Steve Herbert has resigned.

It comes on the back of public pressure following revelations he used tax-payer funded cars to chauffeur his two dogs.

He issued a statement on Wednesday morning, saying he would not be contesting the next election.

Today I have spoken to the Premier and offered him my resignation. I am proud of what I have achieved in my time as a Minister. pic.twitter.com/yTCdC9FDYP
