Baird heads to Foley's turf

NSW ELECTION CAMPAIGN - THURSDAY MARCH 26

WHERE THEY WENT:

Baird: Auburn, Flemington.

Foley: Campbelltown, Goulburn and Queanbeyan

WHAT THEY SAID

"We are in control. It is a lease ... we take the rent upfront, we do it on our terms." - Baird when peppered by questions about his power privatisation plan.

"The conventional wisdom you all had was Mr Baird just had to turn up to win re-election. If they lose it from there, they will never ever take a policy to an election again to sell our electricity network." - Foley talks about the future of electricity privatisation in Queanbeyan.

POLICIES

Baird
