MP Files Legal Appeal From Inside Hotel California — Prison Edition
In a plot twist worthy of a crime drama binge, NSW’s parliament faces a 'constitutional showdown' to kick out Gareth Ward, a Kiama MP now convicted of rape. Both major parties want him out, but Ward’s still playing Defense Lawyer MVP, hiring legal guns 'from his prison cell.' Apparently, his cell has better Wi-Fi than some parliaments, as the Minns government scrambles for an urgent court hearing to overturn an injunction blocking his expulsion. As the saga unfolds, one thing's clear: prison bars are no barrier to a political soap opera.
