Kiama MP Gareth Ward to appeal against rape conviction
While the government is preparing to take an extraordinary step in removing it from Parliament, the infamous Kiama Deputy Gareth Ward will appeal to his conviction after being found guilty of sex crimes.
A jury, former Liberal Minister of the NSW Regional Court after a nine -week hearing of two young men sexual harassment of the days, Ward, the result by the result “absolutely shattered” and gave instructions to start preparing objection to the law team, he said.
“I get advice about the next steps, but I can verify that I have instructed my law team to prepare the earliest opportunity to appeal to the earliest opportunity,” he said.

“I get this opportunity to thank many people who sent me warm and caring support messages from our community to me and my family.”
The announcement prevents the Parliamentary Sitting Week of the next week, where both the labor force and the coalition will take action to expel Ward after a sexual intercourse without consent.
On Wednesday evening, the government leader Ron Hoenig in the Lower Assembly asked Ward to give Ward any explanation or material that the Legislative Assembly wanted to consider it before the first seating day next week.
Hoenig wrote, “Considering serious criminal crimes, which should consider whether the parliament should take action to protect the high stance of the parliament of your membership, you will appreciate it for fulfilling the great responsibility of the community.
In accordance with the NSW Constitution, a seat is empty if the deputy is convicted of a crime that can be sentenced to five years or more imprisonment. However, this process is waiting for any appeal process in court.
