Aah, sonny wants to play tit for tat.

NSW finance minister Greg Pearce has been sacked by Premier Barry O'Farrell.

Mr O'Farrell called a press conference at 2:45pm after further inquiries related to the minister's conduct by The Daily Telegraph.

The Daily Telegraph had been inquiring into appointments Mr Pearce has made to a government board.

Mr O"Farrell said: "Following a media enquiry today, it became clear that Mr Pearce had failed to disclose to the Prmeier a conflict of interest in relation to a board appointment.

"This afternoon I spoike to Mr Peare and informed him he would not longer remain on the frontbench.

"I mean it when I say I expect the highest standards from members of my government."

The sacking comes after inquiries from The Daily Telegraph over Mr Pearce appointing his wife's boss to the Sydney Water board.


Mr O'Farrell described Mr Pearce's actions as a "clear breach of the ministerial code of conduct".

The sacking comes after The Daily Telegraph inquired as to why Mr Pearce's wife's boss at Sydney University had been appointed to the Sydney WAter board.

Richard Fisher is general counsel of Sydney University and Mr Pearces wife Shauna Jarrett is his assistant group secretary.

"I made clear what I was proposing to do. Mr Pearce was clearly disappointed and unhappy and accepted my decision," the Premier said.

FINANCE Minister Greg Pearce has spent two months of his two years in the job away from home on the taxpayer -including 18 weekends away, many of them with his wife. 
 
The minister, who is on the government's razor gang responsible for tough spending cuts, has spent more than $22,000 on 39 domestic away trips involving 56 nights' accommodation, documents released under freedom of information laws to The Daily Telegraph reveal.

Mr Pearce, who is also the Minister for the Illawarra and in charge of Hunter Water, often makes announcements or schedules meetings on Friday or Saturday in Wollongong or other regional areas then stays the weekend, often with his wife. Wollongong is just 90 minutes from Sydney - close enough for many to commute - and Newcastle just two hours away.

Appointing convicted drug dealers to positions of authority is not something of which to be proud.

Maybe you should email Barry O'Farrell (Lib) about that, expressing your displeasure.

Barry O'Farrell sacks NSW Finance Minister Greg Pearce for conduct breach
BY:MARK COULTAN F

NSW Finance Minister Greg Pearce has been sacked for breaching the ministerial code of conduct, Premier Barry O'Farrell says.

Mr Pearce was sacked today for not disclosing to cabinet that an appointee he made to the Sydney Water Board in 2011 worked with his wife.

Actually, cods, the press has been reporting on Pearce's rorts for more than two weeks.
Even your favourite, The Daily Teltgraph....

:)

Hey Andre, nice of you to throw mud at Tanya's husband, but he sounds like someone who turned his life around and made something of himself;

In 1986, at the age of 21, he was imprisoned for less than three years of a nine-year sentence for conspiracy to import narcotics. At the time he was a heroin user. He recovered from his addiction through a Salvation Army program.

I think its pretty average to throw morality questions at a woman because he husband did the wrong, owned it, served his punishment then proceeded to right his wrongs, all of which happened 27 years ago.  It is also something Coutts-Trotter has never hid, denied or tried to blame on anyone else.

He is also someone who the Liberal Party also saw good things in and have kept on board during their term in government.

If the best you have on someone is what they did 27 years ago, then you are about stuffed in the credibility stakes.

Hahahaha, poor Cods.  He was sacked today, in 2013, for an appointment he made in 2011.

Now why was he only sacked now, some two years after the appointment, because the Telegraph ran a story on it bringing it to light.

So the Frog is right, he was only sacked after it coming to light from a newspaper.

"You guys" hey.  I have never brought up that incident about Abbott, and have regularly stated on the said topic that it was a long time ago and hardly worthy of a mention.

While I may not think Abbott should be leader of the Opposition Party, it doesnt mean I resort to that kind of cheap crap, nor does it make me one of "those guys".

Absolutely right, cod.

But only because O'Farrell changed the rules on travel claims to allow ministers to attend football matches, etc on the public purse.
