WITH the 2023 state election just five months away, Labor state opposition leader Chris Minns has moved into election mode, quietly confident, it seems, that the government of Premier Dominic Perrottet will be voted out of office next March, ending 12 years of Coalition rule.
Mr Minns arrived in Newcastle yesterday afternoon for a short overnight stay that has him scheduled to return to Sydney today after a short program of engagements ends with a Business Hunter breakfast forum.
