Contents

Early life and background

Perottet was born and raised in West Pennant Hills, Sydney.[2] He was active in student politics whilst studying at Sydney University and campaigned for voluntary student unionism.[3] He gained first class honours in law and went on to work as a commercial lawyer for Henry Davis York.[2]

Political career

Perrottet won preselection in November 2010 with the backing of right wing powerbroker David Clarke and has been described as "Clarke's protege."[citation needed] Perottet's association with Clarke assisted his preselection. Clarke battled against Alex Hawke, Federal Member for Mitchell, to gain control of preselections.[4][5][6]

Perrottet was elected to the very safe Liberal seat with a swing of 12.2 per cent and won the seat with 80.8 per cent of the vote on a two party preferred basis.[7] His main opponent was Ryan Tracey, representing Labor.
