Scully Resignation a Reminder to All MPs

Scully resignation needs to be turning point in politicians' behaviour

The Scully resignation is a reminder to all MPs that the public expect politicians to act ethically Greens MP Lee Rhiannon said today.

"The Premier and all the Labor Ministers need to learn the tough lessons from the Scully resignation," Ms Rhiannon said.

"Mr Scully's actions have damaged the Labor government and the democratic process.

"The Coalition would be wise to refrain from crowing over Mr Scully's resignation. Liberal and National MPs could well be in Mr Scully's shoes if they were in government

"What has happened to Mr Scully is a reminder to all public figures to lift their game.

"The Premier should use Mr Scully's resignation to demonstrate to the people of NSW that sneaky underhand tactics will not be tolerated.

"Both major parties need to learn the lesson that the public want their elected representatives to act honestly at all times," Ms Rhiannon said.
