Ray Hadley launches bizarre attack on Premier Dominic Perrottet

2GB host Ray Hadley has made bizarre and unproven claims about the NSW Premier, saying people in government leaked the details from a Christmas party.

NSW restrictions extended for another month

2GB broadcaster Ray Hadley has launched a bizarre tirade against the NSW Premier in which he aired unproven, anonymous allegations about a Christmas party.

Hadley said the claims were leaked to him from within the government. But senior government sources said they are completely wide of the mark.

The shock jock told listeners on Tuesday morning that the Premier made comments at a Christmas party about not “caving in” to NSW Health on reimposing restrictions and that he had been drinking.

It came after Mr Perrottet was forced to downplay allegations Treasurer Matt Kean was leaking from cabinet’s Covid subcommittee.

One Nation Leader Mark Latham last week claimed Mr Kean was leaking to Hadley against the Premier. Mr Kean has denied the allegation.

Hadley on Tuesday said multiple people in government were briefing him on internal discussions, declaring he has never revealed his sources to the One Nation leader.

Asked by 2GB’s Ben Fordham if there is a leak in the Covid cabinet, Mr Perrottet said: “I don’t know”.

“I don’t believe that to be true,” the Premier said when pressed on Mr Latham’s claim.

Hadley also dismissed Mr Latham’s allegation.

“There’s only two people that would know the truth of this matter, I’m one of them and Mark Latham is not the other,” Hadley told Fordham.
