"Louise Haigh has resigned as transport secretary only 12 hours after it emerged she had been convicted of fraud over a missing work phone."
"Whatever the facts of the matter, this issue will inevitably be a distraction from delivering the work of this government," Haigh stated in her resignation letter.
"Despite her conviction being spent, the events surrounding it have been contentious, with reports suggesting that Aviva launched an investigation into repeated claims of missing company phones."
"Haigh admitted that her mistake was not informing Aviva immediately after recovering her old work phone, which led to her conviction for fraud by false representation."
