MORNING BRIEFING: Former NSW Liberal MP Gareth Ward is under growing pressure to quit the parliament or be forced out after he was yesterday charged with alleged sex crimes, including against a teenage boy.

Kiama MP Gareth Ward is under growing pressure to quit parliament.

Acting Premier Paul Toole yesterday reiterated his leader Dominic Perrotet's view, "to seek his resignation from the parliament immediately".Labor leader Chris Minns agreed with the push. The ABC understands that former federal MP Craig Thomson has been charged with further offences overnight, relating to fraudulent applications against the state government's COVID-19 relief schemes.

An apprehended violence order was taken out against him last year after he sent 140 emails to his former wife, including two threatening ones. In July last year, Optus informed the regulator of the breach involving more than 34,000 customers who were not receiving the level of service they had paid for.

A man has been charged with obstructing traffic during a climate action protest in Port Botany yesterday morning.
