NSW Labor MP Shaoquett Moselmane has resigned as assistant president of the Legislative Council, after coming under fire for repeatedly praising China’s response to the coronavirus crisis.

Mr Moselmane tendered his resignation on Monday afternoon, less than a year after he was elected in a secret ballot of NSW upper house MPs in May 2019.

His resignation relates only to the role of assistant president, which will see him forgo $57,525 in additional salary and allowances per year. The position will remain vacant until a replacement is appointed when Parliament sits in September. Mr Moselmane remains a member of the NSW upper house and a member of the Labor Party.

Not enough. This hateful bloke has no place in any major political party.

Boot him, Labor.
