So we are all wondering...who will be the new NSW Premier....

So we are all wondering...who will be the new NSW Premier. Gladys had resigned after the announcement by ICAC they will be investigating whether she breached public trust when she awarded grants to several community organisations in the NSW Riverina region between 2012 and 2018 etc etc etc - the timing was bad! Gladys said she would step down as soon as a by-election could be held...and who knows when that will be!

NSW Treasurer - Dominic Perrottet is the frontrunner to replace Gladys Berejiklian as premier. Remember when Gladys Berejiklian ran unopposed for premier in 2017? (inside source) the conservative faction, backed by federal power brokers etc, of the state party had a precondition that they would support Gladys for the top job, so long as Perrottet would be her deputy. Mr Perrottet has served as Treasurer since 2017. He has a senior position for a young man and is just 39 years old. History will most likely repeat - Treasurer to Premier.

Minister for Jobs and Tourism - Stuart Ayres is also thinking and wondering or angling for the top spot. He has had many hat or roles: Minister for Sport; Minister for WestConnex; and Minister for Western Sydney; Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney. Could be seen or viewed as "Jack of all trades, master of none" type of guy - a person who has dabbled in many jobs or roles, rather than gaining expertise by focusing on one...

The other hot favourite is the Planning Minister Rob Stokes. He is a former lawyer and has a PhD in planning law. He has previously served as the Education Minister.

The most 'media attention' or known minister is Perrottet...the others I'd say most Aussies in NSW would not know who they are - eg. others who are thinking to be on the top job Matt Kean.

What are your thoughts? Who do you think will 'have the numbers'? What will be the future for NSW under new leadership and for elections?
