00:00We're both approaching this by-election with a bit of nerves,
00:02if I'm going to be completely honest,
00:04but also with a real determination to speak with as many people
00:07as we can in the next few weeks and see if we can get a win.
00:10Premier, is Labour the underdog in this election?
00:13Look, I think so.
00:14We won't really know until the votes are counted on the 13th,
00:19so I'll just leave it up to individual voters to make the decision.
00:24Premier, can I ask about you?
00:25It feels like Emberis.
00:27It feels like Emberis.
00:28They're not Emberis.
00:28And when I was asked in 2023 if I would stand it to the future,
00:32if I wasn't successful, I made that commitment to my community
00:34that I would be here for any subsequent election.
00:38So I'm holding to that promise, and that's one thing that I can assure people
00:42they will find about me is that when I do make a promise,
00:48I will move through with it and I will make sure
00:50that the New South Wales government is moving through with it as well.
