The government in the Australian province of New South Wales has selected a new Premier to reign, after the former Premier – Gladys Berejiklian – resigned surrounding controversy of under-the-table corruption.
Not long after she handed in her resignation, a new Premier was chosen.
The new New South Wales Premier is Dominic Perrottet.
Perrottet was already serving as Treasurer under Berejiklian’s administration, and was selected with 39-5 votes, beating out Planning Minister Rob Stokes – a contender that was forecast to be the replacement according to some Australian media.
Free Malaysia Today describes the premier as “a social conservative and economic reformer.” According to him, after being promoted to the new political role, he told Aussies of NSW that he will seek to safely reopen parts of Australia from prolonged lockdowns, and reformation of the economy.
Unexpected change can bring uncertainty and sometimes, for many, that can feel unsettling.
But we all have a duty as a State to keep on going. Today begins a new chapter for NSW and one that we will all write together.
Perrottet told the media
However, even mainstream Australian media notes some of the controversy surrounding his political past.
Last year, Mr Perrottet was widely criticised for his handling of the $38 billion state-run insurance scheme icare, which is supposed to look after millions of workers when they get sick or injured on the job.
It emerged the troubled agency, set up by Mr Perrottet in 2015, had lost more than $3 billion despite cutting benefits to thousands of injured workers.
A NSW parliamentary inquiry into the scandal-plagued organisation was last year told the wife of former icare chief executive John Nagle was paid $800,000 over three years after being awarded a contract without a tender.
ABC News reported
As for his religious beliefs, Australian podcast Hope 103.2 says that he is a devout Roman Catholic. He attended two Roman Catholic private universities. One of them, Redfield College, has chaplains whose priests are a part of Opus Dei – a very secretive sect amongst Roman Catholicism. Moreover, his family is reported to be apart of Opus Dei.
Perrottet is not quiet about his faith, either.
I think having a Christian faith is part of who I am and inspires me to make a difference wherever I go.
It’s a matter of deep theological conviction that the confessional seal is sacrosanct, for every priest in every penitent, no matter who, no matter what sins are confessed.
I am very proud of the fact that I have a strong Christian faith. Does that in any way take away my capacity to serve as premier? Well, I do not think so, and I think it is a sad thing that some people do.
The Australian podcast notes that in 2019 he voted against decriminalizing abortion.
‘He is also against forcing priests to tell police if a priest has confessed to sex abuse,’ the outlet said.
It is also noted that his father Jon works as the global tourism specialist for the World Bank in Washington, DC.
It is also noted that Perrottet supported American President Donald Trump’s election in 2016, and some of his policies and stances.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[1] And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: [2] With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. [5] And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. [15] And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. [18] And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.Revelation 17:1-2, 5, 15, 18
In my report about Berejiklian’s abrupt resignation, I commented with:
Again, I’m not there, but it sounds like since Berejiklian has garnered so much global attention for her insane edicts, that the abominable government is looking to replace her with another one of their corrupt buddies, and made-up some silly scapegoat.
Her replacement will keep the foot on the gas pedal for tyrannical and unrighteous rule.
Whelp, surprise-surprise, a papal bankster-gangster was inserted into the position, to not reform, but bury Australia even more, and usher in more tyranny. But this tyranny might be a little more covert and subtle.
I am not an expert on Australian politics, but it appears this guy seems to be what would be considered “right-wing.” So, if you are an Aussie, feel free to correct me in the comments. But if he is, it further adds to the deepening political divide to ignite the right, and more Roman Catholicism into more open power globally.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

How’s that old song go…….meet the new boss…….same [or worse] as the old boss”?
Opus Dei is brutal. Jesuits on steroids & into ritual abuse….wearing hair shirts, chains that cut & such. We are seeing such a return to Medieval darkness. Before Luther found the grace of God in Romans, he did such things as penance, trying to atone for his sin & to find peace.
How twisted does a person have to be to overlook sexual child abuse? And from a trusted authority figure people look to for ‘help’ and ‘guidance’ which only the Lord is capable of giving? Such a person is usually a victim, or close to an abuser themselves….groomed…..and there is no peace or rest & satisfaction for the unrepentant sodomite trying to prove his superiority & righteousness, & to atone for his sin short of repentance. What lengths of abuse & self-abuse they go to.
Another reason no Christian can allow their children into a public school. Many people in years past looked at the orderly, uniform-wearing, squeaky clean looking Catholic schools with their reputation for academic excellence & morality (on the surface & hypocritical….as the Jesuits were known in Enlightenment Europe), & sent their children there as an alternative to the failing public schools.
I was angered by the Catholic spin & white-washing in our ‘conservative Christian’ homeschool curriculum….but can you imagine the same with a defenseless, moldable child under the trained nuns & lay Catholics of a private Catholic school?
Reminds me of Steven Anderson in South Africa, too, lying and saying that the schools were ‘open’ to his people going into the schools & presenting the Gospel there. Yeah. The ‘new’ Gospel, and the ‘new’ Christ (that aren’t new), but just the same old humanist antichrist Catholic Unitarian MESS they’ve been promoting for years: right arm. Fascist & communist systems are both elitist & tyrannically run: corporatism.
How the Lord must hate this…..and how his wrath must be building. ‘Economic reform’, he’s known for….and graft & financial mishandling & misappropriation. A stage setter for the Great Reset, no doubt.
‘First we have to blow it up’….like Michael Specter, Fauci & Rick Bright were on about with a ‘novel avian virus out of China, perhaps’ at that Milken Institute meeting. Too bad if all the piece$ end up in THEIR pockets after the righteou$, ‘we had to do it’, ‘explo$ion’. How did THAT happen?…..Oh, must have been random ‘evolution’ ….or ‘karma’.
Disgusting. And, I hate that they speak of their ‘Christian faith’ and show pictures of their big, ‘happy’ families…. when they are so obviously of the Devil. It brings reproach on one hand, & misleads people on the other. Reminds you of the mob.
I’m thinking, too, that the influencing Nazis who fled & were received by knowing governments didn’t just go to South & Central America & the US. Their influence seems huge in New Zealand & Australia, as well.
‘Taking the world for Christ’ has a whole different ….and sinister….meaning for them, but then, that’s the old Jesuit aim & goal, isn’t it? By hook or by crook. Banking and politics and thuggery. And behind them & working through them that old perverse fallen cherub, merchandiser, liar, thief and murderer. Usurper. Isaiah 14, Ezekiel 28, John 10. Too many neglected & never publicly cited passages to count.
And what have the compromisers accomplished with their buying into the false peace dream of the world & its schemers? But to bring chastening servitude & judgment upon themselves, as well as those foolish enough to suffer them, and those few….like John the Baptist or Jeremiah, the young Daniel & other Hebrew children…who were faithful, & had little to do with the direct sins bringing all these things to pass….yet who suffer with the rest.
Jonathan also comes to mind. So much unnecessary suffering….and vainglory. Vanity! Vanity! All is vanity. But God was with Daniel & the three Hebrew children through it all. And with the scattered saints. And there is a peace, and a sanity, which the frenzied, self-righteous & desperate, unrepentant haters of truth can never know. And a rest, even though there is yet a final, absolute rest to come for the people of God, when that corruptible will be transformed, & the incorruptible come.
2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Hebrews. 1 Corinthians 15 and 2 Corinthians 5 KJB. 2Co 5:1 ¶ For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
2Co 5:2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
2Co 5:3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
2Co 5:4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
2Co 5:5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
2Co 5:6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
2Co 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
2Co 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
2Co 5:9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
2Co 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
2Co 5:11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
It’s like we’re holding our breath. Waiting for the dam to burst. Knowing it’s inevitable. The bowing wall can’t hold much longer. The tottering fence is no defense.
