Dominic Perrottet has found support from some of his fiercest political rivals as he blasted ClubsNSW boss Josh Landis who claimed the Premier's gambling reforms were informed by his 'catholic gut' rather than evidence.
Opposition Leader Chris Minns and other NSW parliamentarians also rushed to support Mr Perrottet’s faith as calls grow for Mr Landis to retract the comments.
Clubs NSW CEO Josh Landis has been slammed for his comments about Premier Dominic Perrottet's faith.
