Dominic Perrottet is unapologetic in his views, but opponents will target his controversial past comments on abortion, same-sex marriage and welfare.
The 39-year-old father of six makes no apologies for his beliefs, which extend to warning supporters of abortion they are on the “wrong side of history”, opposing same-sex marriage and attacking the “pronoun police” who encourage the use of gender neutral language.
Mr Perrottet also opposed the decriminalisation of abortion in NSW on the grounds that he could not support laws that stopped “the beating heart of an unborn child”.

Last year, Mr Perrottet revealed he would quash an attempt by Treasury bureaucrats to lecture staff about the use of gender pronouns. “And not assuming when you’re talking to a colleague that they are heterosexual/cis-gendered/endosex, so use ‘partner’ rather than ‘wife’ or ‘husband’ and use an introduction like ‘welcome folks’ rather than ‘hi guys’,’’ she said.Mr Perrottet opposed laws to force Catholic priests to tell police if a priest confessed to sex abuse in the confessional.“Now I understand the motivation and the rationale for this legislation, as I’m sure everyone here does.
“As one commentator has asked, why have children at all when the state will take care of you in your old age?”
