Jo Haylen has resigned as New South Wales' transport minister due to revelations of misusing a ministerial car for personal trips. Following a 13-hour round trip to a winery and a series of outings with her family, she acknowledged that her actions fell short of public expectations, despite claiming she did not break formal rules. The scrutiny prompted a reflection on her judgment, which she stated had caused damage to her government and let the public down. Premier Chris Minns noted the high expectations for ministers, particularly concerning their use of taxpayer-funded resources.
"I made mistakes; people aren't perfect," Haylen said. "I did not break the rules, but I acknowledge that's not the only test here."
