00:00The Premier on Sydney's urban fringe, promising to help those being pushed out of the market.
00:08The only way we're going to turn that around is to build new houses.
00:12Camden's one of the fastest growing local government areas in Australia and housing and infrastructure are big issues for council too.
00:19But thanks to the nominations fiasco, just one Liberal candidate will be on the ballot paper.
00:25I don't want people in New South Wales to think that the Labor Party would look at these results and think,
00:31oh, we smashed the Liberals, what a great result.
00:34After missing the deadline, the Liberal Party's now decided not to seek an extension in the courts.
00:40I think it will upset a lot of people because there are a lot of Liberal voters out here.
00:43They should be given the right to lodge it so we can vote in a democratic way.
00:50Such an important issue shouldn't have been neglected.
00:54While people here in Camden will still have some choice, there'll be voters elsewhere who'll have none.
00:59By abandoning its threats of legal action, the Liberal Party's ensured some council results are set in stone.
01:06In Penrith's East Ward, there won't even be an election.
01:09Due to the nominations blunder, all five of the positions will go to the Labor Party.
01:14The Labor Mayor says he's not celebrating the Liberals' demise.
01:18I really feel sorry for what's happened to them, but we're here for everyone.
01:22We're not just here for Labor voters, we're here for everyone of Penrith.
01:25While in other shires, like Junee, there aren't even enough candidates to fill all the positions.
01:30Perhaps it's just because they're so confident that we're doing a good job.
01:34I'm hoping this might be a bit of a wake-up call, that if people are unhappy, well, put your hand up and have a go.
01:42The only prerequisites? Care for community and adherence to deadlines.
