The NSW Liberal Party Room has today elected the Hon Dominic Perrottet MP as the Party leader, and the Hon Stuart Ayres MP as the Deputy.
On behalf of all Party Members, I would like to congratulate Dominic and Stuart, and wish them the very best for the challenges ahead, as our state begins its difficult journey out of the COVID pandemic.
Dominic will be building on the outstanding work of his Liberal predecessors, including the amazing work of the Hon Gladys Berejiklian protecting lives and livelihoods from the devastation of the global pandemic.
Dominic and Stuart are both exceptional Members of Parliament and longstanding Members of the Liberal Party. Like Gladys, Dominic was heavily involved in the Party since a young age, and had served as the Young Liberal President and on the NSW State Executive.
Dominic grew up in West Pennant Hills, with his 11 siblings, and worked to support himself through the University of Sydney; graduating with degrees in commerce and law, and going on to work as a commercial lawyer.
He is also the founder and co-ordinator of the Hills St Vincent De Paul Young Adults Program and the Castle Hill Leadership Programme. Dominic and his wife Helen are raising their six kids in Beecroft, juggling the demands of work and busy family life – from school drop-offs and pickups, to kids’ sport and dancing recitals.
The Perrottet Government has a testing road ahead to get NSW back on the path to recovery, and to make sure that our state remains the best place anywhere in the world to live, work, and raise a family. And the Perrottet team is ready for that task.
With Stuart Ayres as Dominic’s very capable deputy, the Perrottet Government will have a very strong voice representing our fastest growing region – Western Sydney – at the top of the NSW Government.
I would also like to again thank the Hon Gladys Berejiklian for her service and dedication to our Party, our community and the state of NSW, over her decades of service.
