Dominic Perrottet admits the NSW Liberal party needs to "do better" bringing women into its ranks after falling short of its own gender targets ahead of the state election.
"We need to do better and that's something that I have made very clear to the organisation," the premier told reporters on Thursday from the key electorate of Parramatta.
Sixteen days out from the state election, the party finalised its candidates, falling short of its own target of 40 per cent female representation.
