WA Liberal leader Libby Mettam dismissed Steve Thomas after it was revealed he sought assistance from disgraced former Labor Premier Brian Burke to arrange a meeting.
Ms Mettam joined Oliver Peterson on Perth Live to discuss the decision behind Steve Thomas’ dismissal.
“It was a difficult day today, but it was important for me to put a line in the sand. Obviously, the events of yesterday were disappointing for myself and my team,” Ms Mettam said.
“I took the action that I felt that I needed to, which was to ask him [Steve Thomas] to resign, in relation to that matter, from his leadership positions as well as his shadow portfolio decisions.”
