Jacqui Felgate thinks MP Sam Hibbins should be ‘booted out’ of parliament

Greens Member for Prahran Sam Hibbins has resigned from the Greens party room, after he admitted to having an affair with a staffer from his office.

Hibbins has held the seat of Prahran since 2014 and is married with two children. He has released a statement video via his Instagram, recognising his decision was a significant error of judgement.

He will remain in the seat of Prahran as an Independent and 3AW Drive host Jacqui Felgate thinks “if he was in the corporate world, he would be booted out”.

“This parliament is full of grubs,” Felgate said on 3AW Drive.

Member for Mildura Jade Benham had her say on the situation and thinks Hibbins shouldn’t remain in parliament.

“This is nothing new, in any other workplace it would be immediate dismissal,” Benham said on 3AW Drive.
