In an extraordinary move, the Port Macquarie MP released a statement on Sunday saying: "Sadly, the events of the past weeks and months have cemented my decision".
But Ms Williams, who called on Mr Barilaro to resign after his ill-fated tilt at federal politics, said she told the Deputy Premier of her decision last week. "The NSW Liberals and Nationals have delivered unprecedented investment across the Port Macquarie electorate and to put this in jeopardy and hold the Premier and the government to ransom during this COVID-19 pandemic was unnecessary, unhelpful and frankly politically reckless and unreasonable," Ms Williams said.conduct and dealing that has once again effectively been condoned and failed to be addressed.
