NSW Treasurer Daniel Mookhey’s media statement issued 7:22 PM yesterday is another case of NSW Labor and Chris Minns being joined at the hip with Anthony Albanese and shows just how out of touch Chris Minns and Daniel Mookhey are with the cost of living crisis.
 
While families across NSW and Australia struggle with rising costs, Daniel Mookhey tried to spin the biggest private health insurance premium hike in seven years as a so-called win.
 
Daniel Mookhey and the Minns Labor Government stood by and cheered while the Albanese Government approved another hit to household budgets. More than 15 million Australians with private health insurance will now be slugged with higher premiums, at a time when they can least afford it.
 
Labor claims to stand for working families, but in two years Chris Minns and Daniel Mookhey have delivered little except re-announcements, cost of living pain, cuts, delays, excuses and spin.
 
The latest Bureau of Health Information (BHI) figures confirm emergency wait times have hit their worst levels on record, with just 61.3% of patients receiving treatment on time.

  • 98,608 people are now stuck waiting for critical procedures, an increase of 7.7% in just 12 months.
  • Labor’s failure to manage the health system is leaving frontline staff overworked and patients waiting longer than ever.

Two consecutive years of real cuts to the NSW health budget have led to poorer patient outcomes and a system under unprecedented pressure.
 
Instead of addressing these failures, Daniel Mookhey followed orders—backing in an above-inflation premium hike and attacking anyone who dares to question Labor’s failures.
 
The NSW Coalition warned the Treasurer last year about premium increases when Chris Minns and he went after the private health insurers to fix their own budget problems. 
 
Australia and NSW are worse off under Labor.
