Dominic Perrottet, 39, has become the state's youngest premier in history after winning a party room ballot against Planning Minister Rob Stokes. But what went after his successor Gladys Berejiklian's resignation has created much bigger a stir in the state.
The election of a new NSW Liberal leader comes after Berejiklian's shock resignation last Friday following an announcement by NSW's Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) it was investigating her.
Will Perrottet be able to become a crisis leader just like his successor? Only time will tell.
