Tomorrow our members have a chance to vote for their own employer and decide who will lead the NSW Government for the next four years.

On 9 November 2022, PSA General Secretary Stewart Little wrote to all major political parties and candidates asking them five key questions on behalf of our membership.

You can read Mr Little’s letter HERE.

The five questions were:

1. Their position on privatisation;
2. Their view on the abolition of the 2.5 per cent wages cap;
3. Whether they would restore neutrality and independence to the Industrial Relations Commission;
4. How would they address the alarming rate of temporary employment in education; and,
5. Their position on repealing and replacing the Government Sector Employment Act.

We have received responses from all parties and candidates, with the exception of the Liberals and Nationals. Independent MP for Murray, Helen Dalton, has promised a reply later.

You can read the replies in the right-hand column on this page.

Using the replies and stated policies from the parties and candidates, we have devised a chart summarising their responses, with positive answers in green, negative responses in red and mixed responses in amber. You can see the summary HERE.

We are encouraging our members to support candidates in both houses of parliament who oppose privatisation and support a fair and Independent Wages system for Public Servants.
