Premier Roger Cook expressed confidence in leading Labor to a fourth term in 2029, despite pressing issues like skyrocketing housing rents and a struggling energy grid. The government’s housing policies are criticized for leaving over 1,300 homes undeveloped, while the energy market faces potential shortfalls. Additionally, the healthcare and justice systems are under strain, with record ambulance ramping and trial delays. Critics argue that rather than focusing on future elections, the government should address current challenges to avoid handing the opposition an advantage.
