Gladys Berejiklian's replacement as NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet is a proud social conservative who questions climate change and loves Donald Trump.
The 39-year-old devout Catholic father-of-six is on Tuesday morning making history as the state's youngest ever leader.
While his predecessor came from the Liberal Party's moderate faction and was unmarried with no children, Perrottet is the complete opposite and hails from the right of the party.
Perrottet has overwhelmingly won the Liberal party room vote 39 to five, defeating Rob Stokes to become the next premier thanks to the support of the socially-progressive moderate faction.
This is despite him voting in 2019 against a bill to decriminalise abortion declaring he could not support laws that stopped 'the beating heart of an unborn child'.
