Perrottet slams ClubsNSW boss after explosive faith claimsDominic Perrottet has found support from some of his fiercest political rivals as he blasted ClubsNSW boss Josh Landis who claimed the Premier's gambling reforms were informed by his 'catholic gut' rather than evidence. Even as a Labor supporter I say Josh Landis's position ClubsNSW is untenable. He must step down immediately.
