IN a convincing win for the Liberal National Coalition, Premier Gladys Berejiklian is not only the first woman ever elected Premier of NSW but the Liberal National Coalition has won a historic third term for the first time in over 50 years. The Premier has spent a great deal of time in Port Stephens in the lead up to the Election and the win which looks to see a majority Government has made many promises which should see a new TAFE in the Bay and a link road to Fingal Bay among other things. In conceding to Kate Washington, Liberal Candidate Jaimie Abbott told News Of The Area, “Kate had an incumbency factor and has had four years in the seat. “We were going for an unprecedented third term. “I was always going to be the underdog but I’m proud that we were able to put Port Stephens into play in the seat. “The people of Port
“I’m very grateful that the people of Port Stephens have placed their trust in me again.”
Stephens have only benefited from this,” Ms Abbott said. “Even though I wasn’t elected, our team feels we accomplished a lot for this electorate. “The electorate has benefited tremendously.

Mr Doran is planning on dedicating the next four years to ‘harassing the Government to fulfil their promises’. Theresa Taylor who stood for the Animal Justice Party (AJP) said, “We are pleased with the results so far, especially as this is the first time the AJP has stood in Port Stephens .
