As far as new year’s resolutions went, no one saw this coming. Could it be that in 2025, an opposition party in NSW takes the unprecedented step of vowing to throw political sparring and point-scoring out the window and work with the government of the day to solve a seemingly impenetrable problem? In the very state that views politics as a blood sport?

We all make January 1 resolutions with the best intentions and a keenness to right the wrongs of the past year. Too much wine? Quit alcohol. Too much snacking? Cut out carbs. Save more, spend less. And on it goes. Political parties and their leaders, however, are much less likely to commit to unachievable undertakings, lest they be held to account.

NSW is falling........
