Joe Hockey (North Sydney, Liberal Party, Treasurer) Share this | Hansard source

I only wish that some of the other states that are run by the Labor Party could emulate the way that Mike Baird has run New South Wales. Instead it is the Labor Party that is tearing up job-creating projects like the east-west tunnel and the East West Link in Melbourne. They have also got a huge problem associated with their failure to be able to pay for new infrastructure in Queensland. So we are waiting to hear what is happening. The biggest threat to the prosperity of New South Wales is not the GST appropriation. The biggest threat to the prosperity of New South Wales is the threat of Labor being elected in two Saturdays time.
