What can we expect in the New Premier? More globalist lockdowns in line with Vatican Climate Change initiatives….
Perrottet was born in 1982, and raised in West Pennant Hills, Sydney. He is the third eldest of 12 children. His father, John Perrottet, works for the World Bank as the Global Lead for Tourism at the International Finance Corporation, in Washington, DC. Perrotet’s family were members of the Catholic prelature, Opus Dei.
Opus Dei
A lot of emphasis is placed upon Perrottet’s religious views. It was something he was forced to defend during his press conference, saying that he is a “proud Christian” and claiming that religion shouldn’t be a barrier to political leadership, something of a co-opting of equality discourse often used in support of people very much unlike Perrottet.
He is frequently linked to the religious order Opus Dei. His mentor Clarke is one of just a handful of order members in Australia and Redfield College was run by an Opus Dei chaplain.
The order has just a few hundred members in Australia, although not a lot is known about their precise figures. The group came to the country in 1963 and was founded by Spanish Priest Josemaria Escrivita. Pope John Paul II thought groups such as Opus Dei could be useful in re-secularising the West.
They were depicted pretty poorly in Dan Brown’s blockbuster The Da Vinci Code. The villainous albino monk Silas is an Opus Dei member and memorably wore a metal chain around his leg with sharp spikes facing inwards to ‘mortify’ himself and remind him of the pain suffered by Christ.
Opus Dei is highly secretive and apparently dedicated to a simple self-denying lifestyle with few political aims however there are suggestions that they actively seek to recruit high-ranking political figures. Honi Soit has referred to the group as a “cult.”
Although Perrottet has denied being a part of the organisation, he can’t seem to shake the characterisation of a religious zealot.
