STATEMENT ON PARENTAL LEAVE ARRANGEMENTS
Last night my wife Helen and I welcomed our newest member of the family, a gorgeous daughter, Celeste Grace Perrottet.
Celeste and Helen are doing great, and Celeste’s six siblings are over the moon.
From today I am taking leave to spend time with Helen and the kids as we all adjust to welcoming a new child to our family.
Deputy Premier Paul Toole will assume the role of Acting Premier. Deputy Leader of the Parliamentary Liberal Party Stuart Ayres will assume the role of Acting Leader of the Parliamentary Liberal Party.
I will return from leave on Monday, 4 April.
I will be seeking a Pair from the Opposition for the parliamentary sitting period commencing 22 March and concluding 31 March.
Given the current flood emergency I will continue to receive briefings on the response and recovery work and remain ready to return to official duties immediately should the need arise.
