The Master of Ceremonies, Sydney Morning Herald journliast Annabel Crabb promises to add some political spice to the proceedings.

‘It is my absolute pleasure to welcome the next NSW Premier to the Goulburn electorate,” Ms Goward said.

“The theme for my re-election will be centred on giving Goulburn a say in government.With the privilege of being the local member while in government, I am sure we can all look forward to many improvements in those areas where Goulburn has suffered badly under the disastrous Labor administrations.

“I can specifically refer to transport, aged and health care and help for the disabled as areas where the Labor administration has absolutely deserted this electorate.

“Of course there are numerous other areas where it will be to the absolute benefit of the people in the Goulburn electorate to have a strong voice in government..”

Ms Goward said Mr O’Farrell would make an outstanding Premier.

“He will have some very steep hills to climb as the Labor Party has left a legacy of a State in absolute ruin.

“But he is up to the task, and has a fine team around him who are itching to take the reins.”
