SYDNEY - Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s Liberal Party faces a tight election contest in Australia’s largest state on Saturday, polls suggest, as a strong economy and a troubled opposition may not surmount voter anger over the removal of his predecessor.
The outcome in a state that has historically swung between the two major parties and is home to some marginal electorates that Morrison’s party must win to secure re-election will be a pointer to the May result. Australia’s robust economy would be the envy of politicians heading into a poll in other countries, but the state’s finances are in even better shape, with unemployment near a record low, below the national figure of 4.9 percent.
Voter frustration that the strong economy has yet to deliver better infrastructure has dented support for NSW Liberal leader Gladys Berejiklian, analysts said.
