New South Wales treasurer Dominic Perrottet is billed to become the next Premier for New South Wales in today’s vote.
Perrottet hails from the state’s conservative liberal faction, and is expected to push for the reinstatement of the jobkeeper program for New South Wales.
Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Rob Stokes will contest Perrottet’s bid for the state’s top job, although he is not expected to win.
This comes after Premier Gladys Berejiklian resigned on Friday, and deputy premier John Barilaro announced his resignation yesterday.
Transport minister Andrew Constance also announced he will move on from state politics to set his sights on a federal seat.
