An election post-mortem by party elders Nick Greiner and Peta Seaton says the number one factor behind the March poll defeat of the Perrottet government was the “It’s time” factor.
The NSW Liberals election post-mortem has blamed former prime minister Scott Morrison, the “dysfunction” of the party’s state executive and an “It’s time” factor for its loss at the March poll.
Greiner and Seaton briefed NSW MPs on their findings on Tuesday, telling the Liberal party room that the number one factor in the party’s loss was the “It’s time” factor after 12 years in power. However, the damage to the Coalition’s standing among voters was not confined to Morrison. While the review was not critical of Perrottet — finding that while he was not as popular as his predecessor, Gladys Berejiklian, he had won over voters — bad behaviour within the NSW party was also a factor in the loss as was the late retirements of a number of senior MPs.
The Coalition lost nine seats at the March election, while Labor won minority government on the back of victories in key western Sydney seats such as Penrith, Parramatta, East Hills and Camden.
