New South Wales premier, Dominic Perrottet, has denied removing a senior minister from the state’s gambling portfolio due to pressure from the powerful clubs lobby, saying he was “never under pressure” over the decision.
Less than two weeks out from the NSW state election, on Monday Perrottet was forced to deny claims he removed senior Liberal minister Victor Dominello from his position as NSW gaming minister during his first reshuffle as premier in December 2021 due to pressure from the clubs lobby, which was allegedly unhappy at his push for gambling reform.
