Could Labor lose the west?
Voters in the Penrith region are likely to make history on March 26. But while politicians battle it out for a prized seat in state parliament it's the voting public who will win or lose in the long term.

Public transport, health services and, more parochially, Victoria Bridge, are in need of repair or upgrading and the list goes on.

Penrith could turn the likely election result to its advantage, if the region is represented by Liberal MPs with voices in a new government.

If they want to be long-term politicians, rather than one-term wonders, they need to deliver for this region — and deliver fast.

There is a feeling that the current state government has been in power too long and has grown arrogant and out of touch.
