What happened
Treasurer Daniel Mookhey stated he would seek to require One Nation NSW to submit its platform to the Parliamentary Budget Office. This would allow the office to create a budget impact statement for all three parties before voters head to the polls. Greens MP Abigail Boyd criticized the government's action, arguing it gave One Nation undue credibility.
Why it matters
The government argues that requiring independent costing prevents the state from living in budget fantasy lands, especially given current economic uncertainty. This move would strengthen the Parliamentary Budget Office's mandate and increase institutional oversight capacity.
