Perrottet and his wife spoke to Nine's Peter Overton about their high-flying careers, bubbly children and a private pain the family has been coping with.
"Take this weekend - my son's on his first father and son camp - so I drove him there last night. All the dads are there with their kids. And I had to drop him off, set him up and leave," he said.Even though Perrottet holds state politics' most sought-after job, Helen said her husband always tries to make time for the children."It depends on what's going on. If things are blowing up at work it's a little bit harder.
"I've just lost a member of my family ... I couldn't understand why they were treating it as sick leave."
