Perrottet rejects ‘offensive’ claim his faith is behind pokies policy
Clubs New South Wales chief executive Josh Landis has accused the premier Dominic Perrottet of acting on his “Catholic gut” in pursuing the cashless poker machine proposal.
Landis told the Sydney Morning Herald:
I think it’s fair to say that the premier has very little understanding of this issue and has acted from his conservative Catholic gut rather than based on evidence.
Perrottet hit back at Landis’ comments speaking to 2GB radio station earlier this morning, telling Ben Fordham they were “inappropriate and offensive.”
Well, the first point I’d make is, that’s untrue. The decision that I’ve made and the views I have in relation to gaming in New South Wales is not informed by the fact that I’m Catholic. It’s because I believe this is the right thing to do.
Now, I think it’s completely wrong for the CEO of clubs in New South Wales, to say that this is a matter of part of my Catholic faith. And I would say that that’s offensive, not to me, but to people of faith across New South Wales. And if you replace the word Catholic with Islamic, Jewish or Hindu, you would, you’d be resigning before you got to work this morning by the time your program finished.
It’s not about faith, and people shouldn’t attack people’s faith in relation to decision-making. That’s not a matter for me. It’s an attack on people of faith across New South Wales and I believe in a tolerant society and people of faith respect people who don’t have faith and people who don’t have faith respect the views of those who do … It’s not about me. It’s about attacks on people of faith right across New South Wales.

This is a day, frankly which we didn’t wish we had to have, but we do. From tomorrow, right across Australia, access to family and domestic violence leave becomes a reality. It will be such an important day and an overdue one.

No woman should ever have to choose between her job and her safety. No woman should ever have to pick between her financial security and the physical and emotional wellbeing of herself or of her children.
n
It is truly remarkable that these have been very real choices, choices that a shocking number of Australian women have had to face. It is 2023, we’re nearly a quarter of a way through this century, we ought to have been so much better than that.
n
As of tomorrow we will have become that crucial little bit better. Tomorrow, and everything that it represents is the culmination of an extraordinary and sustained effort by so many people. I would say tireless effort but we all know that is not true, all of us are human but so many people of conviction, determination and patience have pushed through exhaustion to make sure that today has become a reality.

Those of us who came here for a community meeting ended up listening to 20 to 30 minutes of a local business owner essentially stir up a very emotive narrative centred around the protection of private property.
