New South Wales premier-elect Chris Minns has described Labor’s victory as a “humbling experience”, insisting the party’s success after 12 years in the political wilderness was the result of having an “ear to the ground” on cost-of-living pressures in Australia’s largest state.
In his first media conference since Labor’s election victory on Saturday night, the 43-year-old incoming NSW premier admitted the title would take getting used to, saying “today looks different to yesterday”.
