‘Sectarian and discriminatory language’ has no place in NSW politics: MinnsNSW Opposition leader Chris Minns says there is no place for ClubsNSW CEO Josh Landis's 'sectarian and discriminatory language' in NSW politics. The SMH today published a comment from Mr Landis who blamed NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet’s conservative faith for wanting to reform gambling. “I frankly haven’t heard anything like this for decades,” Mr Minns said at a media conference on Tuesday morning. “There’s no place for that in NSW politics and we shouldn’t be introducing it.” This is business, not politics. At best ClubsNSW is a lobby group, not a political party. I didn't vote for them, or was given the opportunity at an election. Definitely not, the government ministers have that privilege.

Perrottet’s gambling reforms have ‘nothing to do with his faith’Employee Relations Minister Damien Tudehope says NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet’s gambling reform is being guided by the Crime Commission report, and it has “nothing to do with his faith”. ClubsNSW boss Josh Landis was sacked effective immediately after claiming the NSW Premier was acting on his “conservative Catholic gut”. “It is a really regrettable thing if we are, in fact, introducing a level of sectarianism into politics, to the extent we are identifying people’s policy views based on their faith views,” Mr Tudehope told Sky News host James Morrow. Given the two largest pokie venues in the south west are Catholic Clubs it could be argued he is going against his religion. There are too many of these machines in NSW and the only surprise is that a Liberal Party is proposing cracking down on them.
