The convicted rapist Gareth Ward resigned from the NSW Parliament, lost his salary financed by the taxpayer and triggered a choice in Kiama.
Parliament would vote for its deportation at 10.30 on Friday morning. The speaker Greg Piper received his resignation letter at 9.08.
Ward was found guilty of a sexual intercourse last month without consent, and three immoral attacks against two young men whom he acted as a deputy.

Now this week, the former deputy tried to prevent the parliament from voting to expel him, and a temporary precautionary decision was given on Monday that the lower house was voted.

Until Friday, Ward ignored Emek and his satisfaction with his former liberal colleagues, resigned while waiting for his September sentence from the prison cell in Cessnock.

“The Jury’s decision made his claims to be elected to the people of Kiama and made it on a journey.”
