There were blushes in NSW Labor on Tuesday, when leader Chris Minns’ “zero-emissions” campaign bus ran flat – forcing a return to an old-fashioned gas guzzler.

The much-hyped electric bus was on the road from Warragamba Dam in Sydney’s south-west on Tuesday morning with travelling media and Labor staffers on board.
