Election campaign enters final week
As the NSW election campaign enters its final week, both leaders are making education the focus on Monday.
Premier Mike Baird starts his day on Sydney's northern beaches at Balgowlah Heights Public School before making the keynote speech at the National Youth Leaders Day for Primary Schools at Darling Harbour.
Labor leader Luke Foley is heading to Loftus TAFE in Sydney's south for an education announcement.
It comes as the NSW coalition government looks set to score a clear victory on Saturday, winning many marginal seats it expected to lose, opinion polls show.
A Galaxy poll conducted for The Daily Telegraph last week puts the coalition ahead of Labor in the marginal seats of Campbelltown, Coogee and The Entrance.
News Corp also says the latest Ipsos poll echoes The Sunday Telegraph's Galaxy poll, which showed the coalition leading Labor 54-46 per cent on a two-party preferred basis.
Meanwhile NSW voters will get a first look at the numbers behind Labor's election promises when the Parliamentary Budget Office hands down its costings report on Monday.
The coalition has repeatedly warned that electors cannot trust the opposition's cornerstone spending promises - including $323 million for a major redevelopment of Sydney's Concord Hospital, and rail links to the Badgerys Creek airport site - because there has not been enough transparency about where the money would come from.
Mr Baird will then head west, joining Minister for Aboriginal Affairs Victor Dominello to announce plans to encourage better learning outcomes and career development pathways for Aboriginal students.
