Dale Kirby started the day as Minister of Education and Early Childhood Development, but was stripped of his cabinet position and booted from the Liberal caucus by the afternoon. Premier Dwight Ball broke the news before question period on Monday, telling reporters complaints had been made against Kirby in the morning. Complaints against Kirby have been referred to Commissioner of Legislative Standards for review as with those against Eddie Joyce. Ball said the complaints against Kirby were neither physical nor sexual in nature, and said an investigation would now be undertaken by the commissioner of legislative standards. Ball says this doesn’t reflect on his ability to lead and manage his caucus, complaints against TWO cabinet ministers now booted from caucus as reviews into formal complaints about their behaviour underway.
