Pearce allegations referred to the ICAC
NSW Opposition Leader John Robertson says the sacking has come two months too late.
"This is a minister who's had very serious questions raised about his behaviour, about the use of taxpayer funds for weekend travel and board appointments," he said.
"Instead of sacking Greg Pearce two months ago, the Premier's been running a protection racket, protecting this minister by refusing to have these matters referred to the ICAC."
