CANBERRA(Dr.Majid Khan\/ AAP ):Prime<\/span> Minister<\/span> Dominic<\/span> Perrotet<\/span> traded<\/span> politics<\/span> for<\/span> biscuits<\/span> and<\/span> handed<\/span> out<\/span> a<\/span> 100-day<\/span> plan<\/span> packed<\/span> with<\/span> sugar<\/span> hits<\/span> if<\/span> he<\/span> remained<\/span> in<\/span> power<\/span> in<\/span> the<\/span> New<\/span> South<\/span> Wales<\/span> general<\/span> election.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>The<\/span> prime<\/span> minister<\/span> served<\/span> cheesecake<\/span> at<\/span> Five<\/span> Docks<\/span> two<\/span> days<\/span> after<\/span> Saturday’s<\/span> election<\/span> and<\/span> in<\/span> Eastwood<\/span> while<\/span> a<\/span> man<\/span> who<\/span> wanted<\/span> to<\/span> replace<\/span> him<\/span> smashed<\/span> his<\/span> way<\/span> through<\/span> a<\/span> key<\/span> seat<\/span> in<\/span> Southern<\/span> New<\/span> South<\/span> Wales<\/span> on<\/span> Thursday.<\/span> restrained<\/span> the<\/span> children.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>“We<\/span> fight<\/span> for<\/span> every<\/span> vote<\/span> every<\/span> day,”<\/span> Perrotet<\/span> said,<\/span> along<\/span> with<\/span> Drumoine<\/span> candidate<\/span> Stephanie<\/span> Di<\/span> Pasqua.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Outside<\/span> the<\/span> fresh<\/span> food<\/span> market,<\/span> Sisi<\/span> Wu<\/span> rushed<\/span> to<\/span> tell<\/span> the<\/span> prime<\/span> minister<\/span> that<\/span> she<\/span> had<\/span> already<\/span> taken<\/span> a<\/span> pre-vote<\/span> and<\/span> voted<\/span> for<\/span> her<\/span> Ryde<\/span> candidate,<\/span> Jordan<\/span> Layne.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Perrotet,<\/span> accompanied<\/span> by<\/span> Ms.<\/span> Helen,<\/span> questioned<\/span> him<\/span> again<\/span> about<\/span> his<\/span> decision<\/span> to<\/span> call<\/span> Health<\/span> Secretary<\/span> Brad<\/span> Hazard<\/span> instead<\/span> of<\/span> an<\/span> ambulance<\/span> last<\/span> month<\/span> when<\/span> she<\/span> felt<\/span> sick<\/span> after<\/span> visiting<\/span> the<\/span> gym.<\/span> faced<\/span> with<\/span> “At<\/span> the<\/span> moment,<\/span> all<\/span> my<\/span> focus<\/span> is<\/span> on<\/span> my<\/span> wife…just<\/span> like<\/span> any<\/span> other<\/span> husband<\/span> in<\/span> this<\/span> situation,”<\/span> the<\/span> prime<\/span> minister<\/span> said.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Perrottet<\/span> said<\/span> her<\/span> husband<\/span> is<\/span> a<\/span> kind<\/span> and<\/span> energetic<\/span> man<\/span> and<\/span> she<\/span> is<\/span> proud<\/span> of<\/span> him.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>“He’s<\/span> at<\/span> home<\/span> just<\/span> like<\/span> he’s<\/span> on<\/span> camera,”<\/span> she<\/span> told<\/span> reporters.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Perrotett<\/span> outlined<\/span> how<\/span> the<\/span> re-elected<\/span> coalition<\/span> would<\/span> implement<\/span> her<\/span> 20%<\/span> cut<\/span> in<\/span> children’s<\/span> pension<\/span> funds,<\/span> a<\/span> $250<\/span> household<\/span> energy<\/span> rebate<\/span> and<\/span> public<\/span> transportation<\/span> caps<\/span> within<\/span> 100<\/span> days<\/span> of<\/span> the<\/span> election.<\/span> I<\/span> announced<\/span> the<\/span> joy<\/span> of<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Cuts<\/span> to<\/span> public<\/span> transit<\/span> require<\/span> direction<\/span> from<\/span> the<\/span> Secretary<\/span> of<\/span> Transportation,<\/span> but<\/span> the<\/span> prime<\/span> minister<\/span> has<\/span> refused<\/span> to<\/span> reveal<\/span> who<\/span> will<\/span> succeed<\/span> retiring<\/span> David<\/span> Elliott.<\/span> “It’s<\/span> going<\/span> to<\/span> be<\/span> a<\/span> very<\/span> high-profile<\/span> person,”<\/span> Perrotet<\/span> said.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Creating<\/span> a<\/span> to-do<\/span> list<\/span> for<\/span> “his<\/span> first<\/span> 100<\/span> days”<\/span> seemed<\/span> a<\/span> little<\/span> strange<\/span> in<\/span> the<\/span> eyes<\/span> of<\/span> his<\/span> Labor<\/span> leader,<\/span> Chris<\/span> Minns.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>“Strange,”<\/span> he<\/span> said<\/span> Thursday.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>“Many<\/span> voters<\/span> will<\/span> think<\/span> it<\/span> will<\/span> take<\/span> him<\/span> 12<\/span> years<\/span> to<\/span> resolve<\/span> these<\/span> issues.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>“When<\/span> it<\/span> comes<\/span> to<\/span> schools<\/span> and<\/span> hospitals,<\/span> you’re<\/span> a<\/span> total<\/span> failure.”<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>As<\/span> the<\/span> Prime<\/span> Minister’s<\/span> Office<\/span> later<\/span> discovered,<\/span> even<\/span> the<\/span> best<\/span> plans<\/span> can<\/span> fail.<\/span> Days<\/span> after<\/span> Perrottet<\/span> angered<\/span> workers<\/span> for<\/span> having<\/span> to<\/span> replace<\/span> an<\/span> electric<\/span> election<\/span> bus,<\/span> the<\/span> Liberal<\/span> diesel-powered<\/span> shuttle<\/span> broke<\/span> down,<\/span> leaving<\/span> reporters<\/span> and<\/span> staff<\/span> awaiting<\/span> replacement.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Mings<\/span> promised<\/span> New<\/span> South<\/span> Walesers<\/span> a<\/span> smooth<\/span> ride<\/span> during<\/span> the<\/span> whistle-stop<\/span> tour<\/span> of<\/span> Monaro’s<\/span> Pioneer’s<\/span> seat<\/span> and<\/span> Goulburn’s<\/span> marginal<\/span> liberal’s<\/span> seat.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Workers<\/span> will<\/span> contribute<\/span> his<\/span> $650<\/span> million<\/span> to<\/span> urgent<\/span> road<\/span> improvements<\/span> in<\/span> the<\/span> area,<\/span> including<\/span> his<\/span> $13.8<\/span> million<\/span> at<\/span> Goulburn,<\/span> he<\/span> said.<\/span>

\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>The<\/span> fate<\/span> of<\/span> Australia’s<\/span> largest<\/span> power<\/span> plant<\/span> has<\/span> resurfaced<\/span> as<\/span> Mr<\/span> Perrotet<\/span> did<\/span> not<\/span> rule<\/span> out<\/span> extending<\/span> the<\/span> life<\/span> of<\/span> Ellering<\/span> to<\/span> 2028.<\/span> After<\/span> selling<\/span> the<\/span> coal-fired<\/span> power<\/span> plant<\/span> for<\/span> $50<\/span> million<\/span> in<\/span> 2013,<\/span> the<\/span> coalition<\/span> subsequently<\/span> paid<\/span> Origin<\/span> $239<\/span> million<\/span> for<\/span> a<\/span> three-year<\/span> life<\/span> extension.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>“I’m<\/span> open<\/span> to<\/span> all<\/span> options,”<\/span> the<\/span> prime<\/span> minister<\/span> told<\/span> 2GB<\/span> week<\/span> after<\/span> saying<\/span> the<\/span> intervention<\/span> was<\/span> “not<\/span> part<\/span> of<\/span> our<\/span> plans.”<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Labor<\/span> is<\/span> also<\/span> wary<\/span> of<\/span> undermining<\/span> the<\/span> state’s<\/span> bargaining<\/span> position,<\/span> but<\/span> is<\/span> considering<\/span> everything,<\/span> including<\/span> channel<\/span> buybacks.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>“But…why<\/span> did<\/span> it<\/span> sell<\/span> out<\/span> in<\/span> the<\/span> first<\/span> place?”<\/span> Mins<\/span> said.<\/span>
