2023 New South Wales state election
Although the Coalition lost, Labor did not win a majority government, falling two seats short. Three independents (Alex Greenwich, Joe McGirr and Greg Piper) agreed to give confidence and supply to the Labor Party, allowing them to form government, just like before when they gave confidence and supply to the Coalition when it went into a minority government in 2022. Piper made a deal to become Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, a role he prepared for by being Deputy Speaker.
