Gladys Berejiklian has resigned as premier of New South Wales after it was revealed she is under investigation from ICAC.
She will also step down as the member for Willoughby, which will trigger a by-election.
“I have made it clear on numerous occasions that if any of my ministers were the subject of allegations being investigated by an integrity agency or law enforcement, then he or she should stand aside during the course of the investigation until their name was cleared,” Ms Berejiklian said.
“The reason for my stance was not to have made any presumptions, as to their conduct, but rather to maintain the integrity of the public office which has held, which that person is held whilst an investigation was completed.
"That same standard must always apply to me also as the premier, however standing aside is not an option for me as the premier of New South Wales as the people of this state need certainty as to who the leader is during the challenging times of the pandemic.
“I cannot predict how long it will take the ICAC to complete this investigation, let alone deliver a report in circumstances where I was first called to give evidence in a public hearing nearly 12 months ago.
“Therefore, it pains me to announce that I have no option but to resign from the Office of Premier, my resignation will take effect as soon as the New South Wales Liberal Party can elect a new parliamentary leader in order to allow the new leader and government, a fresh start.”

8. Lockdowns do not prevent the spread of disease. There is little to no evidence lockdowns have any impact on limiting “Covid deaths”. If you compare regions that locked down to regions that did not, you can see no pattern at all.

COVIDzero reduced her to a negative number.
It’s a start. But no where near finished....
I never heard of her before but it is absolutely certain that she is a born BS Artist and she deserves nothing but scorn.
I just lost 10 minutes or more of my life watching her drivel and mindless ranting.
Father, forgive me as I know not what I do when I waste such precious time watching this absolute garbage.
Bttt.
Now if only we could do that to, oh, a few thousand politicians and their advisors here in America and in Europe.
It’s a start though so that’s something.
Cuomo...gulag gladys...who is next?..one doesn’t resign when one is squeaky clean....
You Aussies ought to get a few ropes and find a few sturdy lamp posts.
Right, look at what happened to New York when they got rid of Cuomo.
They got a real LUNATIC NUTCASE in his place.
That being N.Y. i would bet the majority are happy with this nut job. Socialism means taking from those who can and giving to those who don’t care to.
Whole lot of worthless folks in N.Y. want to be given every damned thing.
