Berry Resigns Amid Corruption Probe | Australia News
Description
Labor MP Yvette Berry resigns from cabinet amid fallout from Operation Kingfisher, a probe revealing corrupt conduct by her former staff in a school modernization project — though Berry herself was cleared. The Chief Minister holds ministers accountable for staff actions, sparking calls for sweeping procurement reforms and scrutiny of the “Secure Local Jobs Code,” which critics say enables union-driven cost inflation and undermines local hiring. Business groups demand systemic overhaul, while some praise Berry’s community contributions — including her backing of ice sports — as Labor prepares to pick her successor.
