And I think that’s the important thing that people will see and recognise. The person that I know is someone who has absolutely committed to working hard for the people of New South Wales every single day. I’m not focusing on the party, I’m not focused on ourselves. What I’ve seen in DomPerrottet is that he is a compassionate, kind person who works his guts out every day for the people of New South Wales. With so much going on out there, it’s easy to miss stuff, so if you spot something happening in Australia and think it should be on the blog, you can find me on Twitter at @RoyceRk2 where my DMs are open. And I think that that commitment and his demonstration and commitment to the community over time, as demonstrated by his actions, shows how he is deeply sorry for this, and he’s committed to multiculturalism in New South Wales. This makes it essential to release the detail, in the form of a draft bill and regulations. I didn’t see it that way and and I made a terrible mistake, but I’m not, you know – I’ve answered, I’m just not going to keep going. The presser wraps up now with a final word from Perrottet talking about the $1bn his government is setting aside for new road projects in western Sydney.

People have asked me a number of questions about who was there.
