Mr Barilaro resigned from state parliament in October last year, days after the shock resignation of then premier Gladys Berejiklian that resulted in Mr Perrottet's promotion to the top job."Are we really expected to believe that of 8 million people in NSW, Barilaro is the best person to represent us?" Mr Minns wrote on Twitter on Friday.
"It says everything about Dominic Perrottet and this government that he gives his friend a taxpayer-funded job while at the same time giving workers across the state a real wage cut," he said.
