Don't even ask: a social ultra-conservative. Though at State level that probably doesn't mean all that much other than to tie him closer to his National Party deputy.

Also this back in early July:-
Infighting in the NSW crisis cabinet has been revealed with NSW Treasurer Dominic Perrottet fervently opposing the lockdown extension agreed to at the group's Tuesday meeting. Mr Perrottet split with the consensus view arguing it was time to change the thinking on COVID-19 and to learn to live with infections in the community. |

When he was the member in the Hawkesbury, he was known as 'Pair of t1ts' - juvenile I know but it still makes me snigger. Quite apt, too, as he was as useless out here as t1ts on a bull.

NSW Treasurer Dominic Perrottet says he cannot explain why state insurer icare paid a labour hire firm $235 million, including to lease and fit-out premium Sydney Harbour office space at its Kent St premises. Mr Perrottet told budget estimates on Monday he did not know why icare paid Comensura Pty Ltd up to $134 million including leasing costs, plus a further $101 million in separate labour hire services. Sounds like some people I know |

Refused to live in his electorate and the only time he went there was to close down the greyhound industry which is the lifeblood of many in the Hawkesbury |

Take a drive down the Hume Highway, cross over the Murray River and proceed down to Melbourne. City has broken world record for number of days in lockdown, half of small businesses are barely surviving, the other half have shut down and the state has most dictatorial premier in Australia. I know of several people who have said if their families did not live in Victoria they would move interstate, preferably Queensland, then NSW, their second choice.

We have 3 neighbours who have moved here to the Goldie from Vic. All within the last 12 months, sold up, and bolted, one family bought their townhouse sight unseen.......they were that desperate, two have their own business's, just closed down and are restarted from scratch up here, kids all settled in terrific, pets happy, people more so.....I hope NSW settles down, Labour I feel are a shoe-in although Minns is a cunning bugger, he's saying nothing, just watching the meltdown......Dom might make a difference, a much better choice than the very ordinary Keane.

You can add me to that list, Bob. I'd be selling up and moving to Qld or northern NSW ASAP if not for having to care for my mum in Vic. It's not even about the lockdowns any more - I don't want to live under a dictatorship and I'm disgusted at how easily indoctrinated many Victorians continue to be. |

But Shawy38 intimated NSW was stuffed, and a comparison to Victoria's economy is relevant. The political changes in NSW will have a long term affect on their economy and hopefully NSW will continue to be better served by their political leadership than Victoria.

My wife suggested the same the other day, but as all our families live in Victoria and if we were to pack up and move interstate it would be heart wrenching, so until Dan is given the flick we are locked into , excuse the pun, spending the rest of our lives under his dictatorial governorship. If only the Liberals could get their act together .

Meanwhile the Treasurer, fresh from his unmitigated icare workers’ compensation scheme disaster,
is borrowing at least $10 billion with which to play the financial
markets in a game with “disaster in the making” written all over it,
never mind copious conflicts of interest. ... In such circumstances, one might think the person often suggested as a potential challenger for Ms Berejiklian’s job, Treasurer Dominic Perrottet, would be treading carefully, waiting for the tide to turn his way and people to forget about icare. But no. Instead, he’s taking NSW off to the casino, thinking he can make a killing with the help of a bunch of former dealers at said casino, borrowing at least $10 billion and perhaps as much as $15 billion to play. The Australian Financial Review’s John Kehoe started this week with a fine scoop on what Mr Perrottet was up to, “an under-the-radar budget strategy that public finance and credit analysts warn will put taxpayer money at risk”. “Market participants believe the innovative financial structuring under state Treasurer Dominic Perrottet is unprecedented in Australia, and rare among governments in the world, because it involves the use of debt to effectively underwrite inflows into the NSW Generations Fund,” Mr Kehoe reported. The AFR’s acerbic Rear Window columnist Joe Aston added spice to the story on Wednesday, running through the CVs of the key refugees from the private sector involved in the Perrottet play, suggesting the NSW Treasury Corporation (TCorp) is running rings around the Treasurer. “TCorp’s fantasy outcome is to build itself a massive, debt-funded pile of financial assets it can charge the government fat fees for managing,” opined Aston. “Clearly, TCorp’s fantasy is being indulged to the fullest extent.” Treasury claims it isn’t borrowing the extra $15 billion to gear up its spin of the wheel on everything from humble local shares to hedge funds and emerging markets’ debt. The claim is laughable. By hoovering up money from every other nook and cranny, the fund-of-funds has already forced the government to borrow an extra $10 billion to make up for what has gone into casino chips. |

Three things in particular strike me about Mr Perrottet’s cunning plan. The first is the lack of corporate memory about governments thinking they can beat the markets. Maybe he’s never heard of the $2.1 billion Peter Costello lost as federal Treasurer playing the foreign exchange casino earlier this century. Closer to his home, there was the disastrous NSW government HomeFund. It wasn’t so much a disaster for the government as for the 57,000 low-income borrowers locked into long-term fixed-rate loans of between 12 and 15.8 per cent when rates were about to start their long decline. Some 2700 people lost their homes and were still paying interest when the NSW government finally wrote off the balance. Secondly, if a government was feeling lucky and wanted a punt, the trend isn’t to flash around the cash on all the fees of funds managers who claim they can beat the market – and mostly can’t. Index funds are at least cheap. But thirdly and most importantly, the strategy opens the way for massive conflicts of interest, starting but not finishing with the TCorp board that is stuffed with people from entities that will compete with TCorp and try to sell it stuff. More directly, the fees for investment banks and others are always a rich field when close to government. It’s not just supping with property developers that requires a long spoon. And then there is the latent conflict – once the public sector acquires an asset, what decisions might it take to favour that asset? Just the lack of transparency in how this game has come to light does not build confidence in it. Ah yes, that confidence thing again. https://thenewdaily.com.au/news/state/nsw/2021/08/13/michael-pascoe-covid-casinos-nsw/ |

Australia is Farked ... Over reaction to Covid has seen us go broke.
Move to Queensland at your Peril ... Most regret and many return if they can buy back . But that choice is usually not available ., The hot Box and Humidity beat many, but Labor Governments have Qld as a NO go area . |

According to the Mayor of Hume, the LGA in Melbourne with the highest rate of positive COVID cases, that rate reflects the demographic of that LGA. “ They are financially disadvantaged and the vast majority work in essential industries “. As far as I am aware the COVID injection is free, so financially disadvantaged does not hold up.The Mayor made no mention of the ethnicity of the people living in Hume.
Hume could be considered an LGA of super spreaders and if the Mayor of Hume can be taken for his word, I very much doubt any of those super spreaders would have the resources and the want to relocate interstate and move outside of their own ethnic communities. No, NSW is safe from that cohort of super spreaders
