Campbell quits as NSW transport minister

NSW Labor MP David Campbell has been accused of using a taxpayer-funded government car to visit a gay sex club in the state premier's eastern suburbs electorate.

Channel Seven on Thursday night aired footage of Mr Campbell allegedly visiting the club in Kensington.

Mr Campbell has resigned as the state's Minister for Transport and Roads, citing personal reasons.

"I apologise to my wife, family, colleagues, staff and the community for letting them down," he said in a short statement.

"This will be a very difficult time for my family and friends and I ask for their privacy to be respected."

According to Seven, Mr Campbell visited the gay club, Ken's at Kensington on Anzac Parade, on Tuesday night in Premier Kristina Keneally's electorate of Heffron for two hours.

The station then showed footage of a man who appeared to be Mr Campbell, wearing a white business shirt and dark trousers but no jacket.

The man emerged from a doorway into a street and a set of ascending stairs could be seen clearly behind him.

The man walks along the ill-lit street, passes a corrugated iron fence before emerging from the darkness to get into a white Holden sedan.

Comment is being sought from Ms Keneally.

Mr Campbell said he would remain in parliament as the member for Keira.

"I am incredibly proud of my achievements while serving as minister for Transport, Roads, Police, Small Business, the Illawarra, Regional Development and Water Utilities," Mr Campbell said in the statement.

Mr Campbell has been under pressure to resign on numerous occasions this year, most recently for his handling of accident on the F3 north of Sydney which left motorists stranded for hours.

The opposition has also called for him to stand down over the tens of millions of dollars lost on the scrapped CBD Metro.

A spokesman for Opposition Leader Barry O'Farrell on Thursday said the opposition would not be commenting on Mr Campbell's resignation.
I'm shocked tbh

Hahaha. Of all the terrible things the NSW labor party has done, this is easily one of the least bad.

In fact its not even bad at all, they all use the government cars for personal shit.

People actually care about this?
last time i checked a minister quitting his portfolio and possibly politics because of a gay sex scandal was justified of some news attention.

ps i give him 3 days and he has a suicide attempt.

I mean people care that he used ~government~ car to get around.

That just seems so lame that people would care at all let alone enough to make him quit his portfolio.

I wonder how many blackmail attempts have been made against that fat idiot. He was police minister for awhile I'd be surprised if senior police weren't aware of his habits.

Homosexuality isn't a crime and ministers are perfectly entitled to use their government cars for personal use.

Shame on the media for such a blatant breach of privacy. There was absolutely no legitimate public interest in running the story.

He should have been sacked for incompetence, but it's unfortunate to see him go over this.

Yeah I don't see what him attending a gay club has to do with his job.

The big issues: global warming, terrorism, poverty, politician using government car to visit a gay sex club.

I feel bad for the man.

Hasn't the scum photographer who took the picture and hence published broken some kind of privacy law/telecommunications act?

That kind of shit is not fair. When our politicans leave the office of an evening- they leave the public eye!
