Mike Baird is off, mid-term, costing NSW more money. I would suggest that this is the biggest dummy-spit ever, from an arrogant politician who wasn't allowed to get away with his self-serving whims to please people who would not have voted Liberal in fit. Here, once again, is an example of the poor quality of Australian politicians.

Mike said that he left because of the health problems of his parents and his sister; I, for one, believe him and wish him the best.

Good luck Mike, I hope things turn out for the best.

They all say that they that they are leaving for "family reasons", the big jessies. It has become a cliche. Good riddance, but give up the goodies forceably ripped off taxpayers and make your own way in the real world, you bludger.

The bloke had a few good points in my book, but will be remembered in the years to come as a environmental vandal. Can't wait to see Baird's replacement, with Donald Duck unavailable it will be a hard choice for the Liberal Party.

Good riddance to the crooked bastard.

I hope his mum and sister will be OK. Although I'm not sure how his resignation is supposed to have any impact on their health. Must be some 'alternative medicine' theory I haven't heard about before.
