🟠 MIKE NEWMAN UNVEILS ONE NATION STATE REFORM PLATFORM TO CUT PAYROLL TAXES, BUILD COAL POWER, AND REIN IN BUREAUCRATS 🟠
In a 101-minute sit down interview with Steven Tripp from Commanding the Narrative, new One Nation NSW leader Mike Newman for Cessnock - One Nation laid out a hard-hitting economic platform designed to strip power away from bloated Sydney departments and deliver direct relief to working families across the state.
Newman spent 25 years in finance in Japan and three years selling the state to Asian investors as its senior trade and investment commissioner in Tokyo, a role the Minns government axed in 2024.
His detailed plans include to eliminate regional payroll tax completely, halve it in Sydney, build a new coal fired power station of at least 2,000MW, and shut down EnergyCo bureaucracy to drive down skyrocketing electricity bills.
To force real accountability onto government, he committed to freezing pay for failing departmental heads and locking in a strict 15-year consulting ban to stop the executive gravy train. Asked directly, he said he is pro-life and dead against late-term abortion.
He also set out clear plans to lift nuclear energy bans, return state classrooms to the core basics, and challenge Labor directly in regional heartlands ahead of the March 2027 election.
