NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet criticises leaked text messages embarrassing the Liberal Party as 'smear, gossip and innuendo', as senior government figures deny involvement.
NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet has criticised leaked text messages embarrassing the Liberal Party as "smear, gossip and innuendo", as senior government figures deny involvement.
When the alleged exchange was put to Mr Morrison yesterday, he said: "I obviously don't agree with it. And I don't think that's my record." It was unclear if the cabinet minister alleged to have been involved in the exchange was a federal or state MP.NSW Treasurer Matt Kean, who has previously been critical of Mr Morrison, told Nine Radio this morning he had "no reason to believe" he had sent the texts.Mr Kean said while he sometimes had different views to his federal colleagues, the suggestion he was involved was "insulting".
