Mark Speakman
Leader of the NSW Opposition
The NSW Opposition has called out Premier Chris Minns’ hypocrisy and weakness for refusing to sack his Parliamentary Secretary for Emergency Services Anthony D’Adam.
Opposition Leader Mark Speakman said that Chris Minns has failed to set standards or to stand by his Police Commissioner, as Mr D’Adam remains in his Executive despite calling the NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb a liar.
“We were all shocked to hear Mr D’Adam say in Parliament last night “The approach of the Public Order and Riot Squad at many Palestine protests makes a liar of the commissioner”, said Mr Speakman.
“Chris Minns’ words are hollow if he refuses to act.”
“The standard you walk past is the standard you accept. If Mr D’Adam remains a member of the Executive, it says a lot about the Premier’s weakness and failure of leadership.”
