With 51 days until election day, the unknown Liberal Candidate for Wollongong has to satisfy three simple tests.

Illawarra Labor MPs have gone 'back to school' today highlighting a range of initiatives for all local schools in the region, including just over $61 million in additional funding if a Shorten Labor Government is elected this year. 

With 58 days left until polling day, the Berejiklian Government continues to promise the installation of lifts for train stations everywhere except for Unanderra Station. 

NSW Labor has announced that a Daley Labor Government will introduce a $40 million Regional Conservatorium of Music fund to support music and students based outside of Sydney. 

In a clear sign that the much-needed lifts at Unanderra Station are further away than ever, the Premier has insisted that commutes should instead use "neighbouring stations [that] do have easy access" while announcing that Moss Vale Station will get new lifts. 

The Berejiklian Government has now just 72 days in which to finally get rid of the 72 step struggle by matching Labor's pledge to upgrade Unanderra Station and building its much-needed lifts.

A plan to address traffic congestion between Thirroul and Unanderra is at least two years away from being finished, let alone being implemented, according to latest advise from the Minister for Roads, Maritime and Freight.

Today marks 100 days until the NSW election on March 23 next year.

More evidence of the pressure on Wollongong Hospital was revealed today with an increase in the elective surgery waiting list, despite more surgeries being conducted. 

Member for Wollongong, Paul Scully MP, has described the Berejiklian Government's decision not to reverse Wollongong local government area's exclusion from both regional and metropolitan sports facility upgrade funds as the ultimate betrayal of sport in Wollongong.
