Whatever he does in the future, I will always have great respect for Dominic Perrottet due to his stance on three issues.
The NSW parliament is not regarded as the home of particularly great oratory, or a cradle of bold ideas and brave debate. But earlier this week, former premier Dominic Perrottet delivered a speech you deserve to know about.
Perrottet and his family will move to Washington DC later this month after he accepted an executive role with mining giant BHP. However, another former premier – Mike Baird – told a crowd on Tuesday that he hoped the BHP gig was only a “secondment” and predicted Perrottet would eventually find himself in Canberra. “Dom Perrottet will be coming back, and to federal politics – there’s no doubt about it,” Baird said. “Prime minister Perrottet has a very good ring to it.
“Vaccines saved lives but, ultimately, mandates were wrong. People’s personal choices should not have cost them their jobs. When I became premier, we removed them — or the ones we could — but this should have happened faster. If a pandemic comes again, we need to get a better balance, encouraging people to take action whilst at the same time protecting people’s fundamental liberty.”
