@DianaRyall @zdaniel Electorate offices of all parties know how important senior votes are in aged care and other retirement villas and gated comnmunities so they devote special care and attention to those residents.

Minns was first elected to office in 2004 as a Penshurst Ward councillor of the Hurstville City Council, and was elected for a term as deputy mayor in 2007–2008; he left council at the 2008 election after serving a single term. He also worked on the staff of Carl Scully and John Robertson.

Minns is a member of Labor's Right faction and was assistant secretary of the NSW Labor Party. He is opposed to legislation that would enable voluntary euthanasia. In his inaugural speech in the Legislative Assembly, Minns criticised the state government’s sale of NSW’s electricity assets and called for mandatory Mandarin Chinese lessons in New South Wales schools. Additionally, Minns called for a reduction in union influence in the Labor Party in favour of "increasing representation of ordinary members of our party who have more diverse voices", stating that while trade unions were integral to the success and heritage of the Labor Party, the party also needs to represent those who are not in a trade union, and that will mean taking steps to reduce union control on Labor's conference floor. Bob Nanva, national secretary of the Rail, Tram and Bus Union, while acknowledging that Minns had been "an extraordinarily effective Assistant General Secretary of the ALP", rebuked him for being "seriously mistaken" on his views about unions. Additionally, both Mark Buttigieg and NSW Labor Party secretary Jamie Clements disagreed with Minns' contention regarding unions. By 2019, Minns no longer held those views.
