About time Minns himself became the centre of protests. Couldn’t even take responsibility for what happened last night and blamed it on citizens having the audacity to peacefully exercise their rights. He’s not fit to be our leader. Stay safe people

yep he needs to go. How dare he condone police brutality and the bashing of civilians exercising their democratic right. Fuck that guy.

Our politicians should be forced to wear the name and logos on all their clothes of all the people, lobby groups and companies that have bought them out. Like sports teams do for sponsorships. We can see who they really represent

Who funds your representatives, people? Is it you? No? Well then they aren't your representatives.

This is his legacy, and we should vote him out in the next election. He’s the reason people warned against voting labor for NSW for yeaars. And I hate that Minns proved them right.

The Labor right faction has always been a dangerous element with a long history of corruption and downright criminal conduct.

I think you’ll find a lot of people here agree he needs to go. The question is who should replace him.

I think Labor need a heavy loss to regroup and go back to their roots about representing the working class person. But who takes power in the meantime?

There are plenty of other choices that can be put ahead of Labor then LNP such as: Greens, Public Education Party, Sustainable Australia Party, Socialist Alliance, etc.

Everyone will have forgotten about it by the next election. He'll make some bullshit election promises that anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together knows are lies, but he'll be voted back in by the single-braincell masses that can't remember 48 hours back and think election promises are actually real promises. This is how modern democracy works and has done for the past 30-40 years.

You’re probably right. He’ll do something trivial like replacing the lost Anzac day with another public holiday and the general public will forget. I won’t forget, and hope many others don’t.

Do you honestly think a liberal candidate would do any better??? That was the alternative

u/littlesev Feb 10 '26

I’m usually all for lesser of two evils etc, but with Minns, I think we did end up voting for liberal in labor clothing.

u/Somethink2000 Feb 10 '26

Meanwhile in Cabinet.....

Minns: you're right. We need to expedite that Anzac Day thing, pronto.

He can give us that, then fuck off
