Premier Chris Minns has been giving pep talks to ministers in the NSW cabinet as Labor approaches its first year in power. His influence over the new government has earned him the nickname 'Mr Everywhere'.
In NSW cabinet this week, Premier Chris Minns gave ministers one of the complimentary pep talks his colleagues say have become increasingly common as Labor approaches its first year in power. It was “humbling that the best week the government had was the one where I didn’t turn up”, Minns said, referring to the final sitting week of 2023 which he missed after contracting COVID. It wasn’t the first time he’d made the quip.
He made the same joke during an end-of-year retreat for ministers held in Wollongong before Christmas, and in one cabinet meeting late last year, he urged his colleagues to “own” their portfolios by engaging in public debate. The missives may reflect a recognition on Minns’ behalf that, since becoming the first Labor leader to win government from opposition in NSW since Bob Carr in 1995, the breadth of his influence over a new and inexperienced government has earned the nickname “Mr Everywhere” in Macquarie Stree
