Federal Liberal candidate for Gilmore Andrew Constance has ruled out accepting any portfolio in a re-elected Morrison government.Labor has accused Andrew Constance of rewriting history over his claims that no Australian company had bid for a billion-dollar state rail contractHe's also ruled out seeking a cabinet position in a re-elected Morrison government
"My focus after 10-and-a-half years of being the state's treasurer, the state's disability minister, the state's finance minister, the state's ageing minister [and minister for] roads, transport and infrastructure is to take time out from being a minister and to actually focus on being a local member," he said."I have no interest. I am not running to be a cabinet minister in the government.
In March 2016 the Stadler met with Wollongong City Council to canvass an approach to set up a facility to commission, produce and maintain the new trains in the Illawarra. "He is putting himself forward as a candidate for federal office and my argument is, 'don't let him do to Australia what he has done to NSW'."
You should be ashamed to run on any scott morrison ticket
not going to win anyway
kelfuller The transport portfolio under AndrewConstance was run as an agency for toll-way companies and developers wanting to build apartment towers around train and metro stations. While the job at hand for the last 20 years was to oil-proof Sydney ChrisMinnsMP KKeneally
Cracked train and useless ferry man.
kelfuller If you want to re-establish a strategically important rail manufacturing sector a run-of-the-mill tender is unsuitable. You'd need to build up a new organisation with technically qualified staff. ChrisMinnsMP KKeneally Instead, Dom_Perrottet created paper tiger TAHE
Just what we need if Scomo gets back, another incompetent minister
kelfuller 130K jobs generated? AndrewConstance should provide a list of projects detailing the type of project (tollways, highways, driverless metros) how many workers were employed in which year and for how long. Maybe the numbers don't stack up either ChrisMinnsMP KKeneally
Mobile speed camera signs removed, the signs stupid slowed cars down.
Andrew Constance What about his not paying 52,000 seriously injured workers via NSW work-cover ? all but 7 claims DENIED around 3,000 suicides How about Andrew supporting sex predator at Willis Merimbula bakery and ignoring victims aged as young as 14 ?
Why did you just do a solid week on Albo's gaffe, but deliberately edited out Morrison's 'Mr Speaker' gaffe from the clip you played yesterday? And why did your live blog ignore Morrison's 'Jobseeker is $46 a week' gaffe today? How can you possibly justify this?
Anyone who votes for this screw-up is as much of a drongo as he is. Nobody has left behind them as many catastrophes as Constance has in NSW. Ferries, light rail, stadium, cost blowouts, tunnel screw-ups… you name the mess, Constance’s fingerprints will be on it.
not even elected yet
Bloody political parties continually choosing unsuitable losers for their own agenda.
Hasn’t got the ticker? Just wants a comfortable back bench to sit on!
Is there a LNP senior member who is not in a web of ambiguity ,suspicion , inept, dishonesty, misoginism, wheel and deal of some kind?
He’s left NSW transport like a train crash,car crash, ferry crash, plane crash, reminds me of the crawling from the wreckage song ! He’s left the carnage behind to get a bludge on the back bench
