NSW Premier and Sydney nightlife advocate (lol) Mike Baird has just announced he's quitting politics.
He announced this morning that he's handing over the title to a new premier for the state, declaring:
"Serving as premier of NSW has been a tremendous honour, but I have made clear from the beginning that I was in politics to make a difference, and then move on. After 10 years in public life, this moment for me has arrived."
Baird also said a new premier will be appointed next week, announcing:
"Next week there will be a Liberal party-room meeting and a spill of leadership positions. Following that meeting, I will resign from parliament, effective immediately."
Alright, people. You know what to do.
L8er, sk8er.
