Speaking at a press conference today, he was asked about his dream for how Sydney would look when projects such as the Sydney Metro were completed.
There are two NSW elections before then, and Minns conceded the next one in March 2027 would be his last as leader of the state’s Labor Party and as premier.

“Though I won’t be in this position forever, my hope as a citizen is that we significantly enhance housing affordability for the younger generation,” Minns expressed.

“The future is uncertain. There’s a chance I might not be around after the 2027 elections,” he added.

Minns embarked on his political journey in state government in 2015, representing Kogarah, located in Sydney’s southern region.

Since 2021, he has been at the helm of the Labor Party, guiding it to success in the 2023 state elections, thus concluding a 12-year period in opposition.

Currently, the party governs with a minority, needing just one more seat to secure a majority.

The latest Roy Morgan poll last month saw Minns hold a clear margin as preferred premier over opposition leader Kellie Sloane, leading 60.5 per cent to Sloane’s 31.5 per cent.

Minns was widely praised for his response to the Bondi shooting in December, when he pledged to overhaul the state’s firearms laws, and also drafted in temporary laws tightening rules on protests in parts of Sydney.
He also defended the actions of police who arrested several protesters who were demonstrating at Town Hall last month during the visit of Israeli President Isaac Herzog.

The next election is slated for March 12 next year.
