The ABC understands the Transport Minister will make the announcement this afternoon, when he will also confirm he will not contest the NSW Liberal leadership.

Rumours were swirling for some time that Mr Constance would be running for a seat in the next federal election, and he was tipped to contest the traditionally Liberal seat.

Mr Constance's announcement comes just two days after premier Gladys Berejiklian's sudden resignation.

Needs to be investigated by the corruption watch dog

susieclapton Again? That trick never works.

He would do a much better job than Scomo.

Would not have his department failed to ensure transport drivers from the airport picking up cargo flight crews, not get a direction that they are to wear a mask, disinfection vehicles after each job? That's why the nswpolice stated they could not charge the driver,Total neglect

Rats leaving a sinking ship. I don’t feel sorry for the people of NSW as in politics you usually get what you deserve.

Just leave...now...

So two by elections coming up to test the campaigning skills of the new Premier.

Gladys

He said he was resigning May 2020 then changed his mind. I acknowledge it was a stressful time on the south coast but the gripes he had aren’t going away and probably are worse. Don’t know that he has the thick skin to move to Federal.

... and into federal politics, where there's bigger troughs to fry.

Just leave and don't show your face again sook boy.

It was reported yesterday that he was putting his hand up to be Premier

Does he miss Gladdy that much? Awwwww. 🙄

Ahhhh 💡, no Federal ICAC!

federal politics ? Haha because we don't have a Federal ICAC yet to smoke out all the corrupt rats yet, so that's all where they are going now

I’m mean if you don’t want to do politics any more you could just leave. No need to waste everyone’s time…..

Now for his “Paid Forward “ job at the toll road companies he’s already filled the coffers of and he can get a huge salary for doing nothing! ( he’s already done his bit!)

😜The can of worms 🐛

Very interesting , trying for a SAFE Federal Seat.🤨

'Instead, he will run for the federal seat of Gilmore on the state's south coast.' Really ? I thought I read that Smirko had put Mundine forward as his captain's choice.

Wait every body! Don't get too excited. He may decide to go into Federal politics. 😆😐

Sinking ship

Mr Ferry McFerryface.🙄
