have this lot actually achieved? 

“Projects like the Shellharbour Hospital, Shoalhaven Hospital and Jervis Bay Road interchange were all started by the former government.”

The independent Kiama MP called on the government to start delivering on its promises and also accused media outlets in the region of turning a blind eye to the lack of action from local Labor MPs.

“Most of the Illawarra media are running a protection racket for the Labor Party rather than holding them accountable for the promises they made,” he said.

“With two years to go, people will judge this government on results, and so far, this Labor government is repeating all the mistakes of the last Labor government.”
