Despite talk of a potential leadership spill in the wake of the premier's Nazi uniform revelation, some commentators say replacing him 11 weeks from an election could only make matters worse for the Liberal party.
The party was held at his parent's house in 2003 and was 'uniform' themed. Two years later, Mr Perrottet became president of the NSW Young Liberals.
Labor has largely kept quiet in the wake of the scandal, but deputy leader Prue Carr today said it was up to the public to decide whether the premier can be forgiven. Despite the question mark hanging over Mr Perrottet's leadership, some say it would be too politically risky to replace him. "I can't see really at this late stage how it would greatly benefit the party, even though it is behind in the two-party preferred ."
"Either that [incident] has not been revealed in the vetting process or he did admit it and it was still kept quiet by the party," Dr Rolfe said. During campaigning, NSW Treasurer Matt Kean called for her to be disendorsed, saying she was "not fit for office".
