NSW deputy Liberal leader says he should have anticipated political damage of Barilaro’s appointment, revealing one colleague has asked him to resign
“Given what Mr Barilaro has been through, he too would seriously question whether applying for this job was in his best interests.”“But he’s made a decision to not pursue the role, that’s his private decision,” he said.
The premier, Dominic Perrottet, is waiting until a department of premier and cabinet review into the former deputy premier’s appointment delivers its findings before taking action. On Tuesday, he also denied asking Investment NSW to add Barilaro’s name to a shortlist of candidates being considered by the selection panel.
